Do I need to unpack the zip file for the powerpoint?
I'm unpacking the first lesson and see that there is a file in the PowerPoint folder: PowerPoint Fonts.zip. Does this need to be unpacked in the same folder for the PowerPoint Presentation to work correctly or can I simply leave it zipped up?
Where is the city of Shinar (Tower of Babel)
I found 2 articles, but they contradict one another. "Where in the World is the Tower of Babel" March 23, 2011 says Shinar likely located in Khabur Triangle in NE Syria. But, another article, "Where was the Tower of Babel built", Aug 21, 2017, says the location was Babylon (modern day Bagdad Iraq). Both articles are in your Answers site. I use your ABC curriculum and I'm on Lesson 29, the Tower of Babel. Trying to show the route from the Ark to the plain in the land of Shinar. The curriculum says it's somewhere between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern day Iraq. So where in the world is it....really? I want to be accurate.
Richard, The first article you mentioned is in our Answers Research Journal. Those articles are research articles that often present new research ideas that are then challenged by other academics. There is a disclaimer on each of those articles to that effect. Our official ministry position on the location is the second location you mention, the plain of Shinar was between the rivers in modern-day Iraq, The Bible does not mention a city named Shinar in Genesis 10-11. Even in Genesis 14, the maps I am looking at in my Bible software show an area of Shinar in the same general location.
Have a question regarding Lesson 25's Flood Timeline sheet. What are the dates listed on the RH side of the timeline (i.e. 2/17/600 etc...)
Richard,
The dates in that column reflect the month/day/year that occur in the text with respect to Noah's age. So the 2/17/600 aligns with the date in Genesis 7:11 "In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened."

Unit 1 Lesson 6 Seven C's TImeline
In Lesson 6 of Unit 1 the curriculum says to "refer to the Seven C's Timeline to show when the Old Testament canon was recorded" I have found no other reference or printout referring to the Seven C's Timeline. Where can I find a copy of the Seven C's Timeline and an explanation of what the Timeline represents?
