Biblical Timelines in the "Timeline" tool

Hello! I'm trying to figure out what is going on with my timeline. The photo attached shows Adam and Eve living ~13,000BC. My entire timeline is filled with dates that I don't believe.

I subscribe to the belief that Adam and Eve were created around ~4,000BC.

My question: how do I get my timeline to show this line of thinking? I'm wondering if this is a Logos setting or if the timeline is built that way because of some books I have in my individual purchased library or what. Or if I'm just reading stuff wrong.

Thank you for your help!

As you thought, and @NichtnurBibelleser confirms, the timeline is populated from resources you have in your library that have been tagged to provide timeline events.

In this particular case it is drawing from the revised edition of the ISBE - you can see this by clicking the entry and, if you wish, then opening the linked resource directly.

However, even with all of the timeline expansion resources that @NichtnurBibelleser refers to, no additional timeline events are added relating to when Adam lived. As far as I can see, that is the only option available in the timeline tool.

Hi John!

I think that describes it well. You could enhance the dates displayed by getting

https://www.logos.com/product/248014/timeline-feature-expansion-s?queryId=1f79c79af5c1ddcbb94f174214200974

This features resources with entries that populate the timeline.

Sorry for the German UI, but you can see that there are various times for an event in the life of Moses: "(früh)" = early or "(spät)" = late

This reflects the opinion of the various resources.

Clicking on an entry usually reveals the source:

There are various requests to improve the tool as a simple search in the Forum reveals:

Thank you @Graham Criddle and @NichtnurBibelleser!

The timeline is not intended as an authoritative timeline but rather as a reflection of what has been tagged in your resource library.
