520    Isaac Newton's Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended, 
       published in 1728, one year after the great man's death, 
       unleashed a storm of controversy. And for good reason. The
       book presents a drastically revised timeline for ancient 
       civilizations, contracting Greek history by five hundred 
       years and Egypt's by a millennium. Newton and the Origin 
       of Civilization tells the story of how one of the most 
       celebrated figures in the history of mathematics, optics, 
       and mechanics came to apply his unique ways of thinking to
       problems of history, theology, and mythology, and of how 
       his radical ideas produced an uproar that reverberated in 
       Europe's learned circles throughout the eighteenth century
       and beyond.
