Shows how a desecrated tomb in the Valley of the Kings holds the key to the true history of the destruction of Atlantis

• Reveals that Tomb 55 in the Valley of the Kings was designed not to keep intruders out, but to trap something inside• Provides forensic evidence proving that the mask believed to be the face of Tutankhamun is actually that of his elder brother Smenkhkare• U.S. Edition of Act of God• Includes three 8-page b&w inserts and 17 b&w illustrations

In Atlantis and the Ten Plagues of Egypt, Graham Phillips explores the excavation of a mysterious and ritually desecrated tomb in the Valley of the Kings, Tomb 55, which he contends holds the key to the true history of the destruction of Atlantis. Unlike other Egyptian tombs designed to keep intruders out, Tomb 55 was constructed to keep something imprisoned within, specifically Smenkhkare, the older brother of Tutankhamun who was deemed responsible for the ten plagues in Egyptian history, to prevent such tragedies from ever happening again. The forensic findings from this tomb coupled with compelling new evidence from the polar ice caps provide sensational evidence that the parting of the Red Sea, the deaths of the first born, and the other plagues that afflicted Egypt were all actual historical events.

Core samples from the polar ice caps indicate that a gigantic volcanic eruption took place in the eastern Mediterranean around the time of Amonhotep's reign. Other research suggests this to have been the time of the eruption that destroyed the Greek island of Thera, one of the likely locations of Atlantis, and that the subsequent cataclysm may explain the unusual lack of resistance to the new religion installed by Amonhotep's son, Akhenaten, when he took power several years later. ...

A Balanced Piece of Detective Work
Why is it that the only review to so far have been openly hostile toward Mr. Phillips and his book is chosen as the Spotlight Review, and so end up above all the others?I am an historian from England and, as far as it seems to me, this review by Grand Rapids is not only as highly speculative as the reviewer claims Mr. Phillips's book to be, but it is vehemently anti-British.There is no way this should have been chosen as the Spotlight Review for what - in my professional opinion, at least - is a well-argued and balanced piece of historical detective work.Who is doing the choosing here?

A catastrophe theory that no longer sounds so improbable.
This is a cleverly written historical detective story set against a backdrop of in-depth and scholarly research.The author finds archaeological and scientific evidence to suggest that certain seemingly unbelievable destructive events recorded in the Old Testament really occurred.To give an example, he puts together discoveries from Egyptian tombs with geological surveys of the Mediterranean seabed to show that a huge tsunami may have thrashed the Egyptian coast in the fourteenth century BCE to cause what the Bible describes as the parting of the Red Sea in which the Pharaoh's army was drowned by a gigantic wave.This event, the book suggests, could also have devastated a civilization on the island of Crete to give rise to the legend of Atlantis.Many crazy and unfounded ideas have found their way into print concerning Atlantis and biblical mysteries in recent years but this is definitely not one of those.The author critically examines the findings of accredited archaeologists, Egyptologists and scientists in developing his hypotheses which he arrives at step by logical step.Historians today tend to shy away from sensational-sounding catastrophe theories when it comes to the decline of ancient civilizations, but following the tragic events in south Asia recently this book makes one think seriously about just how devastating natural cataclysms can really be.

Egyptian history brought back to life
If you were fed up with books about Ancient Egypt and never thought you would read one again, then try this.It is a really fascinating read.In short, the theme is that Exodus plagues of the Bible were true events caused by a natural catastrophe, but there is far more here that is enlightening and engaging.The author examines the period when the Exodus appears to be set - sometime in the fourteenth century BC - and, by using the records that survive from that time, he paints a vivid picture of one of the most fascinating and little understood eras of human history: when the idea of a single god first became a part of organized religion.He also proposes answers to a number of historical enigmas, such as the identity of the real Moses and the truth behind the Atlantis legend, and introduces a new mystery of his own - that the famous facemask of Tutankhamun does not represent the king at all but his scheming brother.In my opinion, this last riddle alone makes the book well worth reading.

fact and fiction
This book is a mix of fact and fiction, but then again many books today are like that. My advice to you is be skeptical about any author that he knows the truth of a major historical event. IF any real truth is found, the media and many REAL scholars such as arecheologists and university professors will be talking about it.
There are many books that talk what really happened to Tutankamen, and his brother. Weather he really is Moses, there is simply not enough proof. maybe yes, maybe no.
After reading the Da Vinci Code, it makes one think. What really is true. Is history really fabricated by the World Elite and secretly held by Secret Societies.
Well, people certainly buy the books that says the later, if they continue to sell, publishers will keep coming out with it.
If you really want to learn the truth. Go to Egypt on a tour and see for yourself. There is nothing like personal experience. BEst of luck and happy treasure hunting!!!!!

An Egyptian blockbuster - It has to be
It begins with the opening of the strangest tomb ever found in the Valley of the Kings.A mummy whose name has been erased and its soul bound by talismans of magical protection. An ancient Egyptian who was so feared that the priesthood thought they had to imprison his spirit for all time.It all sounds like fiction - but it's not.Each detail of the find is preserved in the writings of the archaeologists who found it and can still be read today.It is remarkable that no one has brought the details of this discovery to light before.This alone would make a great movie.But it's only the beginning.

