Every Tyrant Trashes History

Chaldean priest Berosus and Egyptian priest Manetho wrote the histories of Sumer/Babylon and Egypt around 280 B.C.E. when the Greeks were interested in ancient history. Both Berosus and Manetho goals were to lengthen their histories to impress the Greeks. When we review Greek history, we uncover myths and legends before real history begins. Same for Berosus and Manetho whom wrote legendary history before real Sumer and Egyptian history began. Manetho places legendary Menes reigning over Egypt in 3400 B.C.

Egyptian history starts with a mythical king, yet 800 years later Djoser reigns and the first pyramid appears in Egyptian history. Since the Egyptians built a ziggurat-the Tower of Babel in Sumer, the real Egyptian history begins with Djoser when Egyptians from Sumer arrive in Africa.

Berosus tries to extend Sumer history to 3400 B.C., yet Sargon/Nimrod's Accad/Akkad/Agade empire is listed now in 2350 B.C. Bible chronology shows Nimrod's empire at 2243-2123 B.C. before the Gutium knock Nimrod's grandson Naramsin out of power.

2151 B.C. Nahor............ 2178-2163 B.C. Manishtushu 2179-2172 B.C. Redejef

2163-2123 B.C. Naramsin 2172-2148 B.C. Khafru

2122 B.C. Terah 2123-2032 B.C. Gutium 2148-2122 B.C. Menkauru

EGYPT: 2122-2118 B.C. Shepsekaf 2118-2108 B.C. Userkaf 2108-2094 B.C. Sahuru.(1) Next 6 kings listed are actually generals. Unas follows Sahuru. 2094-2065 B.C. Unas 2065-2052 B.C. Teti 2052-2003 B.C. Pepi I & 2003-1913 B.C. Pepi II. (2) Sakkara kings lists takes out 7-10 and part of 11 dynasty (3) Abydos,Egypt kings list takes out 13-17th dynasties (4) Taking out the mythical kings = the Bible is a historical accurate book!

Bible Sumer Egypt

2052 B.C. Haran is born 2032-2025 B.C. Utu-Khegal 2052-2003 B.C. Pepi I

1992 B.C. Abraham is born 2025-1917 B.C. UR III dynasty 2003-1913 B.C. Pepi II

Abraham is 75 when Terah is 205. Genesis 12:4 & 11:32. Ancient history matches up perfectly!

Why didn't Berosus and Manetho link their histories together? Why won't historians reviewing ancient history give Moses credit for giving us mankind's REAL chronology? Does modern mankind care that the Bible is a historically accurate book and the Jews have a proven history?
