- Title: Pharaohs and Kings
- Date: 3rd September 1995
- Summary: Investigation into Egyptologist David Rohl's theory that history has slipped out of time by centuries. If correctly aligned, archaeological findstie in with and support the writings of the Old Testament.
- Description:In the first of a major three part series, Egyptologist David Rohl journeys back in time to examine the chronology of ancient Egypt and the lack of archaeological evidence for the early Old Testament. He explains how the chronology came about and questions it via three great stories of Egyptology - the excavations of the vast underground burial chambers of the sacred Apis Bulls at Sakkara; the hidden hoard of royal mummies near the Valley of the Kings; and the dig at the Royal Tombs of Tanis. In each there is a conundrum - the accepted dates of Egyptian history do not make sense. Furthermore, Egyptian dating is based on a date derived from the Bible: Rohl dismantles this key link. He concludes that a new framework for Egyptian history must be constructed - this new chronology will open the door to exciting new links with the Bible...
