The Chronology Atlas
From the first word of Genesis to the star over Bethlehem, the DAVAR engine lays the biblical timeline out in one view — shaded by how firmly each era is anchored — and opens the underlying computations as living, server-side experiences. No apps, no scripts; every figure computed at C-speed and labelled honestly.
He hath made every thing beautiful in his time. — Ecclesiastes 3:11
From Creation to the Nativity
Creation to Abraham
The engine sums the Genesis 5 and 11 begetting ages to compute the genealogical spine — 1,948 years from Adam to Abraham, the Flood at year 1,656 — with the absolute BC scale labelled as anchor-dependent.

The Exodus Anchor: 1446 BC
Solomon's temple (966 BC) plus the 480 years of 1 Kings 6:1 yields the Exodus at 1446 BC. The reasoning is laid out step by step — with the late-date alternative stated honestly.

The Star of Bethlehem
The New-Testament anchor: a live conjunction engine finds the close planetary meetings of 8-1 BC that scholars discuss as candidate “stars” — including the 7 BC Jupiter-Saturn triple conjunction.

How to Read the Atlas
The master band is drawn to a linear BC scale and shaded by confidence era: Early History (Creation through the Patriarchs) is the most contested and is held with appropriate uncertainty; the Kingdom era is the best-attested, anchored by Assyrian and Babylonian synchronisms; the New Testament era is strongly corroborated by Roman records and astronomy.
Each engine below shows its own work. The Creation-to-Abraham engine computes elapsed years with certainty from the stated genealogical ages, while clearly labelling the absolute BC scale as anchor-dependent. The Exodus engine lays out the 1 Kings 6:1 reasoning step by step and states the late-date alternative plainly. These are research and teaching instruments, not infallible proofs.
