6:09 "to the time period of Abraham and the patriarchs"

Actually a bit later.

2150 to 1900 BC, if each date is carbon dated, starts after 1634 BC (=dated as 2212 BC).

After watching all.

We have three arguments now that the genealogies of Genesis 5 and 11 are complete (and chronologically exact at least at some approximation and in some text version). At least against Christian Old Earthers (who by now imagine Abraham was more than just 2000--3000 years after mankind began).

1) If the transmission was oral, the number of generations from Adam to Moses or from Adam to Abraham was about the number of minimally overlapping generations it could take without being corrupted: if one says there were far more generations, it's untenable, Genesis 3 wouldn't be history so wouldn't be dogma;
2) Alternatively, if it was written, it is for that reason likely to have been precisely preserved;
3) Either way, against the idiocy of Archibald Sayce parallelling Biblical genealogies to regal ones that skipped over unimportant ancestors, we have an exact genre match if not to the exact same period as the Patriarchs, at least to some time before Moses. Nuzi tablets are humdrum records, not claims bolstered by the most highfaluting memories to the omission of the rest.
