Ages in Chaos III

<p>The book "Peoples of the Sea" consists of three independent parts each of which contributes to making this the most important volume of the <em>Ages in Chaos</em> series. With respect to its original publication date it is the second volume of the series with respect to its content however it is the last volume. Indeed in Part II - with the campaigns of Alexander the Great - it links up the revised with the classical and universally accepted chronology thereby winding up Velikovsky's reconstruction of ancient history. Nevertheless this volume is a good read on its own and will be enjoyed even by those who are unfamiliar with the other volumes of the series.</p><p>Part I sees the error of classical historiography reach its maximum namely 800 years! Such a tremendous time shift cannot and will not be readily accepted by anyone - whether it be a layman or a specialist - since it fundamentally amounts to a declaration of bankruptcy for the classic historical sciences - not only concerning Egypt but the entire ancient Orient as well. Therefore Velikovsky's painstaking and well documented line of argument - along with confirmation by radiocarbon tests - remains indispensable. Just imagine - for comparison only - the consequences of Jesus of Nazareth turning out to have been a contemporary of Charlemagne - or of Richard the Lionheart as a contemporary of Ronald Reagan and Michail Gorbachev!</p><p>But how could it be possible for generations of serious scholars to have erred to such an extent? It is precisely this question that the third part of the book - its supplement - deals with. Here the foundations of Egyptian chronology above all astronomical chronology are carefully examined. Moreover in addition to the original content of this book we have incorporated a very revealing article by Velikovsky on what radiocarbon dating has to say about his findings.</p><p>The striking clarity of the depicted facts and the extremely important contributions in the supplement make this book a work of exceptional importance which is still waiting for the definitive response that is long overdue from the part of the historical sciences.</p>
