He was 40 when he killed the Egyptian and had to run from Egypt, He was 80 when he delivered the Israelites from Egypt. They wandered for 40 years and just before they went into Canaan, Moses died, so at least 120.

Google it. Some individual did all those numbers and calculated when the world started according to the Bible, going backwards by sons and fathers etc... This is where Bible purists claim the world is only a few thousand years old...

There is zero evidence outside of the story in the Bible than Moses ever existed.

“Moses himself has about as much historic reality as King Arthur,” British archaeologist Philip Davies famously concluded. A more moderate conclusion comes from the historian Tom Holland: “The likelihood that the biblical story records an actual event is fairly small.”

No one can give exact dates because they're fictional characters.

If you are doing a timeline or population study, look at this...



A Simple Proof...... ....... and .… God does not lie.



Look at the issue of population. In 1804 there were 1 billion people,

in 2012 there were 7b, and in 2024 it will be 8b, and in 2048 it will be 9b.

That means it only took 208 years for the population to go from 1 to 7 billion.



Working forward from the accepted date for Adam & Eve (about 6000 years

ago) there should be 2.2 Trillion people. We all know that did not happen.



OK, add in Noah's Ark with about 7+billion lost in flood. From 6 people (Noah's 3 son's and

wives) over 4000 years it works out to 7 billion+ today.



These SIMPLE facts (dates and numbers that have already happened) are ignored by evolutionist,

they want us to believe that our ancestors have been around about 1 million years (do the math).

Google the facts.



Even with all this some will not believe



Luke 16:31

But he said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rise from the dead.’”



God exists! You're not a piece of space dust evolved over billions of accidents, but a specially created being, and you are loved by your Creator.

Adam was created around 4026 B.C.E.



Noah was born in 2970 B.C.E



Abraham was born in 2018 B.C.E



Moses was born in 1593 B.C.E., in Egypt. (He was 120 years of age at the time of his death)

Strangely enough, although the christians claim to have calculated the precise day, date, and time of creation. They cannot pin down the birth of jesus to within plus or minus 6 years. As for the people you speak of, they come an even earlier time period.



But as in anything religious, there is a plethora of people claiming to know but having nothing to back up their claim. Currently, Yale's Anchor Bible Project is the best respected authority, but I would have to go to the college library(no, not Yale) to look them up and I am too lazy.

Moses was born in 1526 B.C. which is 3,543 years ago.



Abraham was born 2166 B.C. which is 640 years before Moses was born.



Noah was born approximately 2500 B.C. which is about 444 years before Abraham was born.



We don't have a date for when Adam was created. However, it is thought he was created approximately 4,000 years before the birth of Christ.

Characters of fictional origin don't 'live' at all. The bible is not of real history, it is a book of mythology.

There is no such thing as a dragon with 7 heads....
