Yes.

And this was written by an editor, not by Rohl...an editor interested
in selling books.

> Who said that Rohl was exclusively interested in egyptology?

Rohl did. He was surprised by the correlations he found with the
biblical material, but wasn't afraid to follow the evidence wherever it
led.
