From the dust jacket: "Taking for the starting point the simultaneity of physical catastrophes described in the book of Exodus and in Egyptian documents, Dr. Velikovsky reconstructs the political and cultural histories of the nations of the ancient world. His reconstruction places before the reader this question -- Are six hundred years missing in Israel's history, or have six hundred ghost years crept into Egyptian history?' Documents are collated for each generation over twelve hundred years, and the intriguing march over centuries presents itself as an exciting and fact-filled hunt after the error which caused the histories of the ancient world to become 'ages in chaos,' with happenings that never took place, kings that never reigned, and battles that were never fought."
