It forms a part of our world history program that covers: • Ancient History Year 2 & Year 7 • Early Middle Ages Year 3 & Year 8 • Late Middle Ages Year 4 & Year 8 • Australian History Year 5 • Modern History Year 6 The 24 lessons of this resource can be completed over a one year period. We also run parallel with this course our General world history resource – History Makers. The goal of this resource is to give children a basic understanding of where the events described in the Bible fit in to the ancient history of the world. It is not meant to be a comprehensive Bible study. We focus on people’s stories shared in the Bible and look at evidence that is found in general world history and archaeological findings that help us understand where the Bible fits into the flow of history. What If I Only Want To Study Secular History? We have included this resource to show parents that there is evidence for the Bible found in general world history. But we understand that some families, due to their own personal beliefs, will have reservations using a resource that uses the Bible as historical fact. If that is you, then I would like to suggest a few reasons why you might find this resource helpful: • The history of the Jewish people is part the world history narrative and is often relevant to secular history understanding. • The Bible forms part of the western world’s cultural understanding and is seen as one of the great books of the world in the literature canon of classical education. 4 Bible History Makers by Michelle Morrow © 2020 • This resource is a parent led resource. It gives you an opportunity to share your thoughts on the material being presented. Dates Used In This Resource James Ussher, an Irish archbishop in the 17th century, did a very comprehensive study of the chronology of the Bible. His dates appeared in the King James Version and the Encyclopedia Britannica for many years as a reference and we will be using those dates for most of the Biblical history timeline. Many of Ussher’s timeline dates are different to secular archaeological dates of today, especially in the early dates of human history. One of the reasons for this is that many archaeologists do not believe in the historical account of the Bible and refuse to use it as an historical document. Archaeology is a science dating from the 1800’s. It is historic in nature and often the findings are more assumptions based on theory rather than repeatable testing to examine a hypothesis. For this reason, archaeologist’s dates can be variable. In the Encyclopaedia Britannica, a footnote about the revision of dates for the Kings of Israel (which used Ussher’s dates for many years) said that the changes had been made because of revelations from “the spade and archaeology.” So, whilst this resource does often cross reference general dates used in general archaeology, in the early years of man’s history the dates differ significantly due to the general worldview of how the world and civilisation began. Therefore, the dates we use in this resource, are not meant to be interpreted as an exact representation but rather an approximate educated assumption. Giving children a time framework will help them see the Bible sequentially and see how secular history fits with the chronology of Biblical history. We know people have many views on the history of the Bible, but this resource aims to teach history from a Biblical world view. “A biblical worldview begins with God in Genesis, chapter one and verse one. A Biblical worldview is viewing the world, the beginning of the world, people in the 5 Bible History Makers by Michelle Morrow © 2020 world, the problems in the world, governments in the world, issues in the world, solutions for the problems in the world, and the future of the world -- through God’s Word.” Ethan Pope This course is presented from a young earth theology and creation science materials are used in our apologetics discussion. How To Conduct Your Lessons This resource is very suitable for doing as a family lesson with multiple children and a range of ages. One lesson is scheduled weekly and should only take you around 15 mins. You can add another 15 minutes if one of the hands-on activities is done. In my home I allowed my children to draw the story in their notebook as I read out the story. This was very effective and efficient, as they listened for details and were able to describe their story to me afterwards using their picture as a reference. 1. You will need to pre read the lesson before presenting it to your child. The lesson notes are for the parent to read as background information. After reading the notes you can discuss them with your child. Some of the material is too advanced for Year 2, but it has been included to help you prepare you for the lesson, especially when using this resource to teach multiple ages; share as you see appropriate. 2. Begin your lesson by reading a story directly from the Bible. Choose a Bible version that is suitable for children (I would avoid reading the Old King James and its Elizabethan English). Our family often used The New International Readers Version as this had language that was easy for children to understand. If you are looking to compare a few versions, or read an online version, then Bible Gateway has many versions to choose from. I have referenced large portions of the Bible to show where the lesson’s story comes from, however, these are too long for just one reading. If you only want to read one story once a week, then you can choose to read the one highlighted story given. For those of you who do regular scripture reading you may find that you can work 6 Bible History Makers by Michelle Morrow © 2020 through more than the highlighted story by doing additional readings throughout the week. 3. Have your child narrate back to you (repeat the story in their own words) after the reading.

  • Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis
    Answers Research Journal 4 (2011):127–159. www.answersingenesis.org/arj/v4/ancient-egyptian-chronology-genesis.pdf Ancient Egyptian Chronology and the Book of Genesis Matt McClellan, mmcclellan2@indstate.edu Abstract One of the most popular topics among young earth creationists and apologists is the relationship of the Bible with Ancient Egyptian chronology. Whether it concerns who the pharaoh of the Exodus was, the background of Joseph, or the identity of Shishak, many Christians (and non-Christians) have wondered how these two topics fit together. This paper deals with the question, “How does ancient Egyptian chronology correlate with the book of Genesis?” In answering this question it begins with an analysis of every Egyptian dynasty starting with the 12th Dynasty (this is where David Down places Moses) and goes back all the way to the so called “Dynasty 0.” After all the data is presented, this paper will look at the different possibilities that can be constructed concerning how long each of these dynasties lasted and how they relate to the biblical dates of the Great Flood, the Tower of Babel, and the Patriarchs. Keywords: Egypt, pharaoh, Patriarchs, chronology, Abraham, Joseph Introduction Kingdom) need to be revised. This is important During the past century some scholars have when considering the relationship between Egyptian proposed new ways of dating the events of ancient history and the Tower of Babel. The traditional dating history before c. 700 BC.1 In 1991 a book entitled of Ancient Egyptian chronology places its earliest Centuries of Darkness by Peter James and four of dynasties before the biblical dates of the Flood and his colleagues shook the very foundations of ancient confusion of the languages at Babel.

  • DECLARATION I Certify That I Have Personally Undertaken This Study
    DECLARATION I certify that I have personally undertaken this study under supervision. I also certify that this dissertation has not been partially or wholly presented by anybody else for any degree. Date ……………………………………….. ……………………………………… Rita Shika Amelordzi Date ……………………………………….. ……………………………………… Dr. (Mrs) Dadson (Supervisor) Date ……………………………………….. ……………………………………… Head of Department i ABSTRACT The female has been given various representations in literature over the years. These varying portrayals have been either positive or negative, or both. Two images of the female dominate literary works; females are either represented as ‗pure‘ or ‗evil‘ (fallen woman) and recently, as both pure and evil. Thus this dissertation seeks to analyse Nawal el Saadawi and Hisham Matar‘s depiction of the virgin-whore dichotomy in their selected texts. The research focuses on discussing straightjacketing in the Maghreb Arab world and highlights the roles religion, culture and patriarchy play in maintaining the status quo between the male and the female. It also looks at what the female suffers in adhering to cultural and religious norms for femaleness and its effects on her psyche. It also discusses the lot of the female who rebels against these accepted norms. The study discusses how the virgin and whore images limit the female and result in her discontentment. Both images reduce her to a body that fulfils the roles prescribed for her under the respective class. However, the main focus of this thesis is not to solely identify female stereotypes in the chosen texts. Although the virgin-whore dichotomy in Arab literature plays an important part in this study, this study goes beyond just identifying stereotypes.

  • Abram the Hebrew in Middle Kingdom Kemet & His Time in Sub-Saharan Africa
    ABRAM THE HEBREW IN MIDDLE KINGDOM KEMET & HIS TIME IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA OBJECTIVE: According to the Biblical chronology outline in Torah, Prophet Abraham left Haran in 1958 BC and went into Middle Kingdom Egypt or Kemet specifically during Senusret I’s reign (12th Dynasty) and became a part of the royal family/court through Sarah his wife. During this time he probably assisted Pharaoh on his military campaigns and commerce expeditions into Sub-Saharan Africa. Remember Abraham had a small band of militia or warriors over 300 men under his control. So skilled were they that took down the world powers of that time in Mesopotamia. (Bro. Lanny’s academic background is History & African Studies) ● Sub-Saharan Africa is, geographically and ethno-culturally, the area of the continent of Africa that lies south of the Sahara. According to the United Nations, it consists of all African countries and territories that are fully or partially south of the Sahara. See next slide. ● Most Biblical timelines give roughly the same estimates of a departure of Abraham out of Haran circa 2000 B.C. I prefer to use the Don Roth timeline as it is more precise, historically accurate, and lines up with my research AND THE BIBLICAL NARRATIVE.

  • The Beginnings Following the Origins and Travels of the Patriarchs
    Summer Sunday Evening #1 First Baptist Church 262-334-9211 Sunday June 14, 2020 2300 South Main St. West Bend, WI Walking in the Footsteps of the Bible The Beginnings Following the Origins and Travels of the Patriarchs The Purpose of This Series Often modern Christians come to their Bible study time with the idea “just tell me how to fix my problem and what to do different, but don’t bog me down with the extra infor- mation that doesn’t matter to me.” Certainly, the goal of all Bible study should be the application of truth, leading to a transformed mind and actions. But in our instant- gratification “consumer” mentality, we greatly miss out when we don’t take the time to appreciate the richness of the context that Scripture was written in. When we do this, we can stunt our understanding and hinder our ability to more accurately interpret the truths recorded. God has inspired all Scripture, so it is a worthwhile pursuit to take the time and effort to understand it. What you learn today is growing your foundation of faith and understanding of what you learn tomorrow. It is my desire that after we have spent the next several weeks together: 1. Your appreciation would grow for the critical role that archaeology, cultural practices and geography has in understanding the rich context behind Bible passages. 2. Your confidence in the truthfulness of Scripture will increase as you grow in the awareness that the Bible is rooted in reality of history and the actual locations. 3.

