CONTAINS DIAGRAMS OF SOLOMON'S TEMPLE, CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF HISTORICAL SOURCES, AND RE-VISITS THE CHRONOLOGIES OF MAJOR CIVILIZATIONS. KEEP AN OPEN MIND AS YOU READ THIS BOOK. YOUR VIEW OF ANCIENT HISTORY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!

The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended by Sir Isaac Newton is a groundbreaking historical work that challenges conventional views on ancient civilizations and chronology. In this book, Newton presents his meticulous research and analysis, questioning the accuracy of established historical timelines and proposing revisions based on astronomical calculations and biblical references. His unique approach to ancient history sparks a new understanding of the past and establishes him as a pioneer in the field of historical revisionism. Key Aspects of the Book The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended: Revisionist Approach to Ancient History: Newton's book challenges the prevailing narratives of ancient history by offering alternative chronologies for various kingdoms and civilizations. Drawing upon astronomical observations and biblical sources, he proposes revised timelines that differ from conventional historical accounts. Newton's meticulous research and calculations provide readers with a fresh perspective on the ancient world, encouraging them to question established beliefs and explore new avenues of historical interpretation. Astronomical Calculations and Historical Dating: A significant aspect of Newton's work is his use of astronomical calculations to determine the dates of historical events. By analyzing celestial phenomena and their alignment with historical records, Newton attempts to establish precise chronologies for ancient civilizations. His integration of astronomy and historical dating methods showcases his interdisciplinary approach and demonstrates the interconnectedness of scientific disciplines in unraveling the mysteries of the past. Controversial Findings and Impact: The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended was met with both intrigue and controversy upon its publication. Newton's revisionist views challenged established scholarly beliefs and ignited debates within academic circles. While some welcomed his contributions to historical scholarship, others criticized his methods and conclusions. Nevertheless, Newton's work paved the way for further research and inquiry into ancient chronology, leaving a lasting impact on the field of historical studies. Sir Isaac Newton, renowned for his groundbreaking contributions to physics and mathematics, also ventured into the realm of historical research with The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended. This book showcases Newton's intellectual curiosity and interdisciplinary approach, as he applies his scientific acumen to challenge established historical narratives. Newton's reputation as a brilliant scientist is further enhanced by his foray into historical revisionism, cementing his legacy as a polymath and a visionary thinker who expanded the boundaries of knowledge across multiple disciplines.

This Is A New Release Of The Original 1728 Edition.

Reveals the manner in which Newton strove for nearly half a century to rectify universal history by reading ancient texts through the lens of astronomy, and to create a tight theoretical system for interpreting the evolution of civilization on the basis of population dynamics

The book attempts to revise the accepted ancient chronology of Newton's day, in order to prove that Solomon was the earliest king in the world, and that his Temple the first ever built, with all others being copies, beginning with Sesostris, King of Egypt, followed by others. Newton's results, therefore, diverge widely from presently accepted dates, often more widely than the system that he attempted to displace.

The clash of faith and science in Napoleonic France The Dendera zodiac—an ancient bas-relief temple ceiling adorned with mysterious symbols of the stars and planets—was first discovered by the French during Napoleon's campaign in Egypt, and quickly provoked a controversy between scientists and theologians. Brought to Paris in 1821 and ultimately installed in the Louvre, where it can still be seen today, the zodiac appeared to depict the nighttime sky from a time predating the Biblical creation, and therefore cast doubt on religious truth. The Zodiac of Paris tells the story of this incredible archeological find and its unlikely role in the fierce disputes over science and faith in Napoleonic and Restoration France. The book unfolds against the turbulence of the French Revolution, Napoleon's breathtaking rise and fall, and the restoration of the Bourbons to the throne. Drawing on newspapers, journals, diaries, pamphlets, and other documentary evidence, Jed Buchwald and Diane Greco Josefowicz show how scientists and intellectuals seized upon the zodiac to discredit Christianity, and how this drew furious responses from conservatives and sparked debates about the merits of scientific calculation as a source of knowledge about the past. The ideological battles would rage until the thoroughly antireligious Jean-François Champollion unlocked the secrets of Egyptian hieroglyphs—and of the zodiac itself. Champollion would prove the religious reactionaries right, but for all the wrong reasons. The Zodiac of Paris brings Napoleonic and Restoration France vividly to life, revealing the lengths to which scientists, intellectuals, theologians, and conservatives went to use the ancient past for modern purposes.
