Commentary: This chronology contains events limited to the lands which it describes. For instance, the fact that Pharaoh's rule began in 1318 ST is common knowledge yet it is not recorded here due to it having occurred outside the area. I have stuck mainly to published material and have shied away from interpretations and interpolations. If you have any questions, corrections and/or mindless trivia that you feel compelled to share with me upon reading this, then please do not hesitate to contact me.
Revisions: Given the scanty knowledge about some periods in history, this document will almost certainly be revised. For example, very little is known about the EWF. If I do get some more dates, then I will add them in. In such a case, this section will contain a brief precis of the revisions to date.
