To start with, the dates and accuracy of many biblical events are hotly disputed. The Israelite Exodus, for instance, has been traditionally dated to around 1400 B.C.E. (give or take a few centuries), but since there are no records of the Exodus besides the Bible itself (barring some ''really'' specious readings of the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt around 1550 BCE), the majority of secular and religious scholars alike agree that it never actually happened, or at least nowhere near how the Literature/BookOfExodus describes it. The rest of the Old Testament dates from 1000 B.C.E. to 500 B.C.E., and the New Testament places the death of UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} around 30 C.E. Keep in mind that it is unlikely any of these dates are completely accurate due to the millennia-long game of telephone that has been played with Biblical translation and conversions between different calendar systems over the years, and that many stories were likely transmitted orally for a long time before being written down.

Home to staff-wielding doom-croaking prophets, Philistines, miracles, and loads of people in big robes who sit tableau-like around tables or rocks, looking awe-filled and reverent. It may sound simple on paper, but ”Bible Times” is a very nebulous label, and trying to reconcile religious stories with historical fact is a notoriously tricky business.
