Has history been tampered with? The significant discrepancies between the chronological data offered by the ancient sources and the global chronology of the ancient times as devised in the XVII century arose in other areas as well. For instance, the establishment of the Egyptian chronology presented some substantial difficulties,since a great many documents contain chronological contradictions. Let us examine the correlation between the classical History by Herodotus, and the Scaligerian chronology. For instance, in his consecutive and coherent account of Egyptian history, Herodotus calls Cheops the successor of Rhampsinitos ([163], 2:214, page 119). The modern commentator will immediately "correct"
in the following manner: "Herodotus creates confusion in chronology of Egypt -- Rhampsinitos (Ramses II) was a king of the XIX dynasty (1345-1200 b.c.), whereas Cheops belonged to the IV (2600-2480 b.c.)" ([163], page 513, comment 136).
The discrepancy here equals 1200 years, no less.
Just think of what the figure implies and of its sheer value: twelve hundred years!

Archaeological, dendrochronological, paleographical and carbon methods of dating of ancient sources and artifacts are both non-exact and contradictory, therefore there is not a single piece of firm written evidence or artifact that could be reliably and independently dated earlier than the XI century
