How much do we know about world events from before the time of Christ?

in BEFORE-CHRIST2 years ago

Please give me a TIME-MACHINE because I want to see them construct the pyramids. I want to see how large ancient giants were.


There is much I want to explore. There is so much I don't know. I'm posting this article in a new group or community or hub I created called BEFORE CHRIST. I've included a brief outline of world history before the time of Christ in this post. Please note it is not complete. I may update this post or I may publish newer articles in the future. There is so much that can be added to this very small list of events and items. This timeline here is not a very long one. But I wanted to quickly get this out there to get the ball moving. I love history. So, I wanted to get something out as soon as I could. I wanted to get the ball rolling as they say.

OUTLINE OF WORLD HISTORY

The following will mention a few random dates relating to anything Before Christ (B.C.). This is an incomplete rough draft of a few events from the past. I wanted to briefly make this. I'm not saying the dates here are accurate. Different people have suggested different dates for events since the dawn of time itself. I've included a few links. My desire is to come back in future articles with more details and everything.


13.8 BILLION BC

The creation of the universe via the Big Bang Theory according to Wikipedia.


This is an example of a date people disagree with. Some suggest the universe is billions of years old, that it goes back to 13 B.C. (Before Christ) or BC or BCE.


Some of these estimates may range between 12 to 14 billion years as of 2021. It depends on who you ask. Others believe in a Young Earth created by God or by higher powers. In other words, some people teach in Intelligent Design, that we are not accidents.


While Others teach the theory of The Big Bang.


Watch Bill Nye debate Ken Ham on whether creation is a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era.


In the 1900s, schools would teach the universe was billions of years old. The earth is said to be millions of years old. They say dinosaurs have been roaming the planet for eons. So, I could add an outline detailing the different time periods regarding these dates. For now, I'm going to skip anything before like a million years before Christ or I'm going to skip a whole bunch. I personally believe the earth may be less than ten thousand years old. Well, I'm open minded regarding many things. There are so many things we can talk about. For example, some people believe in a Gap Theory as mentioned or not mentioned between the first and second verses of the first chapter of Genesis which is the first book of the Christian Bible. The Gap Theory suggests angels, demons, and/or whatever were living on earth for millions of years or for a long time. They say the Bible is hinting at how the earth became empty and chaotic. They say perhaps creatures or whatever lived and then were destroyed or something. I don't know if I believe in that theory. I'm not going to say that kind of thing is impossible. If true, it would mean the earth is thousands if not millions of years old. Perhaps older than what some think. But perhaps still not as old as what others suggest. For now, I'm going to skip the Gap Theory and Evolution and the Big Bang and all of those kinds of things. It would probably take millions of years to investigate millions of years. Lets skip ahead to more recent events.


3 MILLION BC

The Early Old Stone Age or Lower Paleolithic time period goes from roughly 3 million B.C. to like 300,000 B.C. give or take some thousands of years according to Wikipedia.


300,000 BC

Homo Sapiens emerged from Africa, according to Wikipedia.


68,000 BC

Archery started in Africa according to Wikipedia.


Creation of the Universe

4000 BC may have been around the time the universe was created according to Answers In Genesis, that the earth is around 6,000 years old. Some believe the universe and everything is older than that.


World Flood

2348 BC according to Answers In Genesis, around that time approximately.


Tower of Babel

2200 BC according to Amazing Bible Timeline.


King Solomon

970 BC - Solomon became king of the United Kingdom of Israel. His reign went to 931 BC.


Birth of Christ

5 BC may have been when Christ was born.


Some suggest Jesus was born in the month of November. Others suggest it may have been on the 2nd day of September or as early as August. Some suggest it may have been a few years later. Perhaps Jesus was born before 1 A.D. Some believe Jesus was born in December just in time for Christmas.

Adam and Eve were probably the first two humans on the planet. They were probably living in the Garden of Eden. Therefore, assuming those things are true, it becomes a question of whether the garden was located in Asia or Africa.


