Compiled by eminent scholars of biblical history, this chart provides a comparative view of parallel cultures in the time of the Bible. Enhanced by contemporary artifacts and images, the time line gives both a general overview (from c. 3000 B.C. to A.D. 200) of the major historical events in the Ancient Near East, Palestine, Egypt and the West, and a detailed section, beginning from c. 1650 B.C., that highlights the biblical period and its rulers, kings, and prophets.,
