Classicists, please read
I'd like you guys and gals to read The Hebrew Pharaohs of Egypt and dissemble the author's arguments, Ahmed Osman.

So I'm curious as to how you heard about this book and decided to read it? Did you know it was originally published in 1987 under the title "Stranger in the Valley of Kings"?

It was one I had heard about and decided to try it out, when I was doing my weekly run to Barnes and Nobles.

Anyway, I have just read the first chapter so I have some more reading to do before I have anything to say. |

But, I do like how he rejects or at least undermines many of the claims of the Hyksos. Whether his theories are valid may be in question, but his challenges to existing theories sound more plausible.
