As I said, a very interesting paper. Whatever the truth is concerning who the Hyksos & Amelekites were, it is certain that the conventional histories/historians are either wrong, or very wrong.

Unfortunately, Velikovsky so completely turned me off back in the 60s, when I read Worlds In Collision, that I never read anything else he wrote. I didn't even consider it decent science fiction; nor was it as entertaining as Eric Van Danigan's ravings. I just could not get past "comet Venus" spewing carbohydrates onto the earth as the source of the manna during the Wanderings.

To be fair, when in the 70s I read The Late, Great Planet Earth, I was under the impression that it WAS a science fiction satire, and laughed my way through it.

I do like Rohl's Pharaohs And Kings, though I haven't gotten around to reading any of his later materials.

E. W. Bullinger demonstrated similar errors in conventional Biblical dating systems, due to not accounting for overlapping/dual reigns; the Hebrew convention of attributing a full reignal year to a partial calender year, etc.

OTOH, I am only qualified to state that I am a totally unqualified lay man, with just enough reading and course work over the decades to know that the conventional chronologies are badly messed up.

Looks like I'll need to reevaluate, and read Ages In Chaos.

Yes, it’s far from science fiction, you might enjoy Ages in Chaos. And about the natural world, Earth in Upheaval is an eye opener. Guaranteed.
