Excerpt from Chronicles Concerning Early Babylonian Kings, Vol. 1: Including Records of the History of the Kassites and the Country of the Sea So considerable a reduction in the date usually assigned to the First Dynasty of Babylon is far reaching in its effects, and in the first chapter of this volume a sketch is given of the manner in which it bears upon certain problems connected with the age of Babylonian civilization, and with the early chronology of Egypt and of the Bible. It is there pointed out that we must reduce considerably the dates usually assigned to the beginnings of Sumerian and Babylonian history and that such a reduction harmonizes with that sug gested by Prof. Eduard Meyer for the earlier periods of Egyptian chronology. On the other hand, we may now accept without reserve the identification of Amraphel of the fourteenth chapter of Genesis with Hammurabi, king of Babylon; and the chronology of the Pentateuch, with regard to the period separating Abraham and the Exodus, is seen to agree more closely with the results of archaeological research than has hitherto appeared to be the case.
