The Chronology of the Patriarchs
We know from the Bible data that Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born (Gen. 21:5). Next we know that Isaac was 60 years old when Jacob was born (Gen. 25:26). The age of Jacob when Joseph was born we derive as follows. We know that Jacob died at age 147 (Gen. 47:28), further do we know that Joseph was 30 years old when Pharaoh elevated him to second in power in Egypt (Gen. 41:46). Right at that time when Joseph was 30 years of age the 7 years of plenty began (Gen. 41:47) and Joseph harvested and stored the grain. This was followed by the 7 years of drought during which Jacob and his family moved to Egypt when he was 130 years old (Gen. 47:9). Calculation: (147 (Gen. 47:9) - 17 (Gen. 47:28)= 130). The year Jacob moved to Egypt was after the 2nd year in the drought (Gen. 45:6) before Jacob moved his whole family to Goshen. That would make the age of Joseph 39 when he met his father again and 56 years of age (39 + 17 = 56) when his father Jacob died. Joseph died when he was 110 years old (Gen. 50:22). Therefore Jacob was, 147 - 17 - 39 = 91 years of age when Joseph was born.
Calculating backwards from the Exodus, ca. at 1445 BC, we derive the following figures. Since Moses was 80 years of age at the time of the Exodus and the interval between the death of Joseph and the birth of Moses is not stated anywhere, we must calculate that interval by using the 430 year period (Ex. 12:40; Gal. 3:16,17) prophesied for the length of the period of bondage of Israel. The figures we have are these:

Abraham was 75 years of age (1875 BC) when he left Haran (Gen. 12:4). This is when God promised that his seed should inherit the land, Gen. 12:7. Counting from 1875, 430 years later takes us to 1445 BC, the year of the Exodus. After Isaac was born in 1850 BC, on his 5th birthday, Abraham made a feast for his son, Gen. 21:8. The year of that feast was 1845 BC. The 400 year period (Gen. 15:13; Acts 17:6) counts from 1845 + 400 = 1445 BC. This way both ways of counting to the Exodus are very accurate.
Calculation: 1445 + 430 = 1875. So we get 1875 BC as the year when this occurred which makes 1950 BC the year Abraham was born. With this figure in mind let us calculate all the BC dates for the patriarchs. {Natürlich liegen höhere Nummern in der Zeit vor Christus längere Zeit zurück in der Vergangenheit.}

Abraham born 1950 BC.
Isaac born 1850 BC.
Jacob born 1790 BC.
Joseph born 1699 BC when Jacob was 91 years of age.
Joseph's death 1589 BC.
Moses born 1445 + 80 = 1525 BC.
The interval between the death of Joseph and the birth of Moses: 1589 - 1525 = 64 years.

The other interesting date is when the flood occurred. Since Abraham died 467 years after the Flood, the year of his death was 1950 - 175 = 1825 BC and the flood occurred 352 years before about at 23?? BC when counting backwards. However, when counting forward from creation the flood occurred in 2309 BC. For approximate figures this is a remarkable correlation - only ?? years difference. Approximation may be the result of years of births and deaths being small or larger portions on 12 month years. One may be 100 years old a certain amount of time before the 100th birthday or even after it, depending how one looks at it.

Since Joseph was elevated by Pharaoh to be the second most powerful man in Egypt, we assume that this occurred within a few months or years after this pharoah became king. The interval to cover, therefore, by Egyptian kings before the Exodus we shall calculate next.

Calculation: Joseph was in 1669 BC 30 years of age. So we have 110 - 30 = 80 + 64 = 144 years after Joseph became ruler in Egypt, Moses was born. That means we must cover the first part of these 144 years with friendly kings toward Israel (all the years of Joseph), followed by hostile kings soon after Joseph died in 1589 BC.

In this setup we follow the biblical data and on the part of secular history, the assumptions made in our article on the `Old Kingdom.' Thus we differ considerably with conventional chronology.
To begin with we set the 12th dynasty Amenemhet/Amenemes I (ca. 40 yrs) as the Pharaoh who made Joseph the number two potentate in Egypt who was also known as Khufu and Cheops. He was followed by Sesostris I (ca. 40 yrs). Next we have the 12th dynasty Sesostris III/ Amenemhet III (ca. 48 yrs), also known as Chephren, who was followed by the 5th dynasty Mentuhotep II (ca. 51 yrs). Their reign covers ca. 179 years. To this sum we must add the 3 years of Sebeknefrure (179+3=182) and some years for the Pharaoh of the Exodus. Let us assume there was only one Amenemhet who reigned ca. 40 years, that does not cover the 80 years during which Joseph ruled in Egypt. So there must have been more than one friendly king, perhaps two or even three Amenemhets (assuming they succeeded each other). The next data-point to realize is that Israel's period of slavery began probably quite soon after the death of Joseph in 1589 BC and lasted until 1445 BC, a period of ca. 144 years. Of these 144 years, less than 64 years were under conditions of slavery by the time Moses was born, plus 80 more years until the Exodus - sum total for the period of slavery would be ca. 60 + 80 = 140 years of slavery in Egypt.

