... Pharaoh Necho will find no counterpart in Egyptian history. Reference to a pharaoh by the name of Necho and to his campaigns was sought among the Egyptian inscriptions, but Egyptian archaeology could not supply the story of the war.

... assume that he actually rediscovered this, that it had been known some thousand years previously, and that on it the Archaic age based its long-range computation of time. Modern archaeological scholars have been singularly obtuse about the idea because they have cultivated a pristine ignorance of astronomical thought, some of them actually ignorant of the Precession itself. The split ... In tradition, not one but three floods are registered, one being the biblical flood, equivalents of which are mentioned in Sumerian and Babylonian annals.

Invading troops, volcanos known to exist, and hurricanes acting by themselves are inadequate hypotheses.

Once again, the lack of data frustrates theoretical reconstruction ...

... that, according to Sigmund Freud, a frequently repeated dream may have to a traumatic past event in the life of an individual? 58 As Robin Osborne sees it, archaeology seems to show that Mycenean civilization passed with a bang and a whimper, 59 with vast destruction followed by abrupt decline and then complete disappearance. 60 Perhaps Homer, ... due to the need to fill the "Dark Age." 35.
