Damien<\/strong> M<\/strong>ackey (1950- ) <\/strong>is an Australian writer who has written extensively on religious and historical matters. In April 2016, he devoted a blog(a)<\/sup> to the subject of Atlantis and its possible historical underpinnings, as well as cultural borrowings from Old Testament sources. In this regard, he echoes the views of J.D. Brady<\/a> in comparing Plato’s Atlantis with Tyrus in the Bible’s Book of Ezekiel<\/em>. He has also challenged(c)<\/sup> the chronology presented in Ahmed Osman’s Out of Egypt<\/em> [1744<\/a>]<\/sup>.<\/p>\r\n

Mackey has also proposed(e)<\/sup> “that the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, Jacob,<\/em>\u00a0Joseph, and Moses, span the en<\/em>tire period of Egyptian history from the very first king of the<\/em>\u00a0First Dynasty of the Old Kingdom (a<\/em>s we have already learned) to, in the case of Moses, <\/em>the last king (actually a woman) of the so-called Middle Kingdom.”<\/em><\/p>\r\n

His MA thesis which concerned The Sothic Star Theory of the Egyptian Calendar<\/em>(d)<\/sup> is available online.<\/p>\r\n

Mackey has also supported the identification of the biblical Amalekites<\/a> with the Hyksos<\/a>(f)<\/sup> noting that “Dr. I. <\/em>Velikovsky<\/em><\/a>\u2019s identification of the Hyksos conquerors of Egypt with the biblical Amalekites has been widely accepted by revisionists \u2013 even those who have since rejected his\u00a0<\/em>Ages in Chaos.”<\/em><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0<\/em>David Rohl<\/em><\/a>, whose own biblico-historical revision is some centuries apart from Velikovsky\u2019s, had nonetheless accepted the latter\u2019s identification of the Hyksos conquerors of Egypt with the Amalekites of the Book of Exodus (Pharaohs and<\/em> Kings: A Biblical Quest<\/em>,<\/em> 1997).”<\/em><\/p>\r\n

Mackey has written a number of papers aimed at synchronising Egyptian and biblical chronologies(g)<\/sup>, some of which are available on the academia.edu website(h)<\/sup>.<\/p>\r\n

Additionally, he suggests that <\/span>Solon<\/span><\/a> could be identified with biblical Solomon<\/span>(b)<\/sup><\/span>!<\/span><\/p>\r\n
