How Does World History Fit into the Biblical History?

Question: I’m curious to know what other civilizations were doing during the time of Genesis and Exodus. We know something about the Romans and the Near East, but what about European countries etc. I have a difficult time following the tie between the ancestors of the children of Noah and the gentiles who populated the rest of the world.

Answer: I found this site online: http://agards-bible-timeline.com/bible_timeline_online_30BC.html. There is a link at the top of each segment of the timeline that allows you to forward or backward in time. Check it out. (This site now only sells the chart.  Another possible source is The Mystery of History. If you have this basic timeline of Biblical history, you can look at the history of various regions of the world, for example, Europe, and see the parallels.)
