ALVA, Okla., April 1, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Knowledge is power and no matter what, we must never give up solving mysteries and uncovering secrets behind world history. An engaging look at significant events and varied cultures recorded in Jewish history is all set to begin as Xlibris releases The Egyptians. The Persians. The Greeks. The Romans. And The Jews Too., the new book authored by Harry James Waterman, Sr.
The Egyptians. The Persians. The Greeks. The Romans. And The Jews Too. brings to readers a detailed synopsis of Jewish history from King Solomon's first year, 810 B.C., to the destruction of Jerusalem in 73 A.D. as recorded in the King James Version of the Holy Bible. Correlating the information found in the Holy Bible and the works of ancient Greek authors, the author generated a Creation Chronology that dates historical events via five different systems: AD/BC; AUC; AM; SE; and, the Olympiads. This system establishes the nations Israel conquered in the chronicle of world history, especially during an era known as the Diaspora, seventy years between 402 B.C. and 332 B.C.
This book brings to light a new concept about the number of kings who ruled Judah and the events that transpired in the Promised Land during those seventy years. It also unravels the mystery of why the ancient Jews were not mentioned in the works of the ancient Greek historians and at the same time it correlates all the ancient histories registered by Herodotus and brings into focus the role Alexander the Great took in Jewish history.
Richly-layered and detailed, The Egyptians. The Persians. The Greeks. The Romans. And The Jews Too. is highly recommended to history enthusiasts, researchers and common readers alike. To order a copy of this gripping read, be sure to visit your local bookstore or shop online at Xlibris.com today.
