Velikovsky Immanuel. Ages in Chaos

Великовский Иммануил. Века в хаосе.
Doubleday. 1952. - 408 c. На английском языке. (Отсканированный PDF).This is a book by the controversial writer Immanuel Velikovsky, first published by Doubleday in 1952, which put forward a major revision of the history of the Ancient Near East, claiming that the histories of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Israel are five centuries out of step. He followed this with a number of other works where he attempted to complete his reconstruction of
ancient history, collectively known as the Ages in Chaos series.Velikovsky's work has been harshly criticised, including even by some fellow chronological revisionists. Velikovsky had put forward his ideas briefly in Theses for the Reconstruction of Ancient History in 1945, where he claimed that the history of the ancient Near East down to the time of Alexander the Great is garbled, but Ages in Chaos was his first full-length work on the subject. His starting point for the first volume of the series was that the Exodus took place not, as orthodoxy has it, at some point during the Egyptian New Kingdom, but at the fall of the Middle Kingdom.
