Excerpt from Egyptian Chronology: An Attempt to Conciliate the Ancient Schemes and to Educe a Rational System
I desire most emphatically to disclaim the opinion formed by one or two friends who have seen the proof sheets that I wish to lower the epoch of human civilisation positive numbers compel me to adopt a lower epoch than that now in fashion for the intro duction of recorded history, which I cannot trace even in monarchic lists to an earlier date than 2924 B. C., but a civilisation which could produce such work as the early sculpture of Egypt before 2500 must have required many centuries to develop.

Excerpt from Egyptian Chronology: An Attempt to Conciliate the Ancient Schemes and to Educe a Rational System
The original intention of the present essay was to collect the numerical statements of the ancient authorities and to present them side by side so as to ascertain if possible the common source from which schemes differing by hundreds and perhaps thousands of years in their epochs for Menes had derived their origin. Should the quest prove futile the labour would not I thought be altogether in vain. For although the ancient schemes had been carefully gathered in expensive works (Lepsius' "Konigsbuch" for example) the reproductions of them in the histories in common use in England were either very incomplete or mingled with so much hypothetic guesswork as to be misleading as to what the ancients really meant: and moreover the present fashion of depreciating the ancients and throwing them aside as either grossly erroneous when genuine, or else as merely post-christian forgeries, did not appear the most likely method of getting at the truth.

Egyptian Chronology (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book challenges traditional chronological schemes for ancient Egypt, offering a new chronology that aligns with monumental data. The author presents evidence for a lower epoch of human civilization than is currently accepted, arguing that recorded history can be traced back no earlier than 2924 BCE. The book examines the work of Manetho and the Turin papyrus, proposing an alternative interpretation of their numbers that leads to a revised understanding of the dynasties. It explores the connections between the Hyksos period and the rise of the Herakleopolitan dynasty, shedding light on a complex and fascinating era in Egyptian history. Ultimately, the book's insights provide a deeper understanding of ancient Egypt, challenging conventional timelines and opening up new avenues for further research. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330137680_0
