Precision: year
 AM 1140 Gen 5: birth AM 235 + 905 years (Gen 5:11)

Disagreements & open questions

  • Chronologies disagree BC years differ: 2865 BC (CFAH); 2864 BC (Ussher).
  • Chronologies disagree Anno Mundi figures differ: AM 1130 (Jordan (compilation)); AM 1140 (MT-Gen, Ussher, Jordan).

Flags are generated from the figures stored in the data. The master timeline still sorts by the CFAH-weighted sort year.
