Written for people of all levels of ability, it is ideal for students because it makes accessible material that is not normally compiled in one place.

Chronology at the Crossroads is a pioneering study of the chronology of Western Asia in the Late Bronze Age. Written for people of all levels of ability, it is ideal for students because it makes accessible material that is not normally compiled in one place. Making different chronological assumptions from previous studies, a much more complex political set-up is adduced. In the process, many other important issues are discussed. These include Assyrian chronometers; scientific dating methods; forms of kingship; non-canonical rulers; modern revisions of Hittite chronology and history; the archaeology of Hanigalbat; parallels found elsewhere in the ancient Near East; and the testimony of the discordant witness. Often neglected, chronology is fundamental to our understanding of ancient history. With this work it should once again take centre stage.

Bernard Newgrosh calls David Rohl his mentor and like David Rohl presents his case for a chronological adjustment to the ancient Near East in the 1300-860 B.C. range. His argument is basically orthodox chronology minus 377 years. I charted out his proposed chronology including Ugarit and Amurru which he did not give and added dates (using the same criteria) for Elam which is mentioned but without dates. Even extending forward using the criteria David Rohl used, there is just too much historical information to cram into the remaining time. His case is excellently presented and is worth reading. He is thorough and convincing. As a person who works better by visualizing the information, once I could see it graphically extended, I just could not agree with it. I did like his book though.
