Das Alter menschlicher Zivilisation wurde in Europa lange auf Grundlage der Bibel, ergänzt um die Darstellungen von Historikern des klassischen Altertums, bestimmt. Mit der frühneuzeitlichen Ausbildung der Naturwissenschaft wurden vermeintliche Gewissheiten in Frage gestellt. Im Zuge dieser Konfrontation kam den Altertumswissenschaften eine entscheidende Rolle zu. Diese teilweise unerwarteten Entwicklungen werden in dem Band geschildert. Chronologie; Wissenschaftsgeschichte; Ägyptologie; Altorientalistik
In Europe, the bible was long used to determine the age of human civilization, supplemented by accounts written by the historians of classical antiquity. The early modern development of the natural sciences called supposed certainties into question. The classical disciplines were assigned a decisive role in this conflict. This volume presents these developments, some of them unexpected. Chronology; history of scholarship; Egyptology; Assyriology
