New Chronology
In 1995, Rohl published his version of the New Chronology, in the best-selling book "A Test of Time", accompanied by a 1995 Channel 4 three-part series "Pharaohs and Kings - A Biblical Quest". "A Test of Time" takes up the general scenario presented by James, adding many details omitted in 1991, including the "dramatic results" pertaining to Biblical chronology. Whilst the New Chronology has not been broadly accepted in academia, it has been widely disseminated to the public since the 1990s via Rohl's best-selling books and the 1995 Channel 4 television documentary, aired in the United States in 1996 on The Learning Channel. Berthoud (2008) contrasts the "near-unanimous" rejection of Rohl's theories in Egyptology with the "sensational effect" his books, combined with the television series, had on the general public.
