The old Akkadian Sargonics ... neglected by the conventional analysts, as had the possibility that much of the short-lived Egyptian material has been contaminated by much older, non-atmospheric carbons. I also suggested that many archaeologists have improperly used statistics to justify ignoring some of the radiocarbon results. Jesse E.

Then throughout the 19th century British, French and German archaeologists plundered Egypt, removing its ancient treasures and placing them in museums and laboratories in their far off lands. Egypt remains today a nation living solely off of past glories ...

... or his mother. Since Item 4 clearly links the scribe to the reign of Ramesses II, the three items were classified to the 19th Dynasty even though stylistic considerations or archaeological context (in the case of Item 8) suggested or allowed different placements.

However, ... they don't. This is not helped by the tendency of the scientists who do the measurements to claim far more certainty than is reasonable for their findings. The historians and archaeologists need to come to a more balanced but critical view, recognising that these techniques are producing evidence which must be heeded, even when the answers do not suit. ...
