And if yes, what's your impression?

My impression so far is that is typical David Rohl. Broad in scope, yet retaining a very readable (to the layman) style. I've been waiting years for this and I'm not disappointed. Very courageous scholar and excellent writer/broadcaster.

I've seen some incomplete Egyptian dynastic tables which I believe are Rohl's dates. I could dig out "A Test of Time" and draft something in Excel if you like? Other than that, I'm sorry, but I haven't seen anything in chart form online.

The charts I have made have some gaps unfortunately. And without a proper TIP time table the entire Rohl thing appears somewhat shaky to anyone who is doubtful about Rohl's theories anyways. BTW I am re-reading "The Lords of Avaris" as well.

I'm in total agreement in that the TIP is the sticking point. Afaik it seems to be the commonly held view of these dynasties as sequential (including, to an extent, XIX & XX) which necessitates the "Dark Ages" throughout other parts of the world. It's amazing how those Classical Greeks and Romans managed to forget those centuries of obscurity......  Logged Cush administrator researcher Offline Posts: 271 Re: "The Lords of Avaris" by David Rohl « Reply #6 on: August 19, 2007, 11:57:38 AM » >>> continue discussion about TIP here « Last Edit: August 19, 2007, 12:03:55 PM by Cush » Logged Pages: [1]   « previous next » Jump to: Please select a destination: ----------------------------- New Chronology Discussion ----------------------------- => Mesopotamian Chronology => Egyptian and Levantine Chronology => Biblical Chronology => Ethiopian Chronology => Anatolian Chronology => Mediterranean Chronology ----------------------------- Geographical Regions Discussion ----------------------------- => Irano-Mesopotamia and Anatolia => Syria, Levant, and Arabian Peninsula => Africa ----------------------------- Literature ----------------------------- => Ancient Literature => Medieval Literature => Modern Literature ----------------------------- General Discussion ----------------------------- => Hellos and Welcomes => Small Talk => Feedback, Forum & Site functions   1 Hour 1 Day 1 Week 1 Month Forever Login with username, password and session length History-Book Forum | Powered by SMF 1.0.8. © 2001-2005, Lewis Media.
