This is my attempt to sort out some of Tertius Chandler's chronologies.^1:91 I'm stumped with why he says that Canaan, great grandson of Adam, was a contemporary of Akhenaten, and so was Abraham, despite there being so many generations between them.

 

 

 

Tertius Chandler
born	died	30yr	name	scripture	notes
		2030	Adam	Gen. 1:1
1420	13??	2000	Seth	Gen. 5:3
1400	13??	1970	Enosh	Gen. 5:6
1380	13??	1940	Kenan	Gen. 5:9	Tertius: Cainaan was a contemporary of Akhenaton, and was mentioned frequently in the Amarna letters as Kinakhna.
1338	13??	1910	Mahaleel	Gen. 5:12
1312	12??	1880	Jared	Gen. 5:15	Tertius merged this & next
		1850	Enoch	Gen. 5:18	Talmud: writing & mathematics
1290	12??	1820	Enoch	Gen. 4:18	not in Gen. 5:18
1270	12??	1790	Mehujael	Gen. 4:18	not in Gen. 5:18
1230	11??	1760	Methusaleh	Gen. 5:21
1200	11??	1730	Lamech	Gen. 5:25
118?	11??	1700	Noah	Gen. 5:28	Tertius: "flood" = Hyksos invasion
????	????	1670	Shem	Gen. 5:32	Tertius:1:54 considers Shem to have been Josephus' Salitis, the 1st Hyksos ruler of Egypt (i.e., the 15th Dynasty). So following Manetho, Josephus, and the Bible, Chandler considers this to be the list of Hyksos rulers, not a Sumerian family tree. Since the Bible places Shem after The Flood, and names Noah as his father, Chandler reinterprets "flood" to mean the influx of Hyksos into Egypt. See the Wikipedia article for more standard chronologies.
1686	1648	1640	Arphaxad	Gen. 11:10	Here Tertius Chandler's dates rewind, but the Bible says Shem was the son of Noah...   These dates are derived by working backwards, from Tertius Chandler's assignment of -1396~-1321 as the lifespan of Abraham, given the ages in Genesis 11:10-26.
1651	1618	1610	Salah	Gen. 11:12
1621	1557	1580	Eber	Gen. 11:14
1587	1548	1550	Peleg	Gen. 11:16
1557	1518	1520	Reu	Gen. 11:18
1525	1495	1490	Serug	Gen. 11:20
1495	1447	1460	Nahor	Gen. 11:22
1466	1391	1430	Terah	Gen. 11:24
1396	1321	1400	Abraham	Gen. 11:26
????	????	1370	Isaac	Gen. 21:5
