1. Background
Upon serious investigation of the Bible, the language and historical importance and connections became apparent, both as to the interrelation of the languages of the world in general and the PIE (Proto Indo-European) in particular as historical events unfolded over time.

From the table of nations in Genesis and the confusion of languages at the Tower of Babel, to the re-integration of languages at Pentecost (i.e., speaking in tongues), it becomes important to have some understanding of languages in general and PIE languages in particular.

In the 1500 years since the New Testament was written, the Bible was translated into many PIE languages. This can be important in determining the meaning of the original New Testament, and sometimes the Old Testament, and how that meaning might have been changed over time, as evidenced by the changed translations.

5. Ancient Koine and Classic Greek
Every language changes over time. One can make the case that every pair of speakers of what is called a language uses that language in a different way - either a great difference or a small difference.

Some Greek language groups of antiquity include the following. Within these, there are differences. Sometimes those differences are ignored. Sometimes they are exaggerated.

6. Language dispersion
According to most viewpoints, the first fully developed language/writing systems appeared about 5000 years ago.

The most reliable historical records are less than 6000 years old.

7. Egyptian historical records
Egyptian records tend to be overstated, as each ruler seemed to want to extend the record of their own reign.

At one time, it was not known that there were two Egyptian kingdoms, the upper and lower (of the Nile). Sometimes the reigns of both were added together to get a much longer chronology that actually happened.
