HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: A CONTROVERSIAL RECONSTRUCTION OF THE ANCIENT WORLD.
Immanuel Velikovsky became one of the twentieth century's best-known proponents of radically revised ancient chronologies. His Ages in Chaos project sought to reconcile Egyptian, biblical, and classical historical traditions by substantially rearranging the accepted chronology of the ancient Near East.
A RADICAL CHRONOLOGY OF THE ANCIENT WORLD:
Peoples of the Sea applies this approach to Egyptian history and the upheavals traditionally associated with the Sea Peoples. Velikovsky's chronological theories were rejected by mainstream historians and archaeologists, but his books attracted a substantial readership and became influential within alternative history and chronological revisionism.
