We're using SOTW and MOH in conjunction with BP this year. We're also timelining for the first time ever. I'm having trouble deciding what events to include and how to assign them dates. Since we're young earth creationists the dates in the AG or the UILE don't work for us. BP and MOH only have general suggestions with no or very broad date ranges.

I'm hoping that someone else might have a list to share. Thanks in advance!

Have you checked out Hannah's helps (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hannah_hs_helps/) yahoo group? She has timeline figures.

Just as a side note for my own information, why do you have problems with the dates in the SOTW AG? The earliest I found was about 4000BC for the earliest people, maybe I missed an earlier date (it's possible ;)). I thought that young earth meant that you believe the earth to be around 6000 years old. Is that right?

I have found this timeline/commentary to be an awesome tool as we studied ancients. The purpose of it is to connect Biblical history into other events, but it might serve your purpose too.

Buy the timeline figures from homeschool in the woods and go by their dates. They are young earth. Then you can do SOTW and MOH according to the dates from homeschool in the woods. Or you can just go by the dates from MOH and make SOTW conform to that. By the way, I just purchased the ancient package and am making the timeline recommended in MOH.

Good luck,

Paula

I have the newer edition, which is dating Nomads in the fertile crescent at 7000BC and the walls of Jerico at 6800BC. This is actually the text itself (Vol. 1 pg 13), not the AG though. I think the older edition that I originally looked at had the dates in the AG. But anyhow we do use the 6000 BC date for creation so that's why these other dates don't work for us.

I don't envision such conflicts once we get a bit further on though. Overall I think it's a great text.

Perfect! That's exactly what I needed. Thanks!

Thanks for clearing that up for me! I have the older text with the newer AG which may explain my confusion.
