Rohl is one of these bible is true merchants who wrote a book called "A
Test of Time" which Peter has uncritically been putting forward as serious
historical research. The book asserts a revisionist chronology of ANE
history, moving Ramses II from the 13th century down to the tenth. The
motivation is to   give support to historically difficult passages of the
bible. To do so he claims to falsify all the ANE datings for several
centuries.
