Features: The new historical chronology proposed in this book reveals the real historical context in which the epic biblical stories took place, providing astonishing archaeological evidence for the existence of many compelling figures in the Old Testament. David Rohl explores the cities, palaces, and tombs of figures such as Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Saul, David, and Solomon, with their lives being studied from a historical perspective for the first time. The book clarifies some archaeological puzzles, such as the profane statue of Joseph wearing "colorful clothes," the cities of the Israelites during their enslavement in Egypt, including pictorial evidence of this suffering, and Saul the King's letters. Since archaeologists began uncovering the secrets of ancient societies, this book has been one of the most remarkable works for interpreting the Bible.
