I'm sure there were reviews critical of the scholarship (or possibly shrieks of hilarity) if it's supposed to be a nonfiction book. But the idea that a group of monastic warriors who shunned women, believed in a triune deity and were established to protect pilgrims are supposed to be the direct spiritual descendants of a god-king (of known parentage) who set himself up as the son of a deity and sole intercessor with a supreme deity, who had many wives and children, who was a failure as administrator and didn't protect anyone coming into or going out of his realm is a pretty far stretch.

Not to mention the problem of explaining Ahkenaten's tomb in Egypt, far away from the burial place of Moses (and of course the timeframe and a lot of other things.)
