Genesis of Israel and Egypt proposes a radically new view of ancient history and the forces which shaped it. Many biblical characters are associated with Egypt and scholars have always attempted to connect biblical accounts of ancient times with history as recorded in Egyptian hieroglyphics. All attempts failed and the orthodox view developed that the major characters of Hebrew tradition were actually of such minor significance that they had no place in the Egyptian accounts. Although it was recognised that many tantalising similarities existed between the two histories, no one could make them tally.

FANTASTIC,
By cathal coyle (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Genesis of Israel & Egypt: An Enquiry into the Origins of Egyptian & Hebrew History (Paperback)
This is one of the most exciting historical books I've ever read. Sweeney has finally answered the question as to why the important characters of biblical history were apparently unknown to the Egyptians. The two chronologies are out of sync by 1,000 years. Truly revolutionary. The most exciting part for me was the discovery that Joseph (of the many-coloured coat) was the same person as Imhotep, the great seer who designed the Step Pyramid at Sakkara. This book is a must for any Indiana Jones enthusiasts of Egyptian and biblical history.

This review is from: The Genesis of Israel & Egypt: An Enquiry into the Origins of Egyptian & Hebrew History (Paperback)
This is a brief essay on a movement that is growing steadily little by little. This movement says that the past events of ancient civilizations that are currently dated to the third and second millennium BC actually happened in the first millennium BC. The reduction is of some two thousand years of history. Although it seems crazy, it is even more crazy that historians have neglected these anomalies in chronology for so long. It seems that in an age of computers and genetical engineering medieval minds still operate and dominate the field. Hopefully this will change during the 21st century.

The Genesis of Israel and Egypt by Emmett Sweeney,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Genesis of Israel & Egypt: An Enquiry into the Origins of Egyptian & Hebrew History (Paperback)
The author presents a summary of a radical revision of the chronology of ancient history. In sychronizing the histories of Egypt and Israel the author discards the currently accepted chronology.
