Gerard Gertoux (born on March 19, 1955 in Lyon) is a French chronologist,[1][2] historian and researcher in the field of Near Eastern archaeology[3] and Ancient History,[4] particularly Egyptian,[5] Assyrian,[6] Jewish, and research on the Tetragrammaton.[7]
Gertoux argued that one of the several ancient vocalizations of the Tetragrammaton was Yehowah,[8] just as Thomas Römer has proposed 'Yahô' or 'Yahû,[9] F. C. Burkitt for Yaho or Yeho,[10] Max Reisel for YeHūàH or YaHūàH,[11] etc. contra the mainstream consensus that it was only Yahweh.[12][13] Gertoux's astronomical synchronization into their chronologies of ancient history have offered new conclusions.[14][15]
- ^ Finch 2023, p. 638: "Fortunately, thanks to one honest chronological researcher, Gérard Gertoux, his research completely dovetails with the conclusion of the present author had already determined. Indeed, he has persented an excellent testimony from other notable ancient historians that Carthage was indeed founded exactly where the Bible places it, right around the year of 870 BCE."
- ^ Pretorius 2022, p. 42: "Gertoux, who compiled a credible chronology of Jesus's life, also places his baptism in AD29, although he calculated that Jesus was baptized during August."

- ^ O'Connell 2022: "Gérard Gertoux (1955–) is a French academic who is best known for his book The name of God Y.eH.oW.aH. However, most of his prodigious output is concerned with ancient chronology."

- ^ Kurian & Lamport 2016, p. 2003: "Against the consensus that God's name was ponounced 'Yahweh', Gérard Gertoux has defended 'Yehowah' (i.e., Jehovah)."
- ^ Hunger 2015: "I have read the manuscript "Basic astronomy for historians to get a chronology" of Gerard Gertoux and found it a well-informed and informative introduction to this complicated subject. It clearly explains what is required from a historian who wants to establish the chronology of historical events. The author shows by examples how different chronologies can be evaluated or refuted. He also explains the astronomical phenomena that can be used for dating events, and the pitfalls in using ancient calendars. For some cases, he offers new conclusions or refutes chronologies proposed by other scholars. The manuscript forces the reader to be very attentive, but this attention is well worth it".
