There are 326 years from mankind leaving the Tower of Babel at Peleg's birth, to Abraham's 75th year.

0 year of civilization Peleg is born. 30th year Reu is born. 62nd year Serug is born. 92nd yr. Nahor is born. Terah lives 121-326 years in the history of nations.

Mankind leaves the Genesis 10:10 city of Babel. 0-56 yrs. Sargon/Nimrod reigns over the Genesis 10:10 city of Accad/Akkad/Agade. 56-65 yrs. Rimush reigns over Akkad. 65-80 yrs. Manishtushu reigns builds temple at the Genesis 10:11 city of Nineveh. 80-120 yrs. Naramsin reigns.

Sumer poem states the Gutium brought down his kingdom. Archaeologist Leonard Woolley states the Gutium reign 91 yrs. over Sumer; Utu-Khegal reigns 7 yrs. and Ur III dynasty = 108 years. 120-211 years the Gutium are in power. 211-218 yrs. Utu-Khegal king of Erech a Genesis 10:10 city reigns over Sumer followed by Ur-Nammu's dynasty which last 218-326 years in the history of nations.

Abraham is born in Ur III's dynasty. Genesis 12:4 & 11:32 Abraham is 75 when Terah is 205. Abraham is born in year 251 in the history of nations.
Abraham moves to Haran in yr. 318 some 430 years before the Exodus.

Haran Abraham 's older brother dies at age 127. Sarah was also 127 years old later when she dies.

The 326 years
by: Lujack Skylark

The 326 years from mankind leaving the Tower of Babel to the destruction of Abraham's UR places Abraham in UR III before the Elamite king Kindattu destroyed his hometown.

Abraham was born in UR; Abraham left when his brother Haran died at age 127, some 8 yrs. before UR was destroyed when the Amorites were blocking the grain shipments coming from cities north of UR.

Abraham then slays Kindattu/Chedorlaomer in Canaan. Genesis 14:17. The real history of Sumer matches our Bible.

The 330 years from mankind leaving the Tower of Babel to Egyptian king Pepi II death, there are six kings from after Sahure's reign before Unas that are left out.

General Unas was Pepi II's great-grandfather. Unas
seemed to follow Sahure for these reasons.

(1) Both Unas and Sahure fought desert tribes to stay in power

(2)Unas and Sahure causeways show starving people entering Egypt

(3)Unas had a five bedroom suite equipped with plumbing built underground for his trip into the afterlife. Sahure had plumbing found under his temple.

(4)Both Unas and Sahure had palm shaped temple columns. Seems like the same workmen worked on both their palm shaped columns.

(5) Since Unas and Sahure were both warriors, the six names on the kings list between Sahure and Unas pyramids were so poorly constructed, the pyramids are not fit for kings; yet the hastily constructed pyramids might have been erected for generals.

Since the 326 years from the beginning of Nimrod/Sagon's reign to the end of UR III fit Bible chronology, the Sahure and Unas answer seems to be the best in explaining Egypt's development after mankind had left the Tower of Babel.

The Beginning
by: Rex

God told mankind to scatter across the earth, and mankind refused; instead creating the Genesis 10:10 city of Babel and the Tower.

There was Pathrusim Genesis 10:14 at Babel where mankind mocked God. Pathrusim was later deified as Ptah, god of the universe creator of other gods and mortals.

Then there was Javan, Genesis 10:4, defied as Jove the lightening god; and leading the rebellion was Nimrod/Sargon. Nimrod was called Sargon after he built the Semitic city of Nineveh. Nimrod was defied as Tammuz, the god of agriculture and fertility. False religion was born in Babel and spread across our world when God confused mankind's language.

Sargon's daughter was named Enheduanna, the first moon priestess of UR who was married to Annapadda, UR's first moon priest. Archaeologist found a vase with their names inscribed on the artifact.

Pathrusim developed the nation of Pathros (Ezekiel 29:14). Egypt builds the Stairway to Heaven called the Step Pyramid.

Javan is the father of the Greeks whose tribe erects stone circles, like Stonehenge, across the islands in the Mediterranean Sea. The circles were ancient time clocks marking the seasons and used to observe the positions of the moon, sun and stars.

The pagan priests would invent a god if the people needed a god. Nimrod was worshiped as Tammuz, and the Egyptians would call him Osiris.
This is how the pagan religions were started.

There are 326 years from mankind leaving the Tower of Babel to Abraham's 75th year.

In 318th year, Haran, Abraham's older brother, dies some 430 years before the Exodus. Abraham's family leaves UR for Haran,Syria.
318 + 430 = 748 years from humanity leaving the Tower of Babel to the Exodus.

