Ralph Ellis

The argument

Six pages

Six short pages, in the order of the books. Each one leads on to the volumes, the lectures and the sources where the case is set out.

  1. I

    The Hyksos and Avaris

    Josephus already joined the Israelites to the Hyksos. On that reading, their expulsion from Avaris in the sixteenth century BC is the Exodus.

  2. II

    The king of Edessa

    The gospel king is placed as King Izas of Edessa, in the Jewish Revolt of the sixties, rather than as a carpenter of the thirties.

  3. III

    Saul and Josephus

    Saul, called Paul, is identified with the historian Flavius Josephus, so the gospel family can be set beside the histories.

  4. IV

    Arthur

    After the Revolt, the king is sent into exile in Britain and remembered there as Arthur.

  5. V

    The ice ages

    With Michael Palmer, in a 2016 paper in Geoscience Frontiers, dusty ice sheets rather than carbon dioxide are proposed as the main control on the ice ages.

  6. VI

    How the argument is made

    Each book takes a person in scripture, moves that person onto a known event, and argues they are the same individual.
