                            'TESTING TIME - THE NEW CHRONOLOGY IN 2009'

          It is now coming up to ten years since the New Chronology was
   brought to the world's attention through the publication of A Test of
   Time and the television broadcast of 'Pharaohs and Kings'. Of course,
   the SIS has been privy to several new developments since the early
   1980s (25 years now). During that time huge strides have been made in
   New Chronology research; ranging geographically from ancient Egypt to
   Greece, and scientifically from linguistics to radiocarbon dating.
   There have also been several attempts to undermine the pillars of the
   New Chronology by orthodox scholars, but after examination by neutral
   researchers such criticisms were found to be either spurious, or not
   the fatal blow to the new theory that orthodoxy had claimed.

         As an archaeologist, Egyptologist and ancient historian David
   has challenged those who regard Old Testament history as being of
   little real value and identifies Ramesses II of the 19^th Dynasty in
   Egypt as the `Shishak' of the Old Testament, who sacked the temple of
   Solomon. He has written many articles and books concerning what he has
   named the `New Chronology' and, over the years, has gained many
   adherents.

   `Little conclusive evidence for an historical Old Testament has come
   to light in two centuries of archaeological endeavour. Ever since
   excavations in the Lands of the Bible began at the beginning of the
   last century, biblical scholars have been systematically stripping out
   elements of the narratives - the stories of Joseph, Moses, Joshua,
   Saul, David and Solomon - and consigning them to the realms of myth
   and folklore.

   `The New Chronology developed in A Test of Time reveals the true
   historical setting of the biblical epics, providing astonishing
   archaeological evidence for the existence of the Old Testament's most
   charismatic personalities. [...........] the lives of Joseph, Moses,
   Joshua, Saul, David and Solomon are examined from an historical
   perspective, as David explores their cities, palaces and tombs. A Test
   of Time unveils such archaeological wonders as the desecrated statue
   of Joseph in his "coat of many colours", the Israelite city of bondage
   in Egypt (including graphic evidence of the plagues), and letters from
   King Saul' (Extracts from inside jacket cover of A Test of Time. The
   Bible - From Myth to History)

         David will present three lectures to outline both old and new
   evidence for the New Chronology, with all the visuals that he is
   well-known for (photographs, charts, tables and graphics). This
   all-day presentation is something not to be missed, so make sure to
   tell your friends and family.
