amazing bible timeline with world history

I'm not so sure that I'll like it nearly as much as we get further along though. My response to the timeline: We are loving it for studying ancient history. Or that Nebuchadnezzer was in power about the same time as Ninevah was destroyed, Athens was thriving, Cyrus was reigning in Persia, Buddha was such an influence in India, and Confucius was about to be born.

you know, things like David was king around the time that Aeneas was fleeing Troy and heading off to found Alba Longa (the beginnings of Rome. Ushers is a major source of the dating of Biblical events, and while I don't necessarily believe his dates are infallible, they are good enough for the purpose of this (or any) timeline in that it gives you that broad overview. (See here for their explanation of the dates used.) Obviously, with Adam and Noah, this fits in with a young earth perspective. They acknowledge up front that some of the dates are open to question, and scholars do not agree. Other lines include Greece, Rome, Persia, Egypt, Phoenicia, the Americas (the outermost yellow circle), and so on. The innermost dark pink circle is all about China, the next one out is Japan. The timeline is split up geographically as well. There is some other color coding too, to differentiate Reformation (light pink) and Roman Catholic (purple-y). From there, blue represents Ham and his descendants. The dark line at about 2:00 is the flood. The blue at the beginning represents Cain's descendants. The yellow represents Shem's line (and his ancestors).
