The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161411911)

The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended is a historical book written by the renowned scientist and mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton. The book is an attempt to revise the chronology of ancient kingdoms, primarily those of Egypt, Babylon, Greece, and Rome. Newton believed that the traditional chronology of these kingdoms was flawed, and he sought to correct it using his knowledge of mathematics and astronomy.The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with the chronology of ancient kingdoms, and the second part deals with the chronology of events in the Old Testament. In the first part, Newton argues that the chronology of ancient kingdoms was based on unreliable sources and that the dates of many events were incorrect. He proposes a new chronology based on astronomical observations and mathematical calculations.In the second part of the book, Newton attempts to reconcile the chronology of the Old Testament with that of ancient kingdoms. He argues that the traditional chronology of the Old Testament is also flawed and that it needs to be revised. He proposes a new chronology based on his interpretation of the biblical text and his knowledge of ancient history.Overall, The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended is a significant work in the field of historical chronology. It showcases Newton's brilliance as a mathematician and scientist and his ability to apply his knowledge to fields outside of his primary area of expertise. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient history and the development of chronology as a field of study.1728.