On top of that, it is believed the earth had a Pangea or Pangaea meaning one big continent. It seems the planet had one land, that all the land was together, that all the continents were stuck together, that being Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, South America, Antarctica, Australia, etc. They say around 7 continents. Some people believe in a Flat Earth, that the earth is flat and that it has more continents. I would imagine our world is probably not too old and probably not flat. The earth is probably round or something. Some people believe the earth is hollow. They call it Hollow Earth. I would imagine the earth is a little hollow because there are some caves, tunnels, holes, space, etc, inside the planet.


All the land may have been stuck together. Some would say the continents separated during the World Flood. So, perhaps the Garden of Eden was up in Asia and that it moved down to around Madagascar. I was watching a documentary that talked about that.


The theory or idea of mitochondrial eve is an attempt at trying to discredit the Bible. They're trying to say the Bible is sort of true but not totally accurate. For centuries, people would dig stuff up and compare it with the Bible. And the Bible has been found to be accurate. The Bible mentions things in history. Historians can compare what the Bible says with other books and artifacts and other things. The Bible has stood the test of time of being right about many things.


Eve represents the mother of humans. So, was Eve black? I would imagine Eve may have been a mix of colors and therefore brown instead of black. Where did Eve live? I would imagine Eve lived in or around the Middle East.


Another question was where was Noah's Ark during the World Flood. If the ark came out in Africa, then it is possible humans came from there. If all the humans on earth who were not in the boat died from the flood, then we could say all the humans came from Noah's wife. So, in some ways, Noah's wife becomes the second Eve. And so then it becomes a question of where did Eve 2 live? Did they come out of the boat or ship in Africa? Because they were stuck on the ark for like a year or many months. Maybe less than a year or maybe longer than a year. I forget what the Bible says. But it was a long time. I think it was more than 200 days. But I forget exactly. But the ark was floating around during the World Flood. Perhaps it landed in Africa. And who knows if Africa was on Pangea or not.


And then there is the Tower of Babel where all the humans or many people were there living around that tower. The Bible says there was a tower. The tower fell or was destroyed or something happened. The tower is gone now or we cannot find it or something. The Bible says people scattered all around the world after that.


Some people may have left the Tower of Babel and migrated or moved to Africa. So, some people say the oldest people are from Africa. That may not be true to the extent their dating methods are inaccurate. To understand what I am trying to say, you have to look at science. Look at the different ways they measure how old things are. There is a debate out there regarding the different methods used to date bones and rocks and dirt and wood and clay and many different things. There is Carbon Dating for example. There are different ways to date things.


Some people are taught that some of the dating methods are perfect or something. But they are often not taught some of the problems that the dating methods has. So, they will use the dating methods to say the earth is millions of years old or that people come from Africa because of how old the stuff in Africa appears to be. But they fail to tell you the entire story. And I'm not going to say the universe and the earth is not that old or very old. But I am going to say there are different ways to judge how old things are. Science is complex. There can be limitations in science. There are different types of science.

Another question was where was Noah's Ark during the World Flood. If the ark came out in Africa, then it is possible humans came from there. If all the humans on earth who were not in the boat died from the flood, then we could say all the humans came from Noah's wife. So, in some ways, Noah's wife becomes the second Eve. And so then it becomes a question of where did Eve 2 live? Did they come out of the boat or ship in Africa? Because they were stuck on the ark for like a year or many months. Maybe less than a year or maybe longer than a year. I forget what the Bible says. But it was a long time. I think it was more than 200 days. But I forget exactly. But the ark was floating around during the World Flood. Perhaps it landed in Africa. And who knows if Africa was on Pangea or not.

Dear @joeyarnoldvn, You don't seem to believe in the mitochondrial Eve theory.
The phrase that Noah's wife became the second Eve is very interesting. Perhaps your guess is correct. However, Noah's wife's name is not recorded in the Bible.

In the Apocrypha of the Bible, Adam's first wife is Lilith. It is said that Lilith gave birth to the Nephilim amongst fallen angels.

I still don't know much about the mindset and evidence that bridges the gap between the Bible and science.😅
