INTRODUCTION
Here will be published a study in Biblical Chronology,
that is based upon the following principles:
1. 100% fidelity to all chronological data found in the Holy Bible; and
2. 100% fidelity to all chronological data found in historical sources:
archeological excavations, monuments, texts, historical-astronomy.
It shows § proofs many historical connections of events & persons described in Sacred Scripture, with their related events & persons found in ancient writings, archeological items and other historical sources.
The correlations found are typically surprisingly reliable.
