Historical accuracy holds the key to power. Why? Because if the accuracy (or nearest proximity attainable) is ascertained, this dispells myths purported onto people, for certain agendas. This is most evident within the religious field. I'd like to know what you've found to be the most scholarly and sound account for the timeline of history and world events.

These are two that I have:

http://campus.northpark.edu/history...Prehistory.html

http://www.b17.com/family/lwp/chron...prehistory.html

Questions:

1) Were these links helpful to anyone who may have wanted links to websites like these?

2) Pro/cons of these versions of history

3) Do you have any qualms with these accounts? ( theists and non-theists, alike)

4) Can you articulate your qualms for me, and provide, to the best of your knowledge, to be more reputable or accurate sources? (BTW could you provide sources whether or not you have material issues with these links or not?)

Regards,

Invictus

Your links are broken. They have ellipses in them.

This is my first post here...

Anyway, I think this page is the second link that Soul Invictus intended to post.

I hung right in there with that second link until I ran into this:

Quote:

433,517 BCE to 71,517 BCE: Alorus became king; he ruled for 162,000 years; from 433,517 to 271,517 BCE as reckoned by L. C. Gerts.

I thought Alorus reigned for just 151,267 years. Oh, well.
