Kingship at Its Source is a historical study based on biblical logic at work on a wealth of non-biblical information, chiefly king lists and mythology. It is the reverse of studies of the Bible based on non-biblical logic. The study breaks with tradition at ten revolutionary points:

• Racial diversity existed in Adam’s family and in all of subsequent human history.
• Linguistic diversity existed long before Noah’s Flood.
• The crime under judgment in the Tower of Babel narrative was illicit linguistic unity imposed on the world community by a political faction.
• The gods of early mankind originated as equivalents to the diverse names of God revealed in the
  Book of Genesis and to human priest-kings devoted exclusively to these names.
• Sonships attributed to particular persons in Genesis 10 were partly genetic but chiefly political.
• A fraction of these names referred to females rather than males.
• Only one gap occurs in the genealogy of Genesis 11 as indicated in Luke 3:36. This gap has no effect on the chronology established by that genealogy.
• The high longevities of Genesis 11 are literally true and, combined with the tight chronology of that chapter, resulted in a historical process without parallel in later times.
• The thirty-year module of time revealed in the generations of Genesis 11 was deliberately adopted by Noah’s family in order to create a political matrix. The heirs named in the genealogy were male offspring whose birth dates approximated closely to the thirty-year termini.
• The Sumerian King List and equivalent king lists of Egypt and India reveal the centrality of monarchy in the world order created by Noah’s family after the Flood.

These points make possible a reconstructive history of mankind between 2500 and 2000 BCE. This historical pattern is at odds with “Nativist” beliefs about the purely local origins of ancient cultures. The reconstruction reveals a universal world empire which has never ceased to exist despite permutations of form.
