Biblical timeline from creation

The following is my approach to the biblical timeline of history and roughly estimating the age of the earth – adding and comparing the ages of the patriarchs, reigns of the kings and other dates mentioned in the Old Testament. It begins from biblical creation and does not correlate it to historical BCE dating. There are some variations from my previous A Biblical timeline from creation and maybe from Biblical timeline from Creation to Christ. I decided to repost it since I discussed the seven days of creation.