His quest to discover the identity of this mummy and the reasons for its strange and unique form of burial, leads the author to make what must be the most astonishing series of discoveries about Egyptian history that have ever been made.Moses, the plagues of Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea and the Exodus really occurred as described in the Bible.Beyond belief?Graham Phillips produces archaeological, historical and scientific evidence to prove it. This too would also make a fantastic movie in its own right.But it doesn't end there.The author discovers that these events were the result of a gigantic volcanic cataclysm that also created the legend of Atlantis.Another movie here!

Ultimately, Phillips returns to the mysterious mummy, concluding that it was the earthly remains of the man whose evil influence was deemed responsible for the catastrophe - a forgotten Egyptian king named Smenkhkare, the brother of Tutankhamun. Finally, he reveals the most incredible fact of all. The fabulous treasures found in Tut'stomb were originally intended for his brother's tomb and the death mask of Tutankhamun - probably the most famous historical artifact ever found - really bears the face of Smenkhkare - the most feared man in Egyptian history.Yet another movie!Why and how this came to be, would be giving away a nail-biting finale of this well-written, well-researched and page-turner of a book.

This book has been in publication for over a year.If it is not in pre-production for a big-budget movie by now I would be very surprised. I reckon that sometime in the next couple of years this will be a blockbuster to rival National Treasure.Remember who said it first.

Product Description
Over the last two centuries, many scholars have considered the Gospel of John off-limits for all quests for the historical Jesus. That stance, however, creates a new set of problems that need to be addressed thoughtfully. The essays in this book, reflecting the ongoing deliberations of an international group of Johannine and Jesus scholars, critically assess two primary assumptions of the prevalent view: the dehistoricization of John and the de-Johannification of Jesus. The approaches taken here are diverse, including cognitive-critical developments of Johannine memory, distinctive characteristics of the Johannine witness, new historicism, Johannine-Synoptic relations, and fresh analyses of Johannine traditional development. In addition to offering state-of-the-art reviews of Johannine studies and Jesus studies, this volume draws together an emerging consensus that sees the Gospel of John as an autonomous tradition with its own perspective, in dialogue with other traditions. Through this challenging of critical and traditional assumptions alike, new approaches to Johns age-old riddles emerge, and the ground is cleared for new and creative ways forward. The contributors are Paul Anderson; D. A. Carson; Colleen M. Conway; Paula Fredriksen; Felix Just, S.J.; Robert Kysar; Andrew Lincoln; John Painter; Sidney Palmer; Mark Allan Powell; D. Moody Smith; Tom Thatcher; Marianne Meye Thompson; Gilbert Van Belle; and Jack Verheyden. ... Read more

Product Description
For Those Who Ignore History - Throughout history there have been numerous unexpected events for which there is no plausible human explanation. These unexpected, humanly unexplained events are called miracles. Many such events are recorded in the history of military operations. Numerous military miracles were foretold many years, even centuries, in the past by prophets of Jehovah God. Fulfilled biblical prophecies are important because of the accuracy with which they have come true. There is every reason to believe that prophecies for the future will take place exactly as they were foretold. Some of these prophecies involve military miracles. The accurate fulfillment of biblical prophecy should attract the attention of historians, rulers, government officials, and skeptics.

Excellent addition to technical libary
Barbara and Kurt Aland's classic work, "The Text of the New Testament" is basic to understanding current study of the NT text. If you have the Aland's work, it forms a basis for this follow-up book. This little paperback prints several papers from a scholarly conference. It requires some background to understand, but if you have that background, the book points to some new directions. One article of particular interest points to the need to pay more attention to early patristic evidence. After all, some of them predate the other manuscript evidence by 100 years. Another article traces the history of the discipline. For those with the background, I think they'd find it educational and provocative. ... Read more

Product Description
Is there still promise in the metropolis? Can modern cities have lasting value? Drawing on a wide range of resources, including the writings of Paul, the Apocalypse, Greco-Roman literature, church history, theology, and socioeconomic theory, Dieter Georgi answers yes. Our cities can become more than human and ecological garbage dumps; they can aspire to be communities where people live in harmony with one another and their environment. In support of this lofty goal, Georgi unmasks economic and political theories and elements of Christian theology that have led to the demise of cities and then advocates a new praxis of urban theology, a concrete way of living together in the cities of today and tomorrow. With a foreword by Helmut Koester. ... Read more

Worth Reading
A quick glance at the table of contents is reason enough to peruse this book. Particular mention is Chapter 9: "Why Was Paul Killed? The Epistle to the Romans as a Document of Resistance". To look at the Epistle as a document of resistance against the Roman Empire of the first century (C.E.) allows one to see Early Christianity from a different perspective, and the difference it can make in the urban context under the present U.S. Empire. Pick it up! You won't be disappointed! ... Read more

Product Description
This work, the first of its kind, describes all the aspects of the Bible revolution in Jewish history in the last two hundred years, as well as the emergence of the new biblical culture.It describes the circumstances and processes that turned Holy Scripture into the Book of Books and into the history of the biblical period and of the people the Jewish people. It deals with the encounter of the Jews with modern biblical criticism and the archaeological research of the Ancient Near East and with contemporary archaeology.The middle section discusses the extensive involvement of educated Jews in the Bible-Babel polemic at the start of the twentieth century, which it treats as a typological event.The last section describes at length various aspects of the key status assigned to the Bible in the new Jewish culture in Europe, and particularly in modern Jewish Palestine, as a "guide to life" in education, culture and politics, as well as part of the attempt to create a new Jewish man, and as a source of inspiration for various creative arts. ...
