Information About

Donald B. Redford




Professor Redford has directed a number of important excavations in Egypt , notably at Karnak and Mendes . Along with his wife, he is the director of the Akhenaten Temple Project .

Redford has presented some controversial theories concerning The Bible And History . He argues that the experiences of the Hyksos in Egypt became a central foundation of Myth s in Canaan ite culture, leading to the story of Moses . He further notes that many of the details in the Exodus story are more consistent with the 7th Century BC , long after the time of King David , rather than the era when the event is described as having taken place. This view was expounded upon in '' The Bible Unearthed '' by Israel Finkelstein and Neil Silberman .
