History Online - Chronology

Overlapping of the described historical events, occurring in X and the Old Testament, implies, in particular, that of the kingdom of Israel and Judah, described in the First and Second Book of Samuel and Kings, the First and Second Book of the Chronicles, coincides with part of the Holy Roman Empire in 962-1300, which is ideally consistent with the independent overlapping obtained above on the basis of the independent duplicate dynasty recognition method. These dynasties overlap due to the anomalous smallness of the coefficient \(M, H), which indicates | a dependence of the dynasties.

Let me stress once again that all the chronological results obtained by the I described methods are perfectly consistent with each other, which is a serious argument for the objectivity of the duplicate system discovered. Overlapping of biblical and European (in particular, Italian and German) i events leads, inter alia, to the following identifications. The famous events under King Zedekiah (war with Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar, the fall of the kingdom of Judah, capture of Jerusalem and Babylonian captivity) overlap j with those at the end of the 13th century in Italy, namely, the war in Italy, i capturing of Rome, transfer of the pontificate to Avignon, and complete subordination of the papacy to the French crown ("exile of the popes"). The biblical 70-year-long Babylonian captivity is a reflection (duplicate) of the 70-year-long Avignon exile of the popes in 1305-1376. The medieval authors in the 14-15th century confirm our conclusion, calling I the Avignon exile of the popes "Babylonian captivity" (see, e.g., [81]). In particular, Dante wrote in a letter to the Roman king Henry, dated April 16, 1311, discussing the Avignon exile of the popes, that the heritage, which, being deprived of it, they continued to be feel sorry for, will be returned to I them fully. And, similarly to their yearning for holy Jerusalem (Rome?), the | Babylonian exiles (in Avignon!) having become citizens, will joyfully remem-i ber the suffering of the turbulent years.

The further biblical events described in Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther (return o" to Jerusalem, "restoration of the temple") are reflections of the corresponding I. events in Italy in 1376-1410 (return of the pontificate to Rome). For the convenience of comparing the biblical and European events, we i decode the letter symbols of line B (Bible), indicating the plot of the corre-f spending biblical legend for each of them. Thus, B = i T: legend of Adam and Eve;
K: Cain and Abel, Enoch, Irad, Methushael, Lamech, Seth, Enosh, Canaan, Mahalalel, Jared;
T: Noah, the Flood, destruction and rebirth of mankind; H: Shem, Ham, Japheth, "sons of Japheth;
T: Babylonian captivity, dispersing mankind all over the world;
K: Arphaxad, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Naher, Ferah, Abram;
T: Abraham and Sarah, fighting the Pharaoh;
K: Abraham, Haran, separation into two kingdoms, major biblical patriarchs Isaac, Esau, Jacob, Judas, Joseph;
T: Joseph in Egypt, his serving the Pharaoh, the legend of the "woman";
T: Moses, war with the Pharaoh, the Exodus, making the laws of the Israelites;
H/H/P: Moses' death, Joshua, war and settling in the Promised Land, story of the "Judges";
T: sons of Benjamin, war; T: Ruth, Saul, Samuel, David;
K: kingdoms of Israel and Judah;
T: war with the Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar, fall of the kingdom of Judah, beginning of Babylonian captivity (analogue of the Avignon exile), destruction of Jerusalem;
Ca: Babylonian captivity, return after 70 years, new "foundation" of the temple.

To identify these events with the corresponding European ones, we have to turn our attention to Fig. 32, in which line B is represented above, and compare its symbols with the corresponding expansions of the "European" symbols. It follows from the decomposition of the GCD into the sum of four chronicles that nearly all of the "modern textbook", referring to dates earlier than A.D. 900, consists of duplicates whose "originals" occurred in A.D. 900-1600. In particular, each event described in the "modern textbook" before A.D. 900 is the sum of several (mainly, two, three, or four) later events. To find the authentic dates when these events did occur, we have to draw a vertical line and mark those events which it cuts out of the four chronicle lines Ci, C-^, C'3, and C"4.

In other words, the "modern textbook" is a fibred chronicle glued together from the four pieces shifted with respect to each other and being practically identical. The GCD contains no duplicates, starting only with the middle of the 13th century and later.
