But that can be reconciled with 6,000 years. When one examines the early
Chinese dynasties, one can find that precisely documented dynasties only go
back as far as about 2000 B.C. The first true Chinese dynasty was started
then (4,000 years ago) by someone who reportedly "sweetened the waters"
making the land habitable after a wide-spread flood. The ten dynasties
listed before then tell of men with extremely long life-spans, and
questionable details attributed to them. From a biblical perspective, after
the flood of Noah's day, people migrated to different parts of the globe.
It is quite likely that the well-documented dynasties date back to the time
one group of people migrated to Asia. The ten previous dynasties could very
well be faded memories of patriarchs before the flood, when people lived for
900 years or so.
This theory can be reasonably corroborated when one examines the histories
of other peoples that sprang up seemingly for no reason about that
time--Sumerians, Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Indians. Each of these other
peoples possessed a history containing ten patriarchs in their prehistory.
On another note, all of those groups of people had stories in which a god or
gods created the world, and a flood covered the earth.
