I think I always held out for the possibility of Akhenaten being the Pharaoh of Joseph, son of Jacob, converted to monotheism... but it always seemed far fetched in most chronologies.
There's a hack Egyptian writer (I've got the book, but, uh, I only have a vague notion of where it is, out in the garage) who claimed that various Israelite rulers of Israel were instead Egyptian pharaohs, and produced an imaginary causality loop in the process because, y'know, he didn't know what he was talking about. He also claimed Egyptians invented ballet, other stuff (maybe yodeling, I can't remember).
In later years Fomenko came along with his balderdash which put the Egyptian guy's chauvinistic horse-pucky to shame. My favorite off-the-rails whack job still has to be the guy who claimed the entire Roman Empire was a hoax. What about things like the coliseum and Hadrian's Wall? Built later to reinforce the hoax, I guess when everyone was out of town for a carnival and didn't realize there'd been a change when they got back.
Is that the guy who called Alexander the Great 'just a reality show star?' Perhaps these are the History Channel producers who will travel half way around the world with a video crew to find Mushita's gold... and never find anything. Produce endless paranormal ghost shows with mindless people walking around in a green (IR) haze shouting, 'Something touched me!'
What kind of people run this media? ...this world? At least Velikovsky could get published in my day. sigh
Oh! I meant to add - ...and have a flagon of Left Leg. Cheers!
