Purpose of this list: To theorize about ancient chronology. The
major perspective of this group will be that the Middle Bronze 1
pottery horizon, otherwise known as Early Bronze IV - Middle Bronze I,
is the strata of the biblical Exodus, Conquest, and early Settlement
period.

Most messages should be about ancient history. Off topic posts are
allowed but only if the subject heading is reflective of the off topic
message. A message primarily about conspiracy theories in ancient
history should start with the word, Conspiracy, in the subject header.
A message primarily about Velikovsky should have the word Velikovsky
in the subject header. And so on. The moderator reserves the right to
change the subject heading if these guidelines are not followed.
Messages that attack the basic science of archaeology or stratigraphic
analysis will receive an automatic "Off the Reservation" subject
heading, if they are even posted at all. The moderator does not like
to censor emails so please post responsibly.

All topics related to ancient history can be discussed, but emails
presupposing destructive Higher Criticism (i.e., Bible-bashing) or
emails that discuss, say, the War Between the States, or advertise
financial investments, etc., will not be posted. Discussions of
creation and evolution, or of eschatology, etc., should be posted on
lists devoted to those topics, unless, of course, the discussions can
be related to ancient history in some way.

It goes without saying that flames and insults won't be posted. Happy
Sherlocking in the field of ancient chronology and history!
