Alphabetic History of Civilization: Ancient and Modern Genealogies http://academic-genealogy.com/ancientandmoderngenealogies.htm This site evaluates historical knowledge as it relates to ancient and modern genealogies. Information gleaned from social contexts, both secular and religious, are reviewed, using modern genealogical research specialist standards: to properly reconstruct and correctly portray real historical lives and family pedigrees. Cultural, religious and family tradition, (their stated facts and viewpoints), are surveyed within given ancient contexts of primary and secondary record sources, as handed down for the benefit of our modern generation. Modern claims of genealogical attachment to biblical records are noted, with remarks. An additional continued evaluation of ancient records concerns The BOOK [Stick] of JUDAH, at: http://academic-genealogy.com/ancientgenealogyjudah.htm All "future significant academic contributions from areas new to traditional genealogy", must be based upon and generated by established primary records.
