12 Tribes, 10 Plagues, and the 2 Men Who Were Moses: A Historical Journey into Biblical Times [Paperback]

Graham Phillips (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: April 2003

From the ten plagues of Egypt to the battle of David and Eshbaal, this book shows that many fascinating Old Testament stories can be scientifically corroborated. Reading like a mystery, it draws upon extensive research to piece together the real story of the Hebrews and the founding of their religion. Many of the author’s findings, including the location of Mount Sinai, will surprise readers. But most surprising, the author unravels the confused chronology of the Book of Exodus and identifies Moses as not one but two men — a Hebrew priest called Kamose and the Egyptian Prince Tuthmose — a theory that will challenge many readers’ long-held beliefs. Photographs are included in this uncommonly understood history of the Bible.

1.0 out of 5 stars Graham Phillips unable to answer Steve Reina's challenge, February 23, 2004

I find it very interesting that Graham Phillips has been unable to answer Steve Reina's challenge as to the Book of Jasher. According to his index Phillips uses Jasher ninteen times to support his thesis as to the historical connection between the Edomites and the original mountain of Yaweh worship.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good reading until you check its sources and find they're made up, June 15, 2007

This review is from: 12 Tribes, 10 Plagues, and the 2 Men Who Were Moses: A Historical Journey into Biblical Times (Paperback)

To make this short, the book is a waste of time - considering that (as other reviewers have pointed out) one of the main sources is considered a hoax (the book of Jasher...at least the one traced to Alucin). The author loses any remaining credibility when he notes that a professor from Philadelphia University, Michael Martin, studied the book and "was convinced of its authenticity before publishing it in 1995." I verified the claim made by other reviewers...try as you may, you can not find any evidence of such a book being published, or such an individual existing (Michael Martin of Phil. Univ.).

I don't mind reading theories that make some leaps of faith or that go against conventional beliefs, but I do not appreciate authors conveniently making up sources to support their claims.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evidence for the Exodus, November 24, 2004

By 

Malachi (Lethbridge, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 12 Tribes, 10 Plagues, and the 2 Men Who Were Moses: A Historical Journey into Biblical Times (Paperback)

This is one of the best books I have read on the Bible mysteries for a long time. The author's identification of the historical Moses is fascinating, but what make this book exceptional is that it shows how the story of the Exodus and the foundation of Israel by King David were historical events. The book does not only rely upon the author's own interpretation of ancient texts; it also includes contributions from experts who reveal some fascinating archaeological discoveries that support the Old Testament accounts. A marvelous, enlightening and erudite work.
