About the book:
Amid the continuing raging debate over the origins of Western civilization, Planet of the Greeks interjects some vital new perspectives into this ever-expanding controversy. The author inaugurates a brand new era of archaeological detective work characterized by an uncommonly daring, and breathtakingly multi-disciplinarian, approach to ancient history. Inspired by the epoch-making revision of ancient history presented in Dr Immanuel Velikovsky’s “Ages in Chaos” book series, Planet of the Greeks’ main thesis is that the accepted chronological framework for the history of the ancient world is gravely flawed and that a revised model must be offered.

This very revision has lead the author to venture into the mine fields of several disciplines; mainly Egyptology, the classics and biblical archaeology. Through a simultaneous and exhaustive analysis of various ancient sacred texts such as the Old Testament, the extant textual records of ancient Egypt, and the accounts of the classical Greek chroniclers, some striking parallels are discovered which shed some surprising and truly revolutionary light on how and when things happened in the ancient world. The stunning conclusions drawn from these unexpected discoveries demand nothing less than a complete overhaul of everything we thought we knew about the ancients’ world view, theology, cultures, historiography, and scientific knowledge.

The modern scholarly enterprise has greatly been influenced by the Post-Socratic legacy of ancient Greece. Known from the 19th century as the dawning of the “Axial Age”, the middle of the first millennium B.C. has supposedly ushered in an era whence the “rational” or “modern” mode of scientific inquiry had, throughout much of the ancient world, at last replaced the more “primitive” and “pre-logical” belief of the ancients in the cyclical flow of nature and history. The angry planetary gods had been replaced by the uniformitarian, or orderly, understanding of the cosmos. The author convincingly argues that, with Western civilization’s attempts to discredit Pre-Socratic literature as viable scientific sources (such as Herodotus or Diodorus of Sicily’s beliefs in the Egypto-Phoenician origins of Greek civilization, the biblical narratives, or the ancient Chinese’s belief in the periodic degeneration of the natural order), modern scholarship has been led astray for millennia.

By boldly reordering the course of pharaonic history and, by extension, altering the entire history of the ancient world, Planet of the Greeks opens a Pandora’s box which will not soon be closed. This explosive mixture of chronological revisionism, catastrophism, Afrocentricity, religious heresy and overall revolutionary scholarship is sure to shake the very foundations of normal science.
