Genesis of Israel and Egypt proposes a radically new view of ancient history and the forces which shaped it. Many biblical characters are associated with Egypt and scholars have always attempted to connect biblical accounts of ancient times with history as recorded in Egyptian hieroglyphics. All attempts failed and the orthodox view developed that the major characters of Hebrew tradition were actually of such minor significance that they had no place in the Egyptian accounts. Although it was recognised that many tantalising similarities existed between the two histories, no one could make them tally.
