(More customer reviews)This is one of the most exciting historical books I've ever read. Sweeney has finally answered the question as to why the important characters of biblical history were apparently unknown to the Egyptians. The two chronologies are out of sync by 1,000 years. Truly revolutionary. The most exciting part for me was the discovery that Joseph (of the many-coloured coat) was the same person as Imhotep, the great seer who designed the Step Pyramid at Sakkara. This book is a must for any Indiana Jones enthusiasts of Egyptian and biblical history.

Genesis of Israel and Egypt proposes a radically new view of ancient history and the forces which shaped it. Many biblical characters are associated with Egypt and scholars have always attempted to connect biblical accounts of ancient times with history as recorded in Egyptian hieroglyphics. All attempts failed and the orthodox view developed that the major characters of Hebrew tradition were actually of such minor significance that they had no place in the Egyptian accounts. Although it was recognised that many tantalising similarities existed between the two histories, no one could make them tally.
