Selvom store dele af Biblens budskab hører de troende til, er historikere med møjsommelighed dykket ned i Det gamle og Det nye testamente og har brugt skrifterne som kilde til kortlægning af tiden, hvor verdens første civilisationer opstod.

Historien kendes kun fra munkenes overdrevne rædselsberetninger og sagaernes heltekvad.
