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.
