Peter James (historian)

Peter James (1952 - 2024) was a British author, specializing in the ancient history and archaeology of the Eastern Mediterranean region. Quotes Peter James wrote as recently as 2012, ‘scientists and archaeologists are still learning how to apply the radiocarbon method properly.’ Peter James in : Nick Collins - How Maritime Trade and the Indian Subcontinent Shaped the World (2022) Centuries of Darkness was particularly critical of modern Egyptologists. ‘Early Egyptologists were usually more tentative about their chronology, continually revising their opinions in the light of fresh evidence. Sadly the study of Egyptian chronology seems to have become so ossified that it cannot question its fundamental assumptions, accepted more for familiarity than for any basis in fact.’ Centuries of Darkness quoted in : Nick Collins - How Maritime Trade and the Indian Subcontinent Shaped the World (2022) External links Category:1952 births Category:2024 deaths Category:Historians from the United Kingdom Category:Non-fiction authors from the United Kingdom Category:University of Birmingham alumni
