While meditating on the simplest way to make sense of my work concerning the problems in biblical chronology I have finally hit upon a solution. Without understanding that there are 5,500 Years from Adam to the death of Yeshua the Messiah then none of the numbers of my work nor those in history will make sense: for the history and chronology of the world depends upon the dates given in the Word of God.
You may say that one may simply consult the archaeological record, but without the right chronological table you cannot pinpoint a precise date: for all of our chronological data comes from history. So, without world history and chronology...archaeology is pretty useless:
History is the treasure map
Chronology are the coordinates
Archaeology is the shovel
This is why provenance (literally "come forth" or "stem from") of archaeological finds are so important. History has shown many relics and documents claimed by the Catholic church in the Middle Ages to be authentic, to actually be fakes and lies. Same goes for many artifacts at auctions which are said to be "part of a family heirloom", or from "an antiques dealer", etc. If you can't trace back an archaeological find to it's point of origin then you're most likely dealing with a fake.
