Velikovsky's controversial reconstruction of ancient history examines the Persian domination of Egypt and the conquest by Alexander. ... The following is from the back cover - The significance of the reconstruction of chronology in this book is shown by Velikovsky's own words: "We can stop here, perplexed by the evidently inadmissible thought that there could be a mistake of 800 years, or frightened at the sight of the perturbation into which this inquiry may lead us. But should we not make up our minds to try to probe a little further, and may we not perchance feel relieved if some new evidence should exonerate the centuries-old concept of ancient history? For this must be clearly understood: we cannot let Ramses III fight with the Persians and keep the hinges of world history in their former places. What a slide, what an avalanche must accompany such a disclosure: kingdoms must topple, empires must glide over centuries, descendants and ancestors must change places. And in addition to all this, how many books must become obsolete, how many scholarly pursuits must be restarted, how much inertia must be overcome? It is not merely an avalanche but a complete overturning of supposedly everlasting massifs. "Now that the reader appreciates the consequences implied by the identification of the Pereset with the Persians, we invite him to follow closely the further evidence in order not to be persuaded of what is unproven, or guided to what is but an illusory picture of the past."
