Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
In The Lost Testament, David Rohl continues on the path he began with A Test of Time and Legend. In these books, and in a couple of TV documentaries, Rohl established himself as a relatively respectable iconoclast in the over-subscribed genre of rewriting ancient history. He's not one of those who finds extra-terrestrials or proto-Freemasons lurking under every pyramid. His main thesis is simply this: academic Egyptologists, archaeologists and historians have got their dates wrong, and this is why they can't match the Old Testament "historical" books to known Middle Eastern history. Their dating of ancient Egyptian history is out by 200-300 years, says Rohl.
In The Lost Testament, Rohl retells the Bible story--or at least the portion of it from Adam to the start of the Babylonian Captivity--in the light of his New Chronology. He links it in considerable detail with the mythology, history and geography of Mesopotamia and Egypt, showing where, in his view, the stories of Abraham, Joseph, Moses, David and the other well-known biblical heroes fit into their surrounding context. After telling the rewritten version of the biblical story, each chapter concludes with a section on the archaeological and historical setting of that story.
Like his earlier books, The Lost Testament is richly illustrated with black and white photographs throughout. Whether one agrees with Rohl's theory or not--and it must be said that most conventional historians and archaeologists don't--this is not only a worthwhile intellectual exercise, but also a useful contribution to most readers' understanding of the Middle East three or four thousand years ago. --David V Barrett

Another fascinating read from David Rohl
25. Januar 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
David Rohl's latest offering in his New Chronology series is just as fascinating as the others, "Test of Time" and "Legend".
His is a quite plausible explanation of how the chronologies of the ancient Middle East and the stories of the Christian bible can be reconciled, while most biblical archeologists apparently are not able to come up with a consistent explanation of all the relevant information. Of course, it is essential that one accepts Rohl's proposition that the standard chronology is flawed and has to be corrected.
My interest in Rohl's work comes primarily from my fascination with the old Egyptian civilisations. This book is mainly concerned with what Rohl calls the Children of Yahweh and their place in the history of the ancient Middle East. One gets the impression that in general they were quite an unpleasant bunch of neighbours, aggressive, intolerant, biased, untrustworthy etc., but probably the other peoples of those areas and era's were just the same, only less well documented.
I find the work of Rohl quite fascinating and I am looking forward to new books from this author. The reason I gave four stars instead of five is that sometimes one gets overwhelmed with lots of details and king lists etc, although it is clear from the typography that these don't belong to the main text but to further exposition of the theory. The photo's are all in black and white and this makes them less interesting, especially the pictures of archeological excavations look a bit too much alike.

The Lost Testament
2. Juli 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I am a researcher in these matters; This is one of the greatest books, I have come across. I am also from Iran, and I have gone back and seen some of these locations. This is the closest anyone can get with the real physical aspect of the bible , and the Ibrahimic earthly history, and humanity. The true religion is beyond these, but this is a good start to teach the truth about what we have been fed to be the truth by the socalled Organized religion, supported by dis-organized governments.
I truly recommend this book to all Christians, Jewish people and the Muslems. I am sure, after reading this book, they will truly be saved by their inner Moses, Jesus and Mohammad;
It is also very unfortunate that such books are not printed or soldin USA, and we have to by them second hand, and pay a lot to get a copy.
