Abstract

It will be shown that, although Griffith and White claim to support the Ussher (Masoretic) chronology of the world in this set of papers, their many pagan sources actually reinforce the longer Septuagint timeline. The crux of this issue is that they totally ignore the Ice Age, and do not mention its meltdown, which caused enormous flooding in many countries around the world. This post-Ice Age flooding is confused with Noah's earlier global flood by Griffith and White, who mistakenly assume that whenever "flood" is mentioned by ancient historians, it is Noah's flood that is meant. The authors also erroneously treat mention of the cities of Babel and Babylon interchangeably, not recognizing that they are different cities founded in a different time and place. Babel was built in North Mesopotamia before the Ice Age meltdown, and Babylon was built hundreds of years later in South Mesopotamia on top of the post-Ice Age flooding sediments that formed the delta of South Iraq. In addition, claims that pagan nations point to the Usshur creation date of 4004 B.C. are shown to be false.
