History, what if they got it wrong?

From the author of “Worlds in Collision” (1950) and “Age is in Chaos: From Exodus to King Akhenaton”, we see compelling evidence that just as Henry Schliemann may have found “Troy”, Velikovsky may have found the real Akhenaton. We find a lot of pictures and supporting evidence that the timeline of the pharaohs may have been a tad off. And in the process of finding the actual timeline, we also find an intriguing mystery. As we search through the Greek epics to find if there was a Trojan War, did Odysseus exist? We must also ask ourselves what about the legend of Oedipus? I will not go into the details of how this legend may be based on a historical truth, as that's why you are buying the book. I can tell you that you will never look at history the same way afterward. For a better understanding of Akhenaton, you may want to read Sigmund Freud's “Moses and Monotheism.”