Of this period, at the end, there was the Pharaoh of the Exodus and just before him the princess, later Queen, Sebeknefrure. Before Sebeknefrure would have been a Sesostris king of Egypt. We do not know how long the Exodus pharaoh reigned, but his time and that of Sebeknefrure should fit within the 80 years of Moses life and the male king's time should be longer than the 40 years Moses spent as a shepherd in Midian/Arabia. That makes the time for Sebeknefrure less than 40 years. Her reign is usually given as lasting only 3 years however. The kings are arranged as follows: Amenemhet I (29) > Sesostris I (45) > Amenemhet II (34) > Sesostris II (19) > Sesostris III (37) > Amenemhet III (45) > Amenemhet IV (12) > Sebeknefrure (3), plus the pharaoh of the Exodus, a tentative total of some 224 years plus those of the Pharaoh of the Exodus.
Convention covers therefore 29 + 45 + 34 + 19 + 37 + 45 + 12 + 3 = 224 years according to Peter Clayton's, `Chronicles of the Pharaohs'.

Eight Egyptian kings would cover the period between 1660, when Joseph was 30 years of age, to 1445 = 215 years, remarkably close to the 224 years of convention. That gives each king ca. 24 years (215 / 9=ca. 24) in average. If, however, Amenemhet and Sesostris did rule each for 40 years, that would cover some 75 to 80 of these 215 years, leaving us 140 more years to cover.

Eternity was before Time << About 3969 BC, Creation; then sin enters ca. 3938 BC, calender time begins; 4000 years later in 31 AD Satan is defeated on the Cross, the event which constitutes a dividing of time with the discontinuation of the oblations and offerings. The next 2000 years to 2031 AD maximum, would bring us to the end of the world, the Second Coming of Christ in 2031 AD maximum but probably before that year for we do not the time when He comes. The Bible says, God will cut it short. Next the 7th thousand year period, the Millennium would begin and fulfill the `one day for a thousand years' statement in the Bible, thus ending the age of Satan and his sponsored sin - 7000 years after it began.; >> Eternity continues.

Satan has accelerated his time table because he wants to destroy the world before God can finish sealing His people, but the "wise ... shall understand ..." (Hosea 14:9). Dear reader, Jesus will come back in this generation.

England: A man by the name of Bishop Bell, died in 1496, is buried in the foundation of the famous Carlisle Cathedral. The ornate brass engravings around the grave show several animals, some of which appear to be dinosaurs, like a long-neck sauropod and a horned ceratopsian.
Utah: Several petroglyph etchings in natural stone, resemble air or land dragons. A pictograph in San Rafael Swell is of something similar to a Pteranodon or Pterodactyl. One in natural Bridges National Monument looks rather similar to a sauropod.
Peru: Peru is known for dragon like creatures in their pottery and other artifacts. For example, the Museum of the Nation displays a dragon-like dinosaur on a piece of pottery attributed to the Mocha culture (400-1100 A.D.).
Sweden: The Anglo-Saxon epic poem `Beowulf' describes three encounters Beowulf, king of the Geats (Gotherburg, Sweden, today), had with three creatures. The last one, encountered in Sweden, was a fiery flying serpent that lived underground and came out only at certain times. The injuries from this battle led to Beowulf's death.
North Africa: The Roman historian Cassius Dio recounted how a Roman army once killed a dragon. The original fragment from Book 11 of his `Roman History', now lost, was repeated by John of Damascus (676-749 AD), in his book, `On Dragons and Ghosts,' saying, "One day, when Regulus, a Roman consul, was fighting against Carthage, a dragon suddenly crept up and settled behind the wall of the Roman army. The Romans killed it by order of Regulus, skinned it and sent the hide to the Roman senate. When the dragon's hide, as Dio says, was measured by order of the senate, it happened to be, amazingly, one hundred and twenty feet long, and the thickness was fitting to the length."
Egypt: Herodotus, and ancient Greek writer on the history of his era, records, "There is a place in Arabia (modern Egypt), situated very near the city of Buto, to which I went, on hearing of some winged serpents; and when I arrived there, I saw bones and spines of serpents, in such quantities as it would be impossible to describe. The form of the serpent is like that of the water snake; but he has wings without feathers, and is like as possible to the wings of a bat." [Herodotus, Bk. 2, sec. 75, p. 112.]
Babylon: Some say Babylon is the heart of early civilization after the Flood. A famous entrance called the Ishtar Gate was built by King Nebuchadnezzar (605-562). This gate displays a reptilian creature with four legs, standing upright on its hips like a dinosaur.
China: Chinese dragons, well-known throughout the world, even appear on China's 12-year calendar cycle. Eleven of these animals are common today (dog, rat, monkey, etc.), so why assume that the 12th (a dragon) was mythological? Marco Polo, in his The Travels of Marco Polo, describes some of the long and lanky "serpents," which included short legs and claws. He claimed the Chinese would use special methods to kill these dragons. Some of the dragons' body parts were used for medicinal purposes, and others were eaten as a delicacy.
Australia: In the far north of Queensland, aboriginal people from the Kuku Yalanji tribe described and painted a sea and lake monster that looked surprisingly like a plesiosaur.
Names of dinosaurs can be bewildering, their various sizes from tiny to large include:

