David Rohl holds a University College London degree in Egyptology and Ancient History, and has excavated at Kadesh-on-the-Orontes with the expedition of the Institute of Archaeology. He was a writer and presenter of the internationally acclaimed television documentary series ‘Pharaohs and Kings: A Biblical Quest.”
“When it comes to exploring, David Rohl makes Indiana Jones look like an under-achiever. …Rohl is Britain’s highest profile Egyptologist.” -- Daily Express
This is Old Testament history from a 21st century historian?s perspective. A story of real people and real events told in its proper historical setting.
The earliest part of the Bible is recognized as the foundation-stone of three great religions -- Judaism, Christianity and Islam -- yet over the last century, archaeologists and historians have signally failed to find any evidence to confirm the events described in the ?book of books? prior to the 9th century BC. As a consequence, many scholars took the view that the Old Testament was little more than a work of fiction.
David Rohl builds on his ?New Chronology? theory -- which proposes that modern day researchers have constructed an artificially long chronology for the ancient world, creating a false timeline which has dislocated Old Testament events from their true chronological settings.
From Eden to Exile is the epic tale of the Israelites and their powerful god, Yahweh, established in a genuine historical context. An analysis of ancient contemporary documents, combined with the archaeological record, reveals extra-biblical information and stories about personalities such as Enoch, Noah, Nimrod, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Saul, David and Solomon. The Bible has at last been recovered from the ruins of the past -- throwing unforeseen and fascinating new light on the world?s most treasured book.

Paperback. Condition: New. As the leading figure in New Archaeology, David Rohl has been at the forefront of the movement to discover the archaeological evidence for events described in the Old Testament which we have come to think of as myths. His previous books, Test of Time and Legend presented the arguments and counter-arguments. In From Eden to Exile this discursive approach is replaced by historical storytelling, which follows the sequence of events from the rise of Neolithic civilisation in a region now part of Iran which inspired the story of the Garden of Eden, through Noah, Abraham and the sojourn in Egypt, to the fall of Jericho, the dual kingdoms of the Promised Land and lastly, the exile in Babylon, where the stories of the Old Testament were collated into something very like their present form. A fascinating history book that will appeal to anyone with an interest in ancient history, religion and archaeology. Seller Inventory # LU-9780099415664
