So, for instance. The Bible can't be believed, it wasn't written till the 500s, but, since Phillips is positing that there were TWO Moseses, i.e., Moses was a composite of two real people, Phillips notes that the same Bible you can't trust give two names for Moses's father-in-law. Two fathers-in-law, two Moseses. Believe the Bible, just here. Weird.
Anyway, Phillips (who can't trust the Bible or its chronology), believes implicitly in the chronology of whatever the last book of Egyptology says the chronology of Egypt was. He says one Moses was Kamose, a priest under Thutmose III, and one Moses was Prince Thutmose, elder brother of Akhenaten. Get it, KaMOSE, ThutMOSE, MOSEs.
He goes stranger, though, claiming that Edomites were an original tribe of Hebrews, that the northern kingdom of Israel's Bethel temple to Baal/calf god was the real, original religion of Moses and the Hebrews and was actually at Petra in Edom. Oh, and Bethel is Mt. Sinai. Oh, and the original religion was just the Kabbalah. And God is a moon god sun god hermaphrodite snake god calf god of some sort. And "Yahweh" just means "my Lord" and Baal "Lord" so they were one and the same.... And, believe him because he has a copy of the Book of Jasher published in 1995 in Philadelphia (listed in his notes, but not in his bibliography!). A book NOBODY else has. No library, no Library of Congress, nobody. From a professor nobody's ever heard of. Oh, and, I tracked down the quotes from this Book of Jasher. It's from a book commonly called "Pseudo-Jasher," attributed to Alcuin, but really printed in 1750 and a forgery by one Jacob Ilive. It's Pseudo-Jasher with, interestingly enough, just the additions Phillips needs to "prove" his theories. It calls Edom a tribe, seems to place Mt. Sinai/Bethel at Petra, etc.
What a sad pseudo-historical work. I had seen Phillips in television documentaries and thought him interesting, if unconventional. Having finally read a work by him I find him unconvincing and shady.… (altro)