Acrocanthosaurus, Allosaurus, Ankylosaur, Apatasaurus, Archaeopteryx, Avisaurus, Brontosaurus, Coelophysis, Docodon, Diplodocus, Dryosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Eocursor, Euopiocephalus, Europasaurus, Harpactognathus, Homalocephale, Hypsilophodon, Minmi, Megazostrondon, Melanosaurus, Nothosaurus, Ophthalmosaurus, Parasourolophus, Plateosaurus, Plesiosaur, Pteranodon, Pterosactyl, Raptorex, Rutiodon, Saltasaurus, Seismosaurus, Sinraptor, Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus (rex). - But at Glen Rose, Texas, the following remains were found in the same layer assigned by evolutionists to 100 million years ago. They found: (1) Trilobites (1 Calomini Tr.- supposedly evolved 500 mill. yrs ago), (2) Lupididendron (a clubmoss, 250 mill. yrs ago), (3) Acrocanthosaurus (spikes all down the spinal column to near the tip of his tail - high spined lizard 20 ft tall- 40 ft long in a supposedly 100 mill. year old layer), (4) seven cat prints (7 inches diameter, 6 ft at shoulder, assigned to 6 mill. yrs ago), (5) found in the same rock layer 57 human footprints. [Ref. #22, `Man & Dinosaur Contemporaneous', Robert Garbe, Hugh Miller, John Whitmore, George Detwiler, Doug Wilder, Frank Vosier, John Ditmars, D. Davis; Direct Dating of Cretaceous - Jurassic Fossils write CRSEE, Box 292, Columbus, OH 43216, Aug. 1992].

1. In the same dig they discovered a 14 inch long human footprint. For comparison, the footsize of Lorenzo Williams of the Dallas Mavericks who also has a 14 inches long foot. See Dallas Morning News, April 7, 1995. That shows man has the capability to have such a large foot.
   
2. Max Palmer (died at age 56), 8ft 2in tall, with a foot size of 15 1/2 inches.
   
3. `Guiness Book of World Records', 1995, p. 7. Robert Wadlow of Alton Ill. (died young), was 8ft 11 in tall, weight 439 lbs., and had a foot size of 37 AA shoe, 18 1/2 inches long.
   
4. See the evidence of a fossil hammer with a wooden handle. [Iron Hammer in Cretaceous Rock. David Lines, CEM Fact Sheet, Creation Evidence Museum Archives, Glen Rose, Texas.] The lab found it contained 96.6% iron . We assume this print was made during the days native Indians lived in and roamed the region. 0.74% Sulfur, 2.6% Chlorine; the fossil was found in the same verified layer as the dino footprints.
   
5. See account of `Polonium (218 (half life ca. 3 min), 210, 214) Radiohalos Discovered', Robert W. Gentry, `Creations Tiny Mysteries,' Knoxville, TN., Earth Science Association.
   
6. Could living system have evolved? Dr. Robert Gange, Princeton, NJ., says, "Inside all material is information (inside the atom, even H atoms); you can take all the information of the entire planet earth and it comes out to be 160 bits of information (that is a lot, 10⁸⁰). The entire solar system of non-living material is 170 bits, the entire universe is 235 bits of information. One protein molecule contains 1500 bits, E.Coli bacterium holds 7 billion bits, one human cell holds 20 billion bits. - Therefore how can a primordial pot of soup, filled with all the bits of earth, generate life? Impossible!!!. [Experimental Bits of Information, Robert Gange, `Origins and Destiny', Waco, TX., Word Books, 1986, pp. 162-164.]
   
