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 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 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.
