This week I will be starting a series of historical timelines that are based on my view of world history, which in turn is based on my understanding of the Bible and the chronology that it contains. Today, I am posting an outline of this version of world history. Tomorrow I will post the structure of the timelines that will follow.

1 – PREHISTORIC PERIOD (3977-665 BC)

1A – EARLY PREHISTORIC ERA– It lasted 1656 years (3977-2321 BC) and is divided into Creation Week and two ages:

1A-0 – Creation Week – It lasted seven 24-hour days in 3977 BC and ended with God’s Day of Rest.

1A-1 – Ancients’ Primordial Age = the Bibles Edenic Age – It probably lasted less than a year (3977 BC) and ended with the Adam Disturbance.

[1] The Akkadian Empire was founded by Ukusi (Cush of the Bible) c.2298. It started in Mesopotamia and then, during the reign of Sargon, his son Mannis-tusu (also known as Menes), extended its control into the Indus Valley, then Egypt, and finally as far as the British Isles. It suffered a fatal blow from the Terah Disturbance, which destroyed the Tower of Babel and devastated Babylon and its surrounding region. The dynasty’s decline ended c. 1958 BC. Originally, I dated the Terah Disturbance to 2070 BC, but now would probably choose 2020 BC, 50 years later, roughly at the time that Sharguni’s reign ended and there was a break in the dynasty’s rule. That would alter the dates of the Ancients’ Middle Silver Period to 2221-2020 BC and the Late Silver Period to 2020-1870 BC.

[2] This was the time of the Greek exploits (the Labors of Herakles (c.855 BC), the Slaying of the Minotaur (c.850 BC), the Voyage of the Argo (845 BC), the 1st Theban War (832-831 BC),the  2nd Theban War (821-820 BC), the Trojan Wat (812-802 BC), the Voyage of Odysseus (800-790 BC)) and the Trojan exploit (the Voyage of Aeneas (800-790 BC)).
