Ramses II and His Time (Ages of Chaos)

This book settles many problems of historical magnitude. Who were the enigmatic Hittites? Who was Pharaoh Necho, the opponent of Nebuchadnezzar at the battle of Carchemish? Where did the battle of Kadesh take place? When was King Ahiram entombed at Byblos- in the thirteenth century, as many historians claim, or in the seventh century, as others claim? Ramses II and His Time is a kind of detective story, in which the personae are real historical figures.
