How long is the recorded history of mankind?

There are also many different records of the historical time when human beings existed on the earth. We are still digging into the history of human beings. Below is the time in human recorded history that I shared. Let’s take a look.

The time when humans have recorded history

At least about 10,000 years

Prehistory is recorded in the chronicles of the Indian Hopi tribe in Central America. The three major disasters of the earth

The first is a volcanic eruption

The second is the earth spinning crazily after being off its axis. This is because the north and south magnetic poles disappear. At this time, the weather It was extremely cold, and this period was the Fourth Ice Age 10,000 years ago when the earth was frozen.

The third time was a huge flood, which was about 8,000 to 7,000 years ago. After the ice age, the ice age Formed by melting, it has been recorded in the classics of various countries during this period. In Western Europe, there are stories about Noah's Ark saving all living beings from the flood, and in China, it is about Dayu who subdued the catastrophic flood.

So we only know the time they recorded the second time, because the angle between the yellow and the red is now getting smaller, and the north and south magnetic poles are slowly approaching. We can calculate the time of the second disaster, but we cannot calculate the time of the second disaster. And know it, so it’s at least 10,000 years old! The recorded history of mankind

It is generally believed that the earliest writing on the earth appeared in the southern part of present-day Iraq 5,200 years ago. It was a type of cuneiform writing, also called "nailhead" writing, because it was shaped like a nailhead. It is said that cuneiform was the script used by the Sumerians in the Mesopotamia. Later, the ancient Egyptians created holy script characters (about 5,000 years ago), and then there are the oracle bone inscriptions from the Yin and Shang Dynasties in my country. The traditional saying is 3,500 years ago. Both cuneiform and holy writing have disappeared in the dust of history, but Oracle and Bone Inscriptions have evolved into modern Chinese characters and become the only ideograms in use today in the world. And the area of ??use is quite broad. From Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Okinawa, Taiwan Province, mainland China, Indochina, Singapore to the Nanyang Islands, they are all in areas where Chinese characters are used. Coupled with the Chinese and overseas Chinese all over the continents, the areas where Chinese characters are used can be said to be all over the world.

According to the latest research results of archaeologists, the history of writing mentioned above may have to be rewritten, and the earliest writing in the world may have come from China. China Daily recently published a long article "Arkeologists (Archaeologists) [Note 1] rewrite history" by Mr. WANG SHANSHAN. If the signs carved into 8,600-year-old tortoise shells can be found the meaning of by academics, it would prove that Chinese oracle bone inscriptions far predate the cuneiform writing of Mesopotamia. The age of human history recorded in the Bible

Regarding the age of the earth itself, there is actually no clear record in the Bible. Because in the beginning, between when God created the heavens and the earth and when God said there would be light, the Bible did not specify how long the earth was empty and formless. However, the history of mankind can be clearly remembered starting from Adam. However, this was clear only to Jacob (later renamed Israel), the founder of the Israelites. After Israel, it’s all about speculation. However, various human nations after Israel have written histories, so the speculation is relatively accurate and reliable.

The accumulated ages of human history recorded in the Bible: Adam gave birth to Seth when he was 130 years old. Based on this, the following are similar until Abraham. It is speculated that Abraham lived about 2200 BC. Then, as long as we can know the cumulative age of the genealogy from Adam to Abraham, we can know the history of mankind.

The historical age of the Great Flood: 130 (Seth) + 105 (Enosh) + 90 (Cainan) + 70 (Malaleed) + 65 (Jared) + 162 (born of Enoch, 622 years from Adam to Enoch) + 65 (born of Methuselah) + 187 (born of Lamech) + 182 (born of Noah) + 600 (February when Noah was 600 years old) Seventeen, the great flood fell for forty days; when Noah was 500 years old, Shem, Ham, and Japheth were born) 13105+9765+162+65+187+182+600=1655. From the creation of Adam to the great flood, *** experienced 1,655 years.

(Before the flood destroyed the world, the ancient ancestors could live to be more than 900 years old, which means that most people born at the same time as Enoch died in the flood.)

The second great flood year, when Shem was 100 years old and his father was Arpachshad, and Arpachshad was 35 years old and his father was Salah. 35(Salah)+30(Heber)+34(Pale)+30(Ra Wu)+32(Selu)+30(Nahor)+29(Terah)+70( Abraham (born)35+334+332+329+70=390. From the second year after the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, to the birth of Abraham, ***391=391 years.

1655+391 = 2046

Another algorithm gets the same result: starting from Adam, 130 (Seth) + 105 (Enosh) + 90 (Cainan) Born) + 70 (born of Mahalaleel) + 65 (born of Jared) + 162 (born of Enoch) (from Adam to Enoch *** experienced 622 years) + 65 (born of Methuselah) + 187 (Born of Wheat) + 182 (Noah) + 500 Shem) In the second year of the flood, when Shem was 100 years old, he begat Arpachshad, and Arpachshad was 35 years old, and his father was Shala. +10 35(Salah)+30(Heber)+34(Pale)+30(Rawu)+32(Selu)+30(Nahor)+29(Terah) +70 (born of Abraham) 13105+9765+162+65+187+182+500 +1035+334+332+329+70 +1 =2046.

So from the time Adam Abraham was born, *** experienced 2046 years.

Abraham was 100 years old when he gave birth to Isaac, and Isaac was 60 when he gave birth to Jacob. Jacob was 130 years old when he went down to Egypt (Genesis 47:28. Jacob lived in the land of Egypt for seventeen years. Jacob lived in Egypt seventeen years, and the years of his life were a hundred and forty-seven.). Jacob and the Israelites lived in Egypt for 430 years. The time span from the time Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt to the construction of the temple was 480 years. Therefore, it took 1217 years from Abraham to the construction of the temple: 100 (Abraham begot Isaac when he was 100 years old) + 60 (Isaac begot Jacob) + 130 (the age of Jacob when he went to Egypt) + 430 (the Israelites were The years of Egyptian life) + 480 (from the exodus to Solomon building the temple) = 1,200 years.

The year Solomon built the temple: 960 BC.

Since the creation of Adam:

961202046 = 4206 BC, which is 6221 years ago.

There are two controversial issues here:

1) Some people think that the six days when God created the world were not the current day but may have been a rather long period;
