The Life and Times of Akhnaton, Pharaoh of Egypt


Book Description

"The Life and Times of Akhnaton, Pharaoh of Egypt" by English egyptologist Arthur Edward Pearse Brome Weigall is a seminal piece of historic non-fiction. Providing one of the most thoroughly researched biographies of the Pharoah Akhnaton. Basing his work on discoveries that, at the time of writing the book, were being unearthed daily, Weigall is able to create a picture of the rise and fall of this Pharaoh. Though it might be impossible to go back in time, Arthur Weigall has managed to create a picture that is so immersive, that readers have felt as if they were actually in Ancient Egypt since it was first published in 1910.

Synchronized Chronology


Book Description

Imagine how distorted our understanding of ancient history would be if the chronological framework around which it was built had several extra centuries added. What if the backbone of Egyptian dynasties contained duplicates? The Synchronized Chronology resolves the structural problems of Egyptian chronology and then outlines the correct history of the Middle East and Mediterranean time of Abraham and his wandering into the Empire of Alexander the Great. Recognizing some overlapping of dates and names in Manetho's List of Kings, frees history to place pharaohs and dynasties where archaeology supports their existence. This resolves a myriad of discrepancies and unlikely assumptions that historians have been forced to swallow, and neatly opens the way to synchronizing Egyptian dynasties with Biblical chronology.
