First published in 1952, this volume is the first of six covering the period from the Exodus to Alexander the Great. It is based on Velikovsky's earlier work, "Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History," and precedes his other notable titles. This volume spans from the Exodus to Akhenaten, yet remains largely unfamiliar to biblical scholars and evangelists. Velikovsky's connections between biblical events and Near Eastern history often face skepticism, possibly due to past disillusionment with false claims and a misplaced trust in blind belief. His meticulous attention to detail and profound knowledge continue to inspire. Despite the emergence of lesser works, none have presented such a compelling case. Those interested in alternative chronologies would benefit from studying Velikovsky's works to save time. His exploration of the origins of various beliefs and the synchronisms he finds between the Old Testament and ancient history are groundbreaking. Had he published this volume before "Worlds in Collision," his influence might have been greater. Familiarity with his chronology suggests a future impact, as the prevailing pseudochronology, rooted in outdated beliefs, loses credibility. The resistance against Velikovsky's ideas raises questions, especially among those who have engaged with his works. Other recommended readings include titles by David Rohl, Peter James, Ryan and Pitman, Mary Settegast, and Robert Schoch.
