The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended
To which is Prefix'd, A Short Chronicle from the First Memory of Things in Europe, to the Conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great
The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended is the work on history that occupied Isaac Newton in his last decades and was published in 1728, the year after his death. Using astronomical reasoning, the lengths of generations and reigns, and a close reading of Greek, Latin and biblical sources, Newton set out to shorten the received chronology of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon, Persia and Greece and to make the record of the Bible the fixed point against which the pagan histories were measured. A short chronicle of events from the earliest times to Alexander's conquest of Persia precedes the longer chapters, which also include a description of the Temple of Solomon. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
