 Biblical Chronology
In this way, Bishop Ussher computed that the earth had been created in 4004 BC and that the flood occurred in 2350 BC which was henceforth accepted as the "traditional" biblical date,(though there is rival literal interpretation similarly inspired, setting the date at 2459 BC).
Although the fundamental premise of the creationist approach emphasized the infallibility of literal reading of the bible, few were as aware as those who hold the bible as a daily guide to their lives that the good book was rife with improbabilities and in some cases outright contradictions.
Whitcomb and Morris, in one of those necessary departures from literal reading of the scriptures that nonetheless surprise anyone trying to follow their reasoning, concluded that the traditional Ussher flood date of 2450 BC (or its variant of 2459 BC) is probably too recent.

These four sites have produced abundant and irrevocable evidence of the fact that at least between 100,000 BC and 5,000 BC, man started his cultural drama in what I refer to as the theater of Igboland.
In seeking for a solution, I will apply the anthropological-linguistic evidence based on glottochronology which puts the date of the emergence of Igbo language from the proto-Niger languages at about 6,000 BC and lexicostatistics which suggests the relative degree of differences of varieties of Igbo language spoken today.
