∙ 8y agoThe Old Testament begins with the Book of Genesis and claims to cover a period of around 4004 years until the Christian Era. Of course, not everyone really believes that the world was created just 6000 years ago, so we ought to look at the more historical narratives and regard the earlier stories of the Pentateuch and Book of Joshua as principally composed of myth and legend.
The more historical narratives begin with the period of the Judges, described in the Book of Judges, although many biblical scholars regard historical accuracy as beginning even later in the biblical record. The period of the Judges takes us back to around 1200 BCE.
