CFAH-17: The Ancient Chronologies of India and China

Kenneth Griffith, Darrell K White

原始摘要(英文原文)· Original abstract
This paper re‑examines early Chinese and Hindu chronologies and argues that, when properly decoded, they closely align with the Ussher‑Jones biblical timeline from Creation to the late first millennium BC. Building on previous CFAH studies, it applies Alexander Hamilton’s proposal that the vast Hindu yuga numbers use a “double‑hour” unit, compressing 4,320,000 “years” into a 1,000‑year prediluvian span and fixing the Kali Yuga epoch at 3104 BC. The authors then correlate Chinese “Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors” traditions and Puranic genealogies with the Genesis patriarchs, identifying Yao with Noah, Shun with Cush, and Vaivasvata Manu with Noah. Using multi‑year famines and major battles as cross‑cultural anchor points, we date Yu’s accession and the Dispersion to 2192/2191 BC, the fall of Xia and rise of Shang to Joseph’s famine (1706 BC), the Shang‑Zhou transition to 1121 BC, and the end of Western Zhou to 771 BC. Parallel calibration of Hindu history places the Flood in 2348 BC, two great famines in 2001–1994 and 1708–1701 BC, and the Mahabharata War and Krishna’s death around 1487–1450 BC. The authors conclude that traditional Chinese and Indian chronologies, once corrected for later theological systematization and radiocarbon miscalibration, independently corroborate a Ussher‑Jones style biblical chronology.
