Description

The Dark Age of Greece is the latest entry in the Ages in Chaos series first put forth by the late Immanuel Velikovsky in 1952; and is one more key brick in the reconstruction of ancient history proposed by him beginning with the termination of Egypt's Middle Kingdom and the many centuries that followed whose dated credibility he challenged. The fundamental thesis of this current book is that there was no true Dark Age, but resulted from the forced capitulation on the part of Classicists and others to the overriding influence of ancient Egyptian chronology. The specific outcome of the preceding was the creation of an inexplicable 500-year lacuna, ca. 1250-750 BC, between the end of the Mycenaean Age and the rise of Classical Greece. Comprising some 500 pages of text and references, The Dark Age of Greece contains contributions by Velikovsky himself and three of his associates. From a detailed and vigorous study of the Trojan War, preclassical archaeology, stratigraphy, architecture, sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, sports, warfare, language, literature, heroes, and divinities as well as comparisons with later Classical and Oriental examples of similar artifacts, the Greek Dark Age is revealed to be completely spurious. The elimination of the Greek Dark Age thereby reaffirms the need to correct Egyptian chronology which, when adjusted, now makes the history of Bronze Age Greece and that of the Anatolian Hittites completely whole and sensible.