As a young boy David learned to love history, and having inherited his father’s collection of book he set about learning Hebrew and Greek, as well as making himself familiar with Egyptian herioglyphics as well as the langauges of Babylon and Assyria. Since he was limited to the books at hand, he subscribed to a number of archeological journals and purchased many good books, especially reports on the various digs and excavations that interested him.

  • JULES VERNE Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas
    JULES VERNE Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Seas Translated with an Introduction and Notes by WILLIAM BUTCHER 1 ‘I am going to sink it.' ‘You will not!' ‘I will,’ he coldly replied. ‘Do not take it on yourself to judge me, monsieur.’ French naturalist Dr Aronnax embarks on an expedition to hunt down a sea monster, but discovers instead the Nautilus, a self-contained world built by its enigmatic captain. To- gether Nemo and Aronnax explore the underwater marvels of the globe, undergo a transcen- dent experience in the ruins of Atlantis, and plant a black flag at the South Pole. But Nemo’s mission is finally revealed to be one of revenge—and his methods coldly efficient. Verne’s classic novel has left a profound mark on the twentieth century. Its themes are universal, its style alternately humorous and grandiose, its construction masterly. This new and unabridged translation by the father of Verne studies brilliantly conveys the range of this seminal work. The volume also contains unpublished information about the novel’s genesis. ‘by far the best translations/critical editions available . known internationally as a topnotch scholar’ Science-Fiction Studies 2 OXFORD WORLD’S CLASSICS TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEAS Jules Verne was born in Nantes in 1828, the eldest of five children in a prosperous family of French, Breton, and Scottish extraction.

Egypt remained continually governed by native pharaohs for approximately 2500 years until it was conquered by the Kingdom of Kush in the late 8th century BC, whose rulers adopted the traditional pharaonic titulature for themselves.

  • F.F. Bruce, "The Origin of the Alphabet,"
    F.F. Bruce, “The Origin of the Alphabet,” Journal of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute 80 (1948): 1-11. The Origin of the Alphabet F. F. Bruce, Esq., M.A. [p.1] In order to proceed from the known to the unknown-or at any rate from the well known to the less well known―let us take as our starting point the English alphabet as we know it to-day: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z.1 (The lower case letters are, of course, simply modifications of the capitals.) This English alphabet of 26 letters is derived from the Latin alphabet of 23 letters. I and J are by origin. variants of one and the same Roman letter; the same is true of U and V; while W is exactly what we call it, a double U. Y and Z were appended to the Roman alphabet in the lst century B.C. for the more accurate transliteration of Greek words in Latin, Y representing the modified ü sound of Greek upsilon, and Z the double dz or zd sound of Greek zeta, neither of these sounds being found in native Latin words. The Roman alphabet was derived through the Etruscans from a West Greek alphabet, such as was used in the early Greek colonies of southern Italy. It is due to Etruscan influence that the Roman letter C had not the “voiced” quality of its Greek counterpart gamma; Etruscan had no such “voiced” stop, and therefore in the alphabet which the Romans acquired through Etruscan intermediation the letters C, K, Q had all the same “unvoiced” quality.

  • Mesopotamian Chronology
    MESOPOTAMIAN CHRONOLOGY AN OVERVIEW OF MESOPOTAMIAN HISTORY AND SOURCE MATERIAL Before we look at where Mesopotamian chronology may need to be revised let‘s, first of all, look at an overview of Mesopotamian history and the current chronology assigned to the various dynasties. To begin with I‘d like to quote from a Wikipedia article on Chronology of the Ancient Near East to discusses the source materials used in developing the chronology of Mesopotamia: The chronology of the ancient Near East deals with the notoriously difficult task of assigning dates to various events, rulers and dynasties of the 3rd and 2nd millennia BC. The chronology of this region is based on five sets of primary materials. They are, from the most recent to the earliest: 1. The Canon of Kings of Babylon (747 BC to 539 BC) and Persia (538 BC to 332 BC) from Ptolemy. 2. An unbroken series of Neo-Assyrian eponym lists. 3. Babylonian King Lists A and B, the Synchronistic Chronicle, the Assyrian King List, and a number of shorter lists of year names. 4. The First Dynasty of Babylon, though ambiguities and disagreements have led to four different schemes for dates between the 10th and 21st centuries. 5. The Sumerian King List. Four different dating schemes for dates between the 10th and 21st centuries BC are in use in literature: * The ultra-low chronology is 96 years later than the middle chronology, sets the fall of Babylon at the year 1499 BC and the reign of king Hammurabi 1696 BC–1654 BC. * The low or short chronology sets the eighth year of Ammisaduqa at the year 1531 BC as the end of the first dynasty (with a reign of king Hammurabi 1728 BC–1686 BC).
