Roberts Scott Alan - The Exodus Reality: Unearthing the Real History of Moses, Identifying the Pharaohs, and Examining the Exodus from Egypt

For the professional historian, the academic and the layman alike, this book is a roller-coaster of a read which expands upon old theories and ideas, illuminates many dark corners, and throws powerful light on brand new possibilities which question previous and current understanding of the Exodus and the figure of Moses. I was intrigued not only by the incredible depth of knowledge and investigation which has contributed to this fine publication, but also found the theories of Dr. John Ward and Scott Alan Roberts absolutely acceptable explanations of some of the more elusive or misunderstood interpretations of this most important period of Biblical history. This book has confirmed some of my own theories and greatly expanded my own knowledge of the subject.

In looking back on the riddles of our ancient past, we are often faced with a number of challenges in our future. One of the greatest among those challenges we face today is finding common ground in a world culture of growing diversity, both intellectually, and otherwise. But at the forefront of the mystery, John Ward and Scott Roberts have managed to pool their ideasand their differenceson this enduring subject, and are looking to the ancient riddle of Moses and the Exodus with modern clarity that will likely prove to be unmatched for decades to come.

Few Old Testament individuals have attracted so much attention as has Moses; a wise and courageous leader who freed his people, fled Egypt and founded a new home in Judaea where he established a temple and religious cult. Still today he is regarded a prophet, a religious leader and a lawmaker, and has since ancient times been the face of the Jewish people. Biblical archaeologists and historians tend to place his Egyptian upbringing in the house of Ramses the Great, a time of grandeur and war; an interpretation that still captures the breath of children as they watch Walt Disneys Prince of Egypt. However, J. Ward and S. Roberts now present two groundbreaking new theories that question previous assumptions and present two alternative historical figures and cataclysmic events that may well have inspired the myth and legend that for us are known as Moses and the Exodus.

The constant battle to correlate the Bible with known archaeology continues. If only the ancient writers had mentioned names more oftenwhich Pharaoh? What date?an entire branch of Egyptology would never have come into being. Scotty and John have attempted to give us some answers, and their book works on the principle that if you gather three archaeologists in a room, you will get at least four theories. So, interestingly, their book puts forward two different theories for you to grapple with. The authors contribution to the scholarly debate is unusual, to say the least, but one that should have academic debate ragingwhich is their aim. Which of their theories is the best researched? Which has the best argument or the best historical fit? Or will you find yourself accepting neither? These are the questions that will keep your mind racing. Students of archaeology could benefit from noting that there is never one theory that fits all. Itll be their job to sift and analyze.

Through all my years of working with Lucasfilm, I have had the unique pleasure of spending a great deal of time on the sets and interviewing the casts of both the Star Wars and Indiana Jones filmsyet I would trade those experiences in a heartbeat to have taken the journey Scott Alan Roberts and Dr. John Ward took on their discovery and exploration of the historical Moses and the Exodus. Their travels and research into the subject matter is worthy of Indiana Jones himself! Looking at their theories with an open mind, I could not put this book down! As a passionate enthusiast and reader of history, myth and faith exploring the truth of where these all might fit together in the story of Moses and the events surrounding the Exodus is why I enthusiastically recommend reading The Exodus Reality!

I dedicate this book to my children, Bryony, Callum, and Josephine. Despite the distance you are always in my thoughts. To my beloved Maria. Without her support and guidance, this book would never have manifested. And last, to Scotty and Hapu, with whom I have shared a journey that only a handful of people can say they have experienced.

Dr. John Ward

For my children, Abby, Bryn, Samuel, Flynn, and Rhowan Claire. May the Prince of Egypt always be a reality in your lives.

Scott Alan Roberts

After living in Egypt for so many years the list of scholars, academics, independent researchers, and laymen with whom I have met and debated is endless; so many have crossed the pathways of this miraculous adventure that my list would be pages of never-ending names and titles (not that this would be a bad thing).

I sometimes laugh when I watch the Oscars and listen to the actors and actresses who stand there and thank everyone from their cat to their God, or their god to their Cat, depending on their religious belief and political correctness. But who are they really thanking?

Of course it goes without saying that I begin my thank-you list with my soul partner and muse, Dr. Maria Nilsson. Without her guidance, enthusiasm, and motivation, I would never have undertaken so many wondrous and amazing adventures: from the sunken palaces of ancient Alexandria, to the vast sand dunes and lost cities in the Saharan deserts of Egypt, to the lost and forgotten tombs of those that sought eternity in the afterlife, to the crumbling ruins of the sacred temples of our ancient ancestors, and last but not least, the massive and megalithic quarries of Gebel el Silsila, where we are confronted by the very stone that now resides in these ancient towns. All of these events have imprinted upon me knowledge and an understanding that one cannot appreciate by merely reading a book or watching a documentary, and it is this very raw awareness that I hope to translate upon these pages for you. But most importantly I must thank Maria for her patience as I undertook this journey, something that one day I hope to repay.
