Page "Ages in Chaos" Paragraph 8

In the last two years of his life Velikovsky published a further two volumes of the series.

In Peoples of the Sea he dealt with the final period of his reconstruction, the Persian invasions of Egypt.

Manetho's 20th dynasty here becomes identified with the dynasties which ruled a newly independent Egypt in the early 4th century BCE, and Nectanebo I is a ghost double of Rameses III.

Rameses III fought invasions by the Sea Peoples, including the " Peleset ", conventionally identified with the Philistines.

According to Velikovsky, the " Peleset " are actually the Persians and the other Sea Peoples are their Greek mercenaries.

The 21st dynasty then becomes a line of priest-kings who ruled in the oases simultaneously with the Persians.