Egyptian history:

0-18 years Djoser reigns.
18-42 years Snefru reigns
42-64 yrs. Khufu
64-71 yrs. Redejef
71-95 yrs. Khafre

381-393 yrs. Mentuhotep III
393-400 yrs. Mentuhotep IV
400-430 years Amenemhet I
430-466 yrs. Senusret I

612-615 yrs. Queen Sobekneferu. (According to Abydos kings list the next king after Amenemhet IV is Ahmose)
615-640 yrs. Ahmose
640-661 yrs. Amenhotep I named for AMEN-emhet & Mentu-HOTEP of Egypt two real previous dynasties. 661-748 yrs. House of Thutmose I-III. Thutmose III is the Exodus pharaoh.

These kings listed here actually follow blood kin relationships; these kings actually existed.

TROY II
by: Lujack Skylark

Accad/Akkad/Agade king Naramsin reigned some 80-120 years after mankind left the Tower of Babel.

(Accad a Genesis 10:10 city)Naramsin was Nimrod/
Sargon's grandson. Naramsin was the first king to develope trade with Talhatum, Asia-Minor. Egyptian king Sahure 135-149 years also establishes trade with Talhatum, Asia-Minor. Naramsin's trade with Talhatum results in Troy I becoming a fishing community to Troy II becoming a textile center much like UR III.

UR III 1st fell followed by Memphis, Egypt; then Troy II. UR III fell because there were poor harvests, and the Amorites help cut off UR III's trading partners.

Memphis fell and the Egyptians ate their children while crops withered in the fields. Troy II likely fell for the trade with UR III; and Egypt no longer existed. People in Troy III were deer hunters. Deer bones were found in Troy III excavations. Deer was the diet in Troy III. Most other foods were scarce, indicating famine also may have brought down Troy II.

Memphis fell in Abraham's lifetime; Sodom was destroyed in Abraham's lifetime. The world seemed to enter a bleak change, and a change in the weather.

There are 60+ kings before Egypt's 18th dynasty that have no history, yet still have reigns listed. Egyptian historians let Egyptian priest Manetho's false Egyptian historical accounts go unchallenged.

Factual Egyptian history starts with the Pyramid Age.

Djoser built Egypt's 1st pyramid.
Snefru built 3 pyramids.
Khufu built 1st Giza pyramid.
Redejef built no pyramid.
Khafre built 2nd Giza pyramid.
Menkaure died before completing his pyramid number 3 at Giza.
Shepsekaf completed Menkaure's pyramid.
Userkaf builds Egypt's 1st sun temple.
Sahure builds Egypt's 2nd sun temple. Six small shoddy pyramids are built for the six generals or kings listed after Sahure and before Unas. Shoddy construction may indicate these six were not kings.

Unas 1st Pyramid where pyramid texts have been found.
Teti's 2nd pyramid with Pyramid texts.
Pepi I's pyramid is badly smashed.It is from Pepi I's funerary monument is where the modern name of Memphis derives.
Pepi II's pyramid is also damaged.

We can follow real Egyptian history by following the pyramids and sun temples. Next Egyptian king was Mentuhotep II, who built a temple.

No building from after Pepi II to Mentuhotep II shows the next king after Pepi II was Mentuhotep II, just like the Sakkara king's list reveals.

Civilization Foundations
by: Anonymous

Egyptian history started in Pathros. Ezekiel 29:14 Pathros is named after Pathru-sim. (Genesis 10:14) sim = tribe and Path-ru was deified as Ptah as previously mentioned.

Priest Imhotep worshiped Ptah; Imhotep designed the square Step Pyramid which sort of resembles the square ziggurats in Sumer.

Imhotep built the Step Pyramid in stone since the global flood washed away all buildings made from mud bricks. Imhotep wanted the Step Pyramid to last the test of time.

Imhotep was most likely at the Tower of Babel where he would learn math and building techniques.

World Population
by: REX

According to the population chart, the 150-165 yrs. the world's population would be 16,000,000 to 32,000,000; and Egypt's population would be 1,600,000 to 3,200,000.

The population chart doesn't mention deaths. People lived for 100's of years back then. Maybe the world's population was lower than this growth rate.

Where civilization began
by: Anonymous

Egyptian king Djoser constructed Egypt's first pyramid. Egypt's border is in the Sinai where copper is mined, for copper tools are used in pyramid construction.

Snefru was the 1st Egyptian king to build 40 cedar wood ships at Byblos, Lebanon. Khufu son of Snefru received Nubian gold as tribute. Greek basket weavers visit Egypt.

Redejef's son of Khufu; Redjef's son sails to Hunter's park Australia where he dies of a snake bite. Khufu's son, Khafre, is the 1st to develop trade with Ebla, Syria; a city founded by Eber of Genesis 10:25.

