Besides which, extraordinary events tend to become associated in myth even if originally separated.terrythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327062321100035888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-87909820360983554752008-12-04T09:32:00.000+02:002008-12-04T09:32:00.000+02:00Recent conference reports that a broad based analy...Recent conference reports that a broad based analysis of data is placing Thera about 1500 BC.<BR/><BR/>carbon dating is very important but there is gathering evidence that it is modifiable by another variable, in this case a full hundred years.<BR/><BR/>That is still a seven percent error factor.<BR/><BR/>I am seeing possible massive errors on carbon dating in the americas been speculated on.<BR/><BR/>It is possible that fresh volcanics may age carbon?<BR/><BR/>At this time, a time of 1500 based on many distant proxies is very convincing.<BR/><BR/>arcleinarcleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368412646619884959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7785493.post-82105881192452163172008-12-04T04:33:00.000+02:002008-12-04T04:33:00.000+02:00"precise radiocarbon dating of the catastrophe to ..."precise radiocarbon dating of the catastrophe to 1613 BC, with an error margin of plus or minus 10 years". <BR/><BR/>I have noticed that many people claim the eruption was responsible for the miracles God performed around the time of the Israelite 'Exodus'. The dating presented here would put Moses a little earlier in time than these people claim though. <BR/><BR/>However the Hyksos were pushed out of Egypt around 1570 BC (plus or minus 10 years? or more?). Any chance the Exodus stories actually record the Hyksos expulsion?terrythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17327062321100035888noreply@blogger.com
