I am really struggeling how to bring world history and bible history together. It may be because I was brought up in a secular household and had a secular education and I am a rather "new" Christian. I am doing Module 1 with my DD 6 and I just don't know how to line up all the ancient history with the bible history. My big "stumble block" is the great flood, which according to the bible wiped out all living being, besides the ones on the Ark. According to my bibel timelines the flood happend sometime around 2400 B.C..Now when we read about Ancient Egypt, it taks about buldings built and Kings lived during this time and shortly after. I honestly just don't know how to make sense of all the events and therefoe have a hard time teaching the ancient history to my DD. We started talking about Ancient Egypt but so far I avoided bringing up dates because I do not know how I would explain the timelines if my DD would ask me. Maybe I am overthinking all this? Please don't get me wrong, in no way do I want to question the bible history timeline, the bible is the one and only absolute truth to me. Can someone help me understand how to make sense of the ancient history without conflicting the bibel? Or is there a book I can read that would explain all that to me? Sorry if this question sounds rather silly to you, like I said, maybe I am just overthinking things and can't see the obvious?
