Differences between ancient Genesis sources

Usher's MT-based date of 4004 BC for creation week in Genesis when compared to the LXX-derived date of 5560 BC 1 gives a difference of 1556 years. How to explain this?

There are other differences, some of which are summarized in the table below:

Differences between MT and LXX 2
Adam to Flood Flood to Abraham Adam to Abraham
MT 1656 years 352 years 2008 years
LXX 2262 years 1132 years 3394 years
Difference 606 years 780 years 1386 years
  • 1This date is arrived at by adding the years from Adam to the flood, 2262, to the date of the flood, 3298 BC, giving the result of 5560 BC.
