How your History came about - in case you wanted to know

1. Creation

Scripture gives the following absolutely valid intervals in years: Scripture gives the following absolutely valid intervals in years:
Creation to Exodus Creation to Exodus    2453y 2453y    
Exodus to Solomon's Temple Exodus to Solomon's Temple    480y 480y    SUBTOTAL 2933y SUBTOTAL 2933y
Temple to fall of Zedekiah Temple to fall of Zedekiah    427y 427y    SUBTOTAL 3360y SUBTOTAL 3360y
Zedekiah to fall of Jehoiachin Zedekiah to fall of Jehoiachin    −10y -10y    SUBTOTAL 3350y SUBTOTAL 3350y

We thus have a firm interval from Creation to the fall of Jehoiachin. We thus have a firm interval from Creation to the fall of Jehoiachin. Here the Bible becomes less definite but astronomy becomes more so.  Ezekiel sets the fifth year from the fall of Jehoiachin in «the thirtieth year»; this is Nabopollassar 30. Ezekiel sets the fifth year from the fall of Jehoiachin in «the thirtieth year»; this is Nabopollassar 30. From Ptolemy ( Almagest , 5. 14.) we know that From Ptolemy (Almagest, 5. 14.) We know that
1 Nabopollassar = 123 Nabonassar = JP 4089. 1 Nabopollassar = 123 Nabonassar = JP 4089.

Hence Hence
fall of Jehoiachin = 25 Nabopollassar = JP 4114. fall of Jehoiachin = 25 Nabopollassar = JP 4114.

The fall of Zedekiah is then The fall of Zedekiah is then
JP 4114+10 = JP4124 4124−3360=764. JP 4114 +10 = JP4124 4124-3360 = 764.

Creation can then be dated to JP 765, 764 completed years from 1 Jan. Creation can then be dated to JP 765, 764 completed years from 1 Jan. JP 1. 1 JP 1. 1

2. Creation according to the Jews Creation according to the Jews

The Jews wanted to have the equinox, the fasis (first visibility of the new moon), and feria iv (Wednesday) coincide in Creation week, in the beginning of Nisan. The Jews wanted to have the equinox, the fasis (first visibility of the new moon), and feria iv (Wednesday) coincide in Creation week, in the beginning of Nisan. To do this they had to choose a year later than the true Creation by 189 years, in JP 955 or 3759 BC. To do this they had to choose a year later than the true Creation by 189 years, in JP 955 or 3759 BC. 1 Tisri of this Jewish year falls in JP 954, 3760 BC, and the first Nisan in JP 955. 2 1 Tisri of this Jewish year falls in JP 954, 3760 BC, and the first Nisan in JP 955.

3. The Flood

The Bible sets the interval from Creation to the end of the Flood at 1,656 years. The Bible sets the interval from Creation to the end of the Flood at 1,656 years. Since Creation fell in JP 765, the Flood fell in JP 764+1656y = JP 2420 = 2294 BC. As we have seen, Scaliger thought that he had corroboratory information from Callisthenes.

4. Exodus
The Flood fell in JP 2420. Scripture makes the interval from the Flood to Exodus 797 years. Scripture makes the interval from the Flood to Exodus 797 years.
JP 2420+797y = 3217y JP 2420 +797 y = 3217y

The Exodus itself took place in the spring of the next year, JP 3218 = 1496 BC.
From then on the Jews' year began in the spring.

5. Sabbatic year

Scaliger took his Palestinian calendar as announcing that AD 1575 = Jewish 5335 was year 1 of the Sabbatic cycle, and he knew that 5335/7 = 762 rem. 1. He also found in both Josephus and Maccabees that Seleucid 178 (or Jewish 3626) was a sabbatic year, and thus 7 in the same cycle (3626/7 = 518). And he found in Josephus that Seleucid 276 (or Jewish 3724) was a sabbatic year (3724/7 = 532). (For Scaliger's version of the Seleucid era see below, eras 37–9.) In all cases the year in the Jewish era, divided by 7, correctly gave the position in the Sabbatic cycle; evidently, then, the cycle must begin in the year immediately following a year of the Jewish era which was an even multiple of 7.

In Joshua 14 Caleb says that Moses told him to explore the land in year 2 after the Exodus, when he was 40. The lands were to be divided when Caleb was 85,45 years later.  Hence the division by lots fell precisely in year 46 after the Exodus.  The Exodus fell after the Jewish year 2264, and the division, accordingly, in 2264+46y = Jewish year 2310, which is evenly divisible by 7.  Accordingly, the first year of farming would be Jewish 2311, and the first sabbatic year would be Jewish 2317. 2317 + 953 (by era 2 above) = JP 3270= 1444 BC.

6. Fall of Troy Fall of Troy

Scaliger — as we have seen above — used his cyclical reconstruction of the Greek calendar to determine that the fall took place 405 whole years before the Olympic era, 776 BC = JP 3938.  He thus chose JP 3533 = 1181 BC from among the various possibilities offered by ancient scholars.  By projecting his 76-year cycle backwards he determined that 23 Thargelion, the night of the fall fell on 16 June, while the solstice fell 17 days later, on 3 July. 6

After the discovery of the Egyptian dynasty time tables he had to review his work again cause the egyptian history was older then creation. So he created TIME BEFORE TIME[oxymoron] to place the egyptians in and keep his chronology.
