- If you like this technical lecture from the 2017 IGH Conference, you can get it and over 70 more at: isgenesishistory.com/conference/ Dr. Douglas Petrovich earned a PhD from the University of Toronto, with a major in Syro-Palestinian archaeology, a first minor in ancient Egyptian language, and a second minor in ancient Near Eastern religions.
He formerly was the academic dean and a professor at Novosibirsk Biblical-Theological Seminary (Siberia, Russia), as well as at Shepherds Theological Seminary (Cary, North Carolina), having taught over 30 different courses.
Dr. Petrovich’s research interests include biblical history and exegesis, Egyptology, and ancient Near Eastern history (including archaeology, epigraphy, chronology, and iconography). He teaches Ancient Egypt at Wilfrid Laurier University (Waterloo, Canada).

May I suggest that there is a lot of screen real estate wasted on the area to the left of the presenter (about 1/4 of the screen). If you zoomed in on the screen and the presenter, both would be more clearly visible. We don't need to see the front of the desk and the area under the monitor.
Agree.
Makes sense
well explained biblical history with modern technology. thanks for the delivery of the content.
I am happy that Dr. Doug Petrovich takes God and the Bible as a base of truth, The truth starts with those who do no lie and cheat. From their guidelines we can see the truth in other things.
Yes!
I was under the impression that volcanic activity releases only C-12 and that volcanic activity heavily impacts the C-14/C-12 ratio. If volcanism was heavier during and after the flood, then shouldn't we expect to see less conversion of C-12 into C-14 due to the particulate reflecting sunlight on top of the mass introduction of the elemental carbon? As those effects wore off, the "very old" seeming samples (with little c-14) would get "younger" (more c-14) until they plateau at their current ratio around 1400 BC. I don't know if I'm right, because I'm not a scientist, but it at least sounds to me like a better explanation than relating it directly to shrinking human lifespans - although there may be a correlation there.
God Bless
Note that all discussed here is a +/- 200 years and still leaves to understand carbon 14 values from pre 400 BC.
How do you know how to date biblical years. 480 years in Egypt are they the same as years today? I thought that years were dated differently in Egypt, in Babylon (360 days= 1 year, or 12*28 days =1 year) and in Israel. I would really like to know a bit more about that.
The 400 years is more likely the time from Avraham to Moses. The period of Isaac and Jacob was always in a foriegn land, as they were subject to its inhabitants just as they were for three generations in Egypt. In fact a shorter time in Egypt compliments the models of 70 going into Egypt and 600,000 fighting males with a million more family elders, mothers, and daughters in tow. If you extrapilate 400 plus years in Egypt alone, you get several million people that the narrative does not account for. This is not to imply the text is not accurate, but rather our interpretaion and translational understanding is actually suspect!
the year may have been a perfect 360days prior to Joshua... but the hebrew calendar fixes the 5.25days, when if the barley is not aviv, there is an extra month... so it lines up with the solar calendar again
Do you have a lecture about biblical chemistry?
Hello James! You may want to check out a lecture given by biochemist Joe Deweese during our 2017 𝘐𝘴 𝘎𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘏𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 conference. The lecture is titled "How Does Biochemistry Reveal God’s Design?" and can be viewed at the following link: czcams.com/video/GVa48qfLpDE/video.html.
are tels only found in the fertile crescent area? tels speaks of places continually occupied/abandoned/reoccupied over a stretch of long periods of time. what explains this phenomenon?
In other places it's just called archaeological mounds.
The problem with 1 Kings 6:1 is that it does not appear in the oldest manuscripts Codex Sinaiticus nor Codex Alexandrus and It actually appears as 440 year in 1 Kings 5 in the Septuagint leading to the translators of the Septuagint (James Moffat) to bracket the 480 years as being a extra-biblical addition or a scribal commentary. Then in Acts 13 it says that the period of the Judges was 450 years and Josephus dated the period from the temple through the Judges to the Exodus to 590 years not even mentioning this 480 years in 1 Ki 6. It seems then that there may also be problems with the biblical archaeological dating Since Josephus and Hales even dated things differently... For example if you look at the dating of Cyrus decree ending the 70 year exile as 538 BC and add 70 years dating the first exile at 608 BC and the end of the siege of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple at 597 not 586 BC as is commonly stated in most Bible book notes for Ezekiel. Further Ezekiel chapter 4 has him lay on his side for 390 days for each year of Israel's sin and indeed if you work out Judah and Israel's reigns of Kings it comes out to between 368-390 years depending upon how you calculate co-regencies. This places the temple's construction between 1001 and 1023 BC not the 970 date typically given for the temple construction. I have gone through what the Bible says and the dating of Ussher and Thiele seem to have issues such as these.
33:32 dating of the exodus. dr petrovich, have you considered 5:13-15 which starts with working as slaves and ends with god reminding them that he freed them from slavery and therefore they need to observe the sabbath to remember? i submit, the since the israelites were recorded as having walked out of egypt after midnight, that it was the midnight within the sabbath which has to be saturday the way we reckon days. it is very incredible planning by god to connect his day of rest to the day of their rest from slave work, maybe for the first time in so long.
the sabbath is our remembrance of our freedom from the slavery of sin as the exodus was the freedom from the slavery of egypt.
This was good, basic info until he said precise chronology is important to God, Himself. I don't think we can know that.
Deborah Westbrooke I agree. Chronology may not be important to God at all. I do believe somewhere in the Bible it states that God will confound the wise.
I agree
I would agree that God is not terribly concerned if we understand the chronology of events from the past but I am very certain that God knows exactly and precisely when and where everything happened..... and will happen.
Theres no books like the 66 books found in the bible. None. Isreal is truly God's prophetic clock
Insert Carl Benjamin joke here.
