the hidden Links Between genesis chronology and Egyptian History

The Book of Genesis  contains a 2,300-year chronology of Patriarchal births and deaths, from Adam to Joseph. Most biblical scholars believe the lists were fictional creations but Gary Greenberg, the provocative author of The Moses Mystery, says the birth and death dates contain a disguised but accurate chronology of Egypt’s dynastic history.

Based on a deep and thorough examination of the many problems in establishing an accurate Egyptian chronology, Greenberg makes a compelling case that an alignment of the Genesis birth-death chronology with the High Egyptian Chronology favored by many Egyptologists demonstrates  a precise one-to-one relationship between most Genesis birth and death dates and the starting years for Egypt’s first eighteen dynasties and many of its most important kings.

Some of the surprising discoveries in Genesis Chronology and Egyptian King-lists

The patriarch Enoch lived 365 years, a puzzling solar reference from a lunar calendar culture. What very important astronomical and chronological event (utilized by Egyptologists) happened in the year he died?

The patriarch Methuselah lived for 969 years, the longest-lived person in the bible. What important Egyptian political period lasted 969 years and ended in the year Methuselah died?

The patriarch Eber’s birth and death dates coincide with the same years in which two of Egypt’s most important and celebrated political events occurred. Find out what they were.

The patriarch Peleg’s name means “divided.” What division occurred in Egypt in the year Peleg died? Which important Egyptian king ascended to the throne in the year Peleg was born?

The patriarch Joseph guided the Pharaoh to unprecedented political power in Egypt. What is the chronological and political correlation between Joseph’s rise to power and the Thutmosid kings?

Some Review Excerpts

a keen eye for the ways religious and political motives have shaped the story of Jesus' arrest and execution . . . Greenberg presses important historical questions and rightly insists on fresh con­sideration of the evidence, particularly in view of centuries of Christian hostility toward Jewish people and religion that found inspiration in the Gospel accounts of the passion."--Catholic Biblical Quarterly

“This study is a judicious investigation seeking to shed light on some dark corners of the crucifixion narratives in early Christian sources. The Judas Brief should be required reading for both Christians and Jews, as both communities have much to gain from reflecting on this crucial topic.” — Robert R. Stieglitz, Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations, Rutgers University

The book is very accessible in terms of the manner in which it reads and is well-argued, reflecting a revisionary examination of the ancient literature. It deals head-on with many of the problems that have troubled scholars for years, including the difficult and inconsistent stories of Judas Iscariot, the involvement of Jewish authorities in Jesus' death, and the increasing tendency of the gospel authors to find ways to exonerate Pilate. __ April deConick, Rice University

"vigorous defense of the Palestinian Jews of Jesus' time . . . This well-documented work . . . presents some interesting history and is clearly written." — LJXpress (online supplement to Library Journal.)

  Book review excerpts for
King David Versus Israel


"Placing these texts into their historical, political, and geographical setting, Greenberg is able to separate much historical fact from biblical fiction … The work contains maps, timelines, glossaries, and comparison text, making it a comprehensive account of King David." - Library Journal

"I heartily recommend this substantial volume . . . [It] is a worthy addition to the library of first-rate and challenging books on [King] David" - Dr. David Noel Freedman, Editor-in-Chief of the Anchor Bible Project

"Gary Greenberg will make you think. He might even make you angry." - Green Bay Press-Gazette

"[Greenberg] offers compelling new evidence that changes our perceptions -- turns David, in essence, from a mythological figure into a living, breathing human being." - Bookloons.com

The Werewolf of Wall Street


A political satire expressed in the form of a horror story. . . Some of their ideas really are clever. Their secretive master villain's ultimate secret really is ingeniously chosen. - Prometheus, Newsletter of
the Libertarian Futurist Society


I was up most of the night reading The Werewolf of Wall Street. Gary Greenberg and Jerome Tuccille are marvelous storytellers. I had to know how the book would end, and, somehow I utterly suspended disbelief.  Barbara Branden, author of The Passion of Ayn Rand.
