Highly Plausible Alternative Approach to Biblical History - Rated
This is an alternative, but highly plausible, take on the history of the Israelite's and the lives of Jesus and St Paul (Saul). The author makes a very strong case for the real identity of the Israelite's and their subsequent exodus. Ellis uncovers evidence to show that this exodus was the none other than the plight of the Hyksos, who were the Shepherd King's of the ancient Lower Egypt kingdom. Biblical fathers such as Abraham were in fact these King's or Pharaohs.
Fast forward 1,600 years to New Testament times and Ellis uncovers evidence that Jesus was none other than a royal descendant of these Hyksos kings. His actual mission was to regain the royal throne that his ancestors once held. The subsequent religion of Christianity that sprang shortly after this period was not what Jesus taught or preached at all.
Ellis argues that our Pauline version of Christianity was created by Paul (Saul) for profit only. Paul was Jew who constantly switched sides between the Roman's and the Jew's and ultimately saw out his life in luxury in Rome under the guise of Josephus where he wrote several New Testament texts in an effort to create his fledgling church. He also wrote several major historical works covering Jewish history and the Roman-Judeo wars of the 1st century A.D.
Ellis does make some bold assertions in this book with the most notable being that the ancient homeland of the Jew's is none other than Northern Egypt and not modern day Israel. This obviously would have all sorts of political implications if further irrefutable proof was ever uncovered. Whether you take this theory seriously or not, this book is a highly interesting read.
Courageously forgiveable, intellectually exciting - Rated
Ralph Ellis has a tendency to get so passionate about what he feels he is revealing as to get in the way of his thesis. There are a few times where the conflux and competition of theories that have been competing with each other for decades (from Hancock and the ancient extra-terrestrials theory to the Masonic/Knights Templar hypotheses regarding Egypt and the like) splash into each other like waves on a beach in his work and writing style, crashing over you while you're trying to reach the surface on your last breath. And yet he stays committed to a central thesis well enough to have his point of view unfold with such lucidity and believeability that a new perspectiveon Biblical history takes hold in your mind. Any and all people who love this kind of innovative and contraversial scholarhip on the Bible and Western religion will forgive the mistakes and strange turns in this book, and focus on the impressive research he has done almost uncontrollably. He actually does succeed, in his own way, in creating a missing link between many nearly conflicting theories, if not a unified-field lexicon with which to actually guage their validity. And of course, if you are new to the idea of Jesus being linked with ancient Egypt, prepare for one hell of a ride.
I recommend the works of Gerald Massey--particularly ANCIENT EGYPT, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, after reading this.
It's a great read.
A "Must Read" for all searchers of the Truth! - Rated
Have you ever wondered why the characters named in the Bible do not seem to be mentioned in our Ancient History records? This book sets out to find out the truth about these people and their actual historic existence. A really memorable read that starts to make sense of the Bible and what was going on around the time of the Exodus. See how the Biblical characters become actual historical figures and you'll see that it all starts to come together in a logical way.
Thought provoking - Rated
The most thought provoking book on religion that I have read. If only half of this is true, we will have to think seriously about reavaluating all of Western theology.
