This is an ad hominem against Velikovsky. Rohl was linked to Velikovsky for
the reason that these people and the others I mentioned advocate
revisionist chronologies. In fact, Rohl uses Velikovsky's basic ideas and
methods. Give Velikovsky a little credit.
If Dave disagrees with this analysis, hopefully he will do better than say
shamefacedly, "you're wrong!!" as he has done in the past. Facts are hard
to find in his posts.
