His previous books,\u003ci\u003e Test of Time\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLegend\u003c\/i\u003e presented the arguments and counter-arguments. In \u003ci\u003eFrom Eden to Exile\u003c\/i\u003e this discursive approach is replaced by historical storytelling, which follows the sequence of events from the rise of Neolithic civilisation in a region now part of Iran which inspired the story of the Garden of Eden, through Noah, Abraham and the sojourn in Egypt, to the fall of  Jericho, the dual kingdoms of the Promised Land and lastly, the exile in Babylon, where the stories of the Old Testament were collated into something very like their present form. A fascinating history book that will appeal to anyone with an interest in ancient history, religion and archaeology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Rohl's real achievement is the way in which he pieces the evidence together in a coherent, properly magnificent story, the first of all stories, for the first time * Sunday Times *\u003cbr\u003eWhen it comes to exploring, David Rohl makes Indiana Jones look like an under-achiever ...
