* Literature/TheBible, especially in some versions/translations, has been known to contain a few anachronisms since often the "books" composing it were written some time after the events were supposed to have taken place. For example the descriptions of armor, especially that worn by Goliath, in [[Literature/BooksOfSamuel 1 Samuel 17]] are typical of Greek armour of the 6th century BC rather than of Philistine armour of the 10th century BC.
** [[LostInTranslation The original Hebrew]] text is, however, a surprisingly accurate description of the 11th century BC ''maryannu''.
** The Tribes of Israel are RetConned as having extensively used iron weapons - Deborah is given a battle chariot protected by iron plates - even though bronze would have been universal for all peoples - including mighty Egypt - in this time period. And ignoring that in another passage Israel was unable to defeat an enemy army because the ''enemy'' possessed iron chariots.
** All of the Hebrew Bible from [[Literature/BookOfGenesis Genesis]] through [[Literature/BooksOfKings 2 Kings]] wasn't written down and in its final form until around 500 BC or later, so descriptions such as the above would be based on contemporary examples.
** The Apocrypha-- books written between the Old and New Testaments not found in Protestant Bibles (but found in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles, and considered inspired Scripture) often have these. Whether or not this is deliberate is debated. Some, like Judith, are so riddled with anachronisms that they are essentially the Israelite equivalent of a Tarantino film (only with more morals).
*** The book of Tobit takes place in the 8th century BCE but uses quotes from the books of Chronicles (which many scholars date to the 4th century BCE.)
*** The Literature/BookOfJudith begins by declaring Nebuchadnezzar as the king who "ruled over the Assyrians", though he actually ruled over the Babylonians. A Catholic Bible commentary suggests that this was an Assyrian king that went by this name that was a contemporary of King Manasseh of Judah, and thus should not be confused with the Babylonian king.

* ''WebVideo/DougDougAIInvasion'': Doug tries to keep the options limited to the campaign's time period, but anything the AI comes up with becomes fair game. As such, the American Revolution eventually devolves into the Americans and French fielding {{Humongous Mecha}}s against the British, ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' being published in the 1700s, ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' being on tour with the original cast, and the Americans inventing nuclear warheads but not planes to drop them from.
