Dr. Aidan Dodson BA (Liverpool), MPhil, PhD (Cantab), Visiting Fellow in Archaeology, University of Bristol UK. An excellent and well-written analysis that makes a valuable contribution to the study of Egyptian chronology and king-lists. Greenberg shows that Manetho originally had a highly accurate record of Egyptian chronology but that it was severely altered in the course of transmission. Of particular interest is his reconstruction of Manethos original Twelfth Dynasty and Second Intermediate Period chronologies and his demonstration that Manethos chronology paralleled that of the Turin Canon far more often than previously recognized.
