Much emotional (but to my mind undeserved) criticism has been thrown up against a drama constructed on history 700 years prior. (Who would affirm Shakespeare's character 'Julius Caesar'was not based on history? But in Akhenaten's case history was totally 'carved out' in his own time.) <br /><br />Dr Velikovsky offers this parallel of two kings at different times, in different places as circumstantial - but there situational circumstances are too similar to be ruled out. The nature of circumstantial evidence is strengthened by accumulation and combination. (In some legal cases where the accumulated circumstances are overwhelming in their combinations, the conclusion amounts to near certainty.) I side with Velikovsky and his perceptive analysis of history. Morry Lee.Morrison Leenoreply@blogger.com
