Yes. Darrell K. White and I have built an integrated timeline of between Genesis, the Sumerians, Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Hindus, Persians, Irish, and Chinese histories.
I have a series of papers posted at Academia called the Chronological Framework of Ancient History, as well as a master chart that shows the integration.
I’m more looking at where the astronomical data appears in the numbers. But, I’ve put it on hold for the time being. I should get back to it in the next couple of years.
Berossus presented the reigns of the kings from the Flood down to Alexander as totalling 36,000. But that included the number of kings in each of his dynasties. kings + years of reign = 36,000 which was one revolution of the Babylonian Zodiac with their estimate of 1 degree of precession per 100 years.
Manetho, imitating Berossus, composed his history of Egypt as 25 sothic cycles of 1461 years totalling 36,525 years for one revolution of the Zodiac, implying an Egyptian rate of precession of 1 degree in 101.4 erratic years, or 101.53 Julian years.
Fascinating deducing there. Can we build a unified timeline between Genesis, the Sumerians, the Egyptians, and any other ancient calendars yet?

The timeline is here: (but you have to be logged in to Academia.edu to see it)

If anyone is wondering, you have to be logged in to view that URL. Otherwise it gives a 404.
Interesting idea. 💡

Interesting. I’d love to do a deep dive into this. I unpacked the astronomical data in Genesis 5 and Genesis 11 in my book Heavens of the Hebrews.
I think we forget how much the Heavens affected early civilisations.
