The Flood - Torah, History, and Archaeology

According to the Biblical timeline, in 2105 BCE a cataclysmic Flood devastated all of mankind-save for Noah and those who found refuge in the Ark. Science has long regarded such an event as impossible, since through sophisticated dating techniques, civilizations across the globe are shown to have been thriving in a state of continuity and growth both before and after this pivotal moment. This eye-opening study exposes a startling truth: The entire foundation of scientific dating for this era rests on a single unexamined assumption. Through mathematically rigorous synchronizations, the author demonstrates that all scientific dates preceding the Flood are in error by a staggering factor of about 170. Correcting this error reveals the true time frame of the Flood within conventional dating and uncovers a wealth of evidence pointing to the sudden disappearance of civilizations across the globe at precisely the same moment in time.
