Biblical Chronology

Why Creation = 11,013 BC

The Bible spans 11,006 years from Creation to the birth of Christ. But the Gregorian calendar misplaced Christ's birth by 7 years. Toggle the chart below to see why.

11,006 + 7 = 11,013 BC

If Christ were born in 1 AD…

Counting back 11,006 years from a 1 AD birth, Creation would fall in 11,006 BC — what you'd get if Dionysius Exiguus had correctly anchored his calendar to the actual year of Christ's birth.
