Introduction
.
This article is Royce's personal study on Biblical events and World History. This timelines integrates Bible History, Church History, World History, Western History, and others. I've acquired and compiled this data from MANY different history timelines. I plan to add a whole lot more to this page. Mainly Biblical events, which I want to be sure are accurate.
.
* Caution: Different organizations view history differently, thus some dates are hard to pin down. Not all of this data is accurately fit for Literature; beware of typos and possibly faulty source data. There may be some errors in here, as I'm no historian.

* Article Goals: Switching website hosting from GoogleSites to Drupal.Org, thus enabling advanced TimeLines using layers and toggle databases on/off.

What is a Timeline?
.
* A timeline is:
* There are numerious kinds of timelines. Some of the TimeLine standards you know and love are the Chronology Timeline, Living Graph, Logarithmic Timeline, Detailed Logarithmic Timeline, and Synchronoptic View.
* Historically, a timeline used a linear scale, drawn on flat paper, as best an artist could visualise the data. Today, computer databases have simplified the process, enabling layers and cross refrencing.
* Examples for timelines are historical events, biographies, culture movements, invention dates, natural sciences, crime scene events, tv guide show times, corporate goal milestones, live stock market activities, etc.
