... originally made by Velikovsky is appropriated (as usual without acknowledgment), and Plato's dating, 9,000 years before the time of Solon, reduced by a factor of ten.(5 ) The identification of Thera with Plato's Atlantis, however, fails on all counts: the alleged date rests on the false conventional Egyptian chronology and on radiocarbon dating of wood buried in volcanic ash and thus contaminated with inorganic carbon; Atlantis was beyond the Pillars of Herakles, not offshore mainland Greece; Atlantis was a barbarian empire, not part of the Minoan-Mykenaean world; no volcanic eruption figures in Plato's account of the catastrophe; and most of Thera was not in fact submerged. An alternative ...
352. A Test of Time: Volume I the Bible - From Myth to History by David M. Rohl [Journals] [SIS Review]
... XXI and XXII Dynasties and early Iron Age). Part Four, Discovering the Israelites', deals with the time of the patriarchs Joseph, Moses and Joshua, which is synchronised with the Twelfth and Thirteenth Dynasties and the Middle Bronze Age. Part Five consists of five appendices, which cover the dating of Shoshenq I; TIP genealogies; radiocarbon dating; Sothic dating; and Assyrian chronology. Rohl bases his chronological revision on the study of two of the key periods in Egyptian and biblical history. The earlier is the Israelite sojourn and bondage in Egypt, the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan, which he synchronises with the Egyptian Middle Kingdom and Second Intermediate Period; the later ...
353. Cosmic Catastrophes and the Origin of Megalithic Cultures [Journals] [SIS Review]
... : the Neolithic no longer went from -2000 to -1000, but from -3200 to -1500, so that the links with Mycenae, which once had been judged to be of the same age, became ever more difficult to establish. The same drama was repeated from 1967, with even more serious consequences, in what is known as the second radiocarbon revolution. When dendrochronologists presented linked sequences of tree ring segments spanning 8200 years, the C14 measurements were calibrated with them. With surprise it was noted that the revolutionarily high C14 dates were still far too low. One of the basic assumptions of the C14 method needed to be abandoned: the C14 share of the total carbon in the ...
354. The Cambridge Conference [Journals] [SIS Workshop]
... considered the biblical evidence for catastrophes. Velikovsky's scenario had been founded on the idea of the Exodus taking place at the time of a great catastrophe in the middle of the second millennium BC. Did biblical traditions support this? The implication of the astronomical use of megalithic monuments would indicate that these were built after any major Earth shifting catastrophe and radiocarbon dating led to the conclusion that any such catastrophe took place at the end of the Egyptian Old Kingdom, in line with Mandelkehr's 2,300BC event. The destructions in the Middle Bronze Age were not so widespread as those of the Early period and could have been caused by man. All the events of the Exodus could be explained ...

... map of central Nebraska was struck by the possibility that a mile wide shallow depression was evidence of a meteorite impact. Tectites have been found in surrounding fields and the local geology offers no other plausible explanation. It must be younger than the 12,000 year old layer of silt on which it rests and the tectites are associated with layers radiocarbon dated at 3000 years.

356. Ice Cores and Chronology [Journals] [SIS Review]
... Beaker Folk were the first to exploit the copper and tin ores of western Europe and with their new bronze weapons set out to conquer Egypt and the rest of the Middle East, by land and above all by sea. Since 1978 new C14 data has appeared [Friedrich et al 1990] with surprising results as follows. (All the radiocarbon dates are uncorrected.) The dates are certainly in chronological order but 300 to 400 years lower than the ones accepted by the establishment today. We shall see below that the date for Thera is very interesting. Dates Official New C14 Knossos destruction level (* barley grains) 1450BC 1160BC* Santorini (Thera) (* seeds ( ...

... " Finally, to the NATURE "News and Views" on "Late-glacial climatic changes" which provides us with a useful quote: "Attempts to correlate warm and cold episodes over wide geographical areas are frustrated by the complexity of sequences, local variations in the record .. . and, not least, by the inherent errors in the radiocarbon dating of sediments." Our thanks to Jill Abery again for spotting this one! Symposium on Dating Methods source: ORIENTAL INSTITUTE ANNUAL REPORT 1979-80 Jane Haight has told us of this symposium on dating methods for the Early and Middle Bronze Ages, which, she wrote, shows "signs of restlessness in the troops".

... suggests that something is wrong: - 1. The Minoan frescoes found there are dated earlier than the earliest known examples from Crete itself, although Bietak believes the artist to have come from Knossos (1994b, p. 43). Theran examples may be contemporary (ibid.) but these would only date to the Hyksos period if the radiocarbon dating of the eruption is accepted. Further fragments have been found at Daba in association with 18th Dynasty buildings (ibid., p. 44). 2. The early 18th Dynasty rulers built a palace there (ibid., p. 44), but who builds a palace in a ruin field? 3. A scarab ...

... 2 at self consistent positions. Corlea also gives t=3 5 against the Carlisle chronology at a similarly self-consistent position. So new material backs up the original logic chain within the Belfast complex. While on the subject of chronology shortening, I also wish Porter (and Beal, Newgrosh, Lasken and Ginenthal) would bother to read the radiocarbon section in JACF 4 (pp. 19-22). I would like to hear them explain, given that evidence, laid out in painstaking detail, how anyone could shorten the European oak chronologies by several centuries?

... , as part of a religious ceremony rather than within a game context. David Roth asked about the 3,000 years. Benny said he had not worked much on the chronology and that most dates before 500 BC were carbon dates. There is no scholarly agreement about early Meso-American dating, including the immigration of peoples into the area. Radiocarbon dates are very confused: some give 30,000 BC, some 20,000 BC. Many authorities believe people did not arrive before 10,000 BC. One of the main problems is that civilisation seems to have begun fully formed in about 1500 BC, without evolutionary development. Some say that it came from China, pointing ...