Menkaure, son of Khafre, is called Manium by the Akkadians. Naramsin, king of Akkad, a Genesis 10:10 city destroys Ebla,Syria and attacks Menkaure, who pays Naramsin red granite and marble as tribute.

Menkaure received marble from the mainland Greeks. Menkaure's son, Shepsekaf, completes Menkaure's pyramid. Menkaure's son-in-law, Userkaf's temple cup was found in Cythera, Greece. Userkaf's son Sahure developes trade with Punt of south-eastern Africa.

General Unas has trade with the temple of Barbar. Unas son-in-law, Teti, has trade with Lagash governor Gudea. Pepi I has trade with the rebuilt city of Ebla,Syria and Gudea. Pepi II is the 1st to trade with central Africa and UR III.

True Egyptian history does not go back some 5,000 years; true Egyptian history is found in biblical chronological guidelines.

Ancient World Population

Four women left Noah's ark.

World population every 15 years since women got married at age 14-15 years old in ancient times.

0-15 yrs. after mankind leaves Noah's ark 20-40 people exist.
15-30 yrs. 60-120 people exist.
30-45 yrs. 240-480
45-60 yrs. 1000-2000 people.
60-75 yrs. 4000-8000
75-90 yrs. 16000-32000
90-105 yrs. 64,000-128,000
105-120 yrs. 260,000-520,000
120-135 yrs. 1,040,000-2,080,000 people.
135-150 years 4,000,000-8,000,000 people.

People left the Tower of Babel some 101 years after Noah's flood. Egyptians make up 10% of world's population, or, 7 out of 70 tribes in Genesis chapter 10.

Djoser/Mizraim reign 101-119 yrs. Egyptians built the Step Pyramid; population: 26,000-52,000 people.

Sneferu son of Pathru-ism 119-143 yrs. (Genesis 10:14) the ism = tribe the man's name is Pathru who was defied Ptah, the god Imhotep who lived in Djoser's reign worshiped. Sneferu built his pyramids with 104,000-208,000 population.

Khufu's pyramid was erected by 100,000 laborers. Khufu son of Sneferu reigned 143-150 years after the flood when Egypt's population was 400,000 to 800,000 people.

Egyptians left Sumer/Babylon's Tower of Babel and immediately began pyramid construction. As mankind scattered across the earth we unravel true Egyptian history.

Civilization's beginning
by: REX

Sir Leonard Woolley did say the Gutium reigned over Sumer for 91 years. Utu-Khegal defeated the Gutium and reigned over Sumer for 7 years; and Ur-Nammu defeated Utu-Khegal; and Ur-Nammu established the UR III 108 year dynasty.

The Akkadian empire, lasting 120 years before Naramsin's downfall, as mentioned in a Sumer poem that the Gutium brought Naramsin down, was fasinating.

Who would think that the 326th year, when Terah died in Haran, that the Elamites would destroy UR III.

Elamite king Kindattu is probably the Elamite king Chedorlaomer in Genesis chapter 14. This would mean that Abraham destroyed the king who had destroyed UR.

Biblical Chronology
by: Lujack Skylark

Abraham 1992-1817 B.C. Isaac 1892-1712 B.C. Jacob 1832-1685 B.C. Joseph 1741-1631 B.C. Moses 1575-1455 B.C. The Exodus 1495 B.C.

The 4 generations in Egypt were Levi, Kohath, Amram and Moses. Levi spent 45 years in Canaan and 92 years in Egypt. Kohath spent 12 years in Canaan and 121 years in Egypt. Amram spent all 137 years in Egypt. Moses was 80 when he left
Egypt. 92 + 121 + 137 + 80 = 430 years.

Levi lived 1747-1610 B.C. Kohath 1714-1581 B.C. Jacob entered Egypt at age 130 in 1702 B.C. Amram
1680-1543 B.C.? 1575-1495 B.C. Moses was in Egypt.

We can see the 430 years should read in both Canaan and Egypt.

RE: "Abraham moves to Haran in yr. 318 some 430 years before the Exodus. "
by: Anonymous

Here's the way I understand it:
Abraham was 100 when Isaac was born (21:5).
Isaac was 60 when Jacob was born (25:26).
That means Abraham was 160 when Jacob was born.
Abraham dies at 175 (25:7), meaning Jacob was
15 at Grandpa Abraham's death.
Jacob was 130 when he went down to Egypt to Joseph
(47:9) & that's 430 yrs. before EXODUS--Ex.12:40.
Therefore, the way I understand it, Abraham DIED
115 yrs. before Jacob goes into Egypt.
So, IF we add up 430 (in Egypt) & 115 it means that
Abraham died 545 yrs. before the EXODUS.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I, too, am interested in all those #s in our Bible.

Thank you.
