Cindie's Reviews > The Legacy of Moses and Akhenaten: A Jewish Perspective

This book is not for everyone. When I picked it up and said, "ooooh," I am pretty sure some eyes rolled. But I love any kind of text analysis, and, when added with some archaelogy, I am in heaven. It was academic in tone, but had a couple person anecdotes to spice it up. All the technical words were explained in sufficient fashion so I, the ultimate layman and novice, could follow it. I had never heard the theory that *****Spoiler Alert **** Moses and Akhenaten were the same person (not to mention Miriam and Nefertiti). I have no idea if this is a respected theory or another "Look we found Jesus' brother's grave" kind of thing. In any case, this book kept me engaged for its 164 pages (including appendices, which I read). Based on that, as well as my avid interest in the subject, I gave it 5 stars (Despite some annoying typos.)
