David Rohl – best-selling author and historian – is recognized as one of Egyptology’s most powerful communicators. Here, in this two disc set, Rohl sets out to challenge the current consensus amongst academics that the Bible is predominantly a work of fiction. His obvious mastery of the subject in this four-hour presentation clarifies why evidence for the early history in the Bible has previously been missed.
Rohl begins by setting up the controversy and then begins to present his arguments for the proper historical setting for Joseph and the early Israelites. He goes on to reveal evidence for the time of Moses, the Exodus and the Conquest. Rohl ends with the time of Israel’s kings Saul, David and Solomon. Were the early Israelites really Canaanites as many academics say? Was Ramesses the pharaoh of the Exodus? Did Solomon really rule over a rich and glorious empire? David Rohl’s thought-provoking lectures confront the status quo with compelling evidence for the veracity of the Old Testament narratives.

Very Well Done! David Rohl’s a Fantastic Presenter
"Very much enjoyed these lectures. David Rohl is a fantastic lecturer and you can tell he knows a very great deal about Egyptology and archaeology in general. His views are controversial yet plausible, with some still waiting to be verified by future excavations. He agrees with Kenneth Kitchen on the site of the Red Sea crossing, which is at odds with the conclusions drawn by Patterns of Evidence. But he comes across as fair-minded and open to correction if he is wrong. He certainly is gifted at taking complex subject material and making it accessible to lay people such as myself. Overall very well done."

Very thorough in his explanations.
"Very thorough in his explanations. Power point graphics are very helpful. His argumentation is persuasive and necessary to get a more complete understanding of the debate surrounding the dating and timing of the Exodus, crossing of the Sea, location of Mt. Sinai etc. Tho technical in some points this lecture set is valuable for the novice who needs to come up to speed re the details of timeline of Egyptian chronology/New Chronology."

Brilliant
"I never write reviews but these lectures are so good i just had to. I would give 6 stars if it was possible! Incredibly thorough documentation, reasoned argument and evidence for everything he proposes, delivered with an engaging style, and so compelling i had a hard time not binging on the entire thing. Definitely stayed up too late a couple of nights after saying "let's watch for a half hour." I was so glad to see David Rohl in the Patterns of Evidence movies after reading his book Pharaohs and Kings probably twemty tears ago, and these lectures are a much deeper dive into that material. The detailed correlation of biblical details with extrabiblical sources totally supports the truth of the historical narrative found in God's word, and reinforces one's fairh in it as a reliable historical record insread of the depressing "bible is a myth"view pervading orthodox academia, that has deceived too many believers into doubting the basis of their faith. The broader context for the biblical events is fascinating and brings the characters to life in a remarkable way. From a technical production quality perspective, it's very good and you can see the slides easily the way they are inserted so you don't miss anything the live audience sees. David Rohl is a treasure. Just buy these DVDs and you will be glad you did. Definitely something to watch multiple times."

The evidence for a dating revision
"I would recommend these DVDs for the clarity and depth of the evidence given by David Rohl. I must add that his standpoint of agnosticism intrigues me. Customers in the UK need to be warned that the Royal Mail will demand a Customs Charge, which was even more than the US shipping charge. By the end I reckoned it was worth it."
