even the most scrupulous of scientists who ever had to tackle the gigantic array of data
contained in the Bible were basing their research on the existing chronology
. The sole exception to this is a group of mathematicians
who have used the newest statistical methods to analyze
the Bible from an altogether different standpoint, having revised the consensual chronology completely
prior to that. The results are astonishing to say the least.
We learn that the Biblical Jerusalem was in fact located on the Bosporus
and known as Constantinople and that the Biblical kingdoms of Israel and Judah can be identified
as the mediaeval Roman Empire - the familiar characters transform
into their mediaeval doppelgangers which are a lot less familiar
to us but known quite well to historians. And it is from the part of the historians
that we hear the loudest and most indignant criticisms of the new research.
