About the book: 2005 / Until recently, science considered the Bible a mythological fiction. A group of modern scientists, consisting of specialists representing different scientific disciplines, managed to prove that the biblical narrative is historically reliable and based on real facts and events. After conducting numerous studies, authoritative historians have developed an alternative chronology of the Ancient World and put the Old Testament on a reliable archaeological basis. In this book, written by the famous professor of Egyptology David Rohl, a supporter of the New Chronology, in addition to a fascinating analysis of biblical texts, taking into account the results of recent archaeological finds, this book attempts to reconstruct history the books of Genesis in a new chronological context. The theories of mathematicians A. G. Fomenko and G. V. Nosovsky, which amazed everyone, are significantly inferior in argumentation to the scientifically and logically verified conclusions of David Rohl.