7. So, "why do we need to light a candle to examine the sun?" (Werner v. Braun). Why should we need man's wisdom to proof God?
   
8. See the evidence at the Scopes Trial.

We learned here, that dinosaurus and man lived contemporaneously.

What about these images of giants, are they faked (the dino is a piece of art but not this item)? Not necessarily so. Now I am persuaded that they are not contradicting what we know about the past from written sources. They never seem to be found in a proper burial context, but rather as if they ended up there by some accident. When I enlarged them in Photoshop I could find no evidence of someone doctoring these images. The pixels seemed original. It is understandable for people to react negative. Keep that in mind when evaluating such discoveries. We know that the Bible speaks not against the existence of giants. [Compare them to 6 foot man and a giant man.] It says, the strongest ruled in those days, Gen. 6:4,11-13. Just think of the many large and even giant animals and plants which have been found. It stands to reason that originally, man was also larger than we are today. That is why the Bible says, that in the end God will heal the human race and they shall ". . . grow up . . ." Mal. 4:2. As long as everything is in proportion, there should be no problem for such a race of people having lived before the Flood. The effects of sin therefore are very great on the human race. But Malachi means to say, that after the reign of sin ends, the redeemed will grow up as they were originally meant to be. - How the discovery of human giants is explained away is demonstrated in `Archaeology' magazine, Mar/Apr 2000, p. 61. There they want people to believe that the ancient Greeks confused bones of a mix of human and large animals as giant humans, saying, "A scale model of a mammoth skeleton has been rearranged to demonstrate how the ancient Greeks could have interpreted immense and unfamiliar animal fossils as the remains of giants." - It seems to this writer, today's would be scientists are more confused on mammoths and giants then the Greeks were.

Auf Deutsch: Diese riesige Skelet ist von einem Mann der 7,2 meter gross war. Man fand ihn in Griechenland wie man ja auch Dinosauren und alle Arten von anderen Tieren finden kann. Es ist von Interesse das man diese menschlichen Überbleibsel niemals im Zusammenhang mit einem Friedhof oder, eines von Freunden hergestellten Grabmals findet, aber immer nur so alleine, als ob hingeworfen. Dies sollten wir beachten wenn wir solche Funde erwägen. Notieren sie bitte die hölzernen Markierungs Pfählchen. Entwicklungsgläubige Wissenschaftler wollen dies nicht sehen. Sie wollen es auch nicht das Sie es sehen und darüber bescheid wissen. Ich suchte lange nach solchen Bildern. Fand endlich diese drei, aber keine weitere Quelleninformation. Sieht aber alles echt aus.

Auf Deutsch: Dieser Kopf ist menschlicher Herkunft und ein Beispiel für jene die an die Tür der Arche klopften, um hinein gelassen zu werden. Der Herr Gott verschloß aber die Tür, ihre Gnadenzeit war vorüber. Man fan auch schon in vorigen Jahrhunderten solche Skelete oder Teile von Skeleten.

Other Finds of Giants
In Giants Magazine, we learn that in the late 1950's, during a road construction in the Euphrates valley of SE Turkey, the workers found a 15 foot human skeleton. Other skeletons of giants were also found there. Atheists and evolutionists have tried to cover these things up so they'll be unknown - because such things trash the theory of evolution, and show that the Bible record is true, and that there is a God who rules in the heavens. The magazine reports that a 19 foot, 6 inch skeleton was found in 1577 under an overturned oak tree in the Canton of Lucerne. It says that a 23 foot tall skeleton was found in 1456 beside a river in Valence, France, and that in 1613, a 25 foot, 6 inch human skeleton was found near the castle of Chaumont in France.
According to J. G., the skull of a giant human skeleton, estimated to be 15 - 20 feet tall was unearthed. He says, On May 13, 2004, a local newspaper in Bangladesh reported that the skeletal remains of a giant human (#3) were found by ARAMCO petroleum explorers in Saudi Arabia. . . . Saudi religious officials were concerned that the discovery could somehow contradict the Koran, thereby helping to propagate other believers ideas, so they sent in the Muawwain, their notorious religious police to silence the matter. The geological branch of the oil industry - which is infested with evolutionists, was also involved, and somehow manipulated the Saudis into covering up the findings.... Just this morning, I received an e-mail from a person in the Saudi oil industry who wishes to be nameless. He told me that he was working as a technician with the team that found the skeleton. The skeleton was indeed of a giant human, and there was a police cover-up. He managed to copy one of the photos (#3) taken at the excavation site from a digital camera to his laptop just before the police came and took all the cameras. He believes what he saw . . . and wants the world to see the truth of what was found in the desert and so he attached the photo from that fateful day. As you can see, the skeleton in this photo stood between 15 and 20 feet tall - in line with what we would expect from Biblical research. . . [He also tells of efforts by evolutionists to try to make it appear that this is a hoax.] But thanks to brave truth seekers working under the threat of a Wahabi-evolutionist axis of lies, the truth has finally come out. Take good care of this picture (#3), because it probably is the only one of its kind found in modern times that you will ever see, as evolutionists have destroyed the evidence that before the flood there was a race of giants. The very existence of the giants gives powerful evidence that man did not evolve from monkeys - getting bigger in modern times.

