Product Description
Product Description
Few know that the face on the famous death mask of Tutankhamen is not his at all. This book reveals an historical mystery which overturns Ancient Egyptian chronology, and also provides evidence that the Parting of the Red Sea and Plagues of Egypt in the Bible are accounts of actual events.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Essential for anyone interested in Egypt,
By A Customer
This review is from: Act of God (Paperback)
I stumbled across this book by accident while looking for any new Graham Hancock material, and I thought it might be interesting. Boy was I right! This book explaining the events in Exodus sucks you right in and simply will not let go until you reach the last page. Phillips' writing style is actually more enjoyable to read than the aforementioned Hancock who (in my opinion) uses too many numbers, diagrams etc. Graham Phillips excellently explains how Moses(who may not have even been called "Moses") led the Israelites from their bondage and through the Red Sea (which may have actually parted as is shown in the book) and keeps things tight and concise throughout. Overall, a book that is essential not only for ancient history buffs but for anyone who is interested in a good detective story.

An acute and diagnostic review of all available evidence,
By A Customer
This review is from: Act of God (Paperback)
Graham has accomplished a splendid array of research in collaborating all the known, and unknown, archaeological and historical evidence on the Theban New kingdom and Intermediate periods of Ancient Egypt. The documentation of Akhenaten and Tutankhamun is particularly well covered, reading more like a mystery-come detective novel, which in fact it is. The concept of the volcanic eruption of Thera, an island in the Med' during the period concerned - circa mid 14thc BCE (1360'S) and its' after effects is extremely compelling, and believe it or not fits in well with the recent publication of Osman's ideas of a new chronology of the 'biblical' period of Egypt. Similar ideas and events seem to be rapidly tying up, such as the link between Akhenaten and Moses, and the after effects of the volcanic activity linked to the 'plagues' and terrible devastations on Egypt mentioned in the Bible. All in all a compelling and informative read, and, as with evidence such as this, brings forth more questions than answers. Perhaps a good thing for us to consider during our period leading up to the millenium.

A very thought-provoking work,
This review is from: Act of God (Paperback)
I must confess that I stumbled across the works of Graham Phillips by accident. I am extremely glad that I did as the ideas he puts forward are very intriguing. I have deliberately sought out many of his past books as a consequence of both this fact and the sheer verve (not a word normally associated with this type of work) of his writing style. This trend continues with Act of God which manages to bring various strands of historical research together to form a concise, well-reasoned argument for the truth about Moses, the Exodus, Akhenaten, the Great Plagues of Egpyt and the parting of the Red Sea. I have also had the very great pleasure of hearing him speak at several conventions in which it can only be said that he can inform and entertain at the same time (a rare gift). The man is a national treasure.
