5.0 out of 5 stars Stimulating and intelligent, 18 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Pharaohs and Kings: A Biblical Quest (Paperback)
I have just finished reading Pharaoh's and Kings from cover to cover, and could not put it down. Dr. Rohl's conclusions are startling but generally well supported, and provide a valuable insight into ancient Egypt and the Levant. For an introduction to the field of Egyptology and its relation to the Old Testament this book is outstanding.

I do not have a background in Egyptology or Biblical Archaeology, but do hold a Master's degree from Edinburgh University. From my experience, the one drawback to the book is that Dr. Rohl does not provide enough technical data to necessarily support all of his arguments. I have no doubt, however, that all of the supporting documentation was not included with a view towards general public consumption and introduction to Dr. Rohl's exciting work. Still, this is a minor point since overall the chronology he presents, and the re-examination of existing evidence which supports it, are in wide agreement throughout.

I look forward to reading Dr. Rohl's thesis and other published works and encourage all who come across this book to become acquainted with it's contents. No question - this book deserves a 5-star rating!

5.0 out of 5 stars An important re-evaluation, 24 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Pharaohs and Kings: A Biblical Quest (Paperback)
David M. Rohl would have us believe that several hundred years have been mistakenly added to the conventional chronology of our established history. He claims this mistake has prevented archaeology from finding any clues as to the existance of Old Testament characters. I have had this book three years, and have re-read it five (I think) times. Such is the wealth of data contained in this book that I defy anyone (save those who make this subject their career) to read it once, and come to a reasonable conclusion. Rohl presents arguments backed by data that, in the absence of alternate theories - many of which he provides - are hard to refute. Classical Egyptology has poured scorn on this work. I urge readers to tackle traditionalist treatments of the same data (e.g by the respected English scholar Kenneth Kitchen), and then draw their own conclusions. For myself, I feel David Rohl has made an argument at least as convincing for his thesis, as those made by mainstream Egyptologists.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Refreshing New Look into Egyptology and Biblical History, 9 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Pharaohs and Kings: A Biblical Quest (Paperback)
Pharaohs and Kings is one of the most wonderful books I've read in many years. David's Chronology is simply thrilling and challenging and well thought out. Pharaohs and Kings promises to bring alive the chronology debate within Egyptology and Biblical archeology in a most deserving fashion. Indeed, Pharaohs and Kings stands to rewrite our understanding of the past.

As a person just beginning to investigate this area I found the book to be an excellent introduction to the subject matter and yet it has serious background data and technical information. The pictures are also fabulous and the way David defines key technical and cultural terms is fantastic.

I believe Pharaohs and Kings stands to open a whole new door of understanding when it comes to our past and David's willingness to let the data determine the past is refreshing.