Notice also these two images showing a very large fossilized human footprint (#4) with four toes (was one cut off perhaps in childhood?), estimated from someone about 15 feet tall. Nay, that #4 may have been planted. The human leg bone found (#5) in Turkey was also from someone about 15 feet tall.
The location of the giant's head shown in #6 is unknown to us, but it is a magnificent discovery, apparently not a surface find. Such finds are not all that uncommon. They are widespread. Finds of bones and various tool implements too large for today's size people, have been found

1. On Java skeletons twice the size of gorillas were found.
   
2. Also remember the artfully made Stegosaurus on a temple door in Cambodia dated to the 12th century, indicating that people before our time saw such creatures still alive.
   
3. Australia's meganthropus (12 foot tall) with mega tool artifacts, plaster casts of their foot prints; locations include in old river gravel near Bathurst, NSW, at Gympie, Queensland, someone found a jaw with the tooth of a giant;
   
4. Near Kempsey, NSW, foot prints of a 17 foot tall person were found;
   
5. In the Megalong Valley of the Blue Mountains, an iron stone with a ca. 20 foot giant's footprint was found;
   
6. On the Caribbean Island Guadeloupe, a full human skeleton was found, lacking only the head and the feet. It was found inside extremely hard, very old limestone, which was part of a formation over a mile in length.
7. From China came jaw fragments and thousands of teeth of a race named `Gigantopithecus blacki' of a race about 12 feet tall, weighing some 1200 lbs. Tools were also found.
   
8. In Mayarit (probably the province of Nayarit north of Guadalupe), Mexico, bones of giants measuring in average some 10 feet in height were found.
   
9. A headless skeleton with ribs a yard long and four inches wide and the shin bone so heavy that one man could not carry it alone were discovered in Nicaragua.
   
10. In a cave in Calaveras County, California, they had also found 200 huge skeletons which resulted in the "thunder of silence" to keep such things away from public knowledge.
    
11. The Philippines yielded a giant human skeleton at Gargation, measuring 17 feet long. It is said, some giants were so large that they could uproot some trees with their bare hands.
    
12. During road construction in Homs, southeast Turkey, many tombs of giants were unearthed. The human thigh bone of one person was measured to be 47.24 inches in length. They calculated that person to have been 14 to 16 feet tall.
    
13. The Gediz track was a footprint found in volcanic ash near Demirkopru, Turkey. The track in the strata was of a running man.
    
14. Remember the massive piles of bones and plants found in Chile.
    
15. When Magellan sailed around the world (1519), his ship's log mentions a race of giants living on the Pacific coast of South America. Captain Cooke (1770's) recorded capturing a giant over nine feet tall whom his crew tied up on the ship's mast, but he freed himself and jumped overboard not to be seen again.

Thus the curse of sin must have included dwarfism.

1) For the historicity of Moses see also Omar Suhdi, Pharaoh's Daughter in KMT, Vol. 14, No. 4, Winter 2003-04, p. 42-51. The author places the Exodus at ca. 1446/ 1445 BC. Alas, he uses astronomical (Sothic) and conventional dating and arrangement of the dynasties to help him arrange history.

2) Time of Amenemet III: The `lion' motive was in vogue all over the Levante and in Egypt as evidenced by the lion sculptures and general extremely pagan cults found at Medinet Madi, ancient Narmouthis, in the Fayum and many other locations from which God led Israel away during the Exodus because He did not even want His people to remember their names. [KMT, Vol. 18, No. 2, Fall 2007, p. 30.]

3) Lamech: Lamech (Genesis 4:18-5:30) could make a good candidate for `Gilgamesh' of secular history. The name part `amech' > `gamesh' makes it look like there could be a relationship since also an `l' (`lambda') is present in both names.
