The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended is a historical work written by the renowned physicist and mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton. In this book, Newton attempts to revise the chronology of ancient kingdoms and empires by using astronomical observations and historical records. He argues that many of the traditional dates of ancient events are incorrect and proposes new dates based on his calculations. The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the chronology of the Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian empires. The second part covers the chronology of the Greek and Roman empires, while the third part focuses on the chronology of the Egyptian and Jewish kingdoms.Newton's work was groundbreaking at the time of its publication in 1728, as it challenged the traditional views of ancient history. He believed that the ancient Egyptians and Greeks had advanced knowledge of astronomy and mathematics, and that their achievements were greater than previously thought. The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended is a dense and technical work, written in a scholarly style. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in ancient history, astronomy, or the work of Sir Isaac Newton.1728.
