Hello guys/gals: I've decided open the list for anyone who wants to post, as long as they reasonably follow the List rules. This means that I will be checking...
BJ: I would still like Vern to explain his position about the mass of C-14 dating giving a ballpark for absolute dates, and how it correlates with his basic...
BJ: Vern, it obviously didn't work _immediately_! There was an _immediate_ solicitation totally unrelated to the purpose of the list! In any case you need to...
... I would like to see a rapprochement between so-called absolute dating and biblical chronology. However, right now the most important thing is to find the...
... BJ: I agree that there needs to be right correlations between the Bible and archaeology, and you have proposed that, and discussed it at length already....

Absolute dating cannot be given because the ancients didn't document (write on the walls!) in the Holy Land as they did in Egypt. Yet in Egypt, even though...
... It isn't just an argument from lack of evidence. There are a lot of positive correlations theorized under New Courville. ... I've proposed New Courville...
Hi All, I have another position. I don't buy New (or Old) Courville, as Vern well knows. Further, I see The Bible as a valuable source for ANE history (& my...
regarding generations, it is always possible iin such a time frame for names to be lost. If several pages were represented in separate clay tablets, the loss...
I think that would be, especially concerning your other points in that paragraph, well known to all who wrote or read it. The events were recorded precisely ...
Hello, Bob and Vern -- Other then radiometric dating, which can be afflicted with vagaries, there is astronomical dating that can yield absolute dates....
Hello, Gene -- Some brief comments on your thoughts. I agree with you and Vern that the MBI invaders of Canaan were the Israelites. I do believe the records of...
(( Hi David, I also like dating events using astronomy. Do you have the details of these events you describe written up in a paper? Toby )) Hello, Toby -- Just...
I have a problem with astronomical dating. That is that I have personally experienced several lunar and a few solar eclipses in my short sweet 66 years. ...
... BJ: I was referring to the ball-park C-14 dating. What you say about the Levant only relates to "historical" dating, not ball-park C-14 dating, which you...
... BJ: Over the years I have seen speculative "correlations" that such and such archaeological finds _might_ be attached to so and so in the biblical account....
... BJ: Yes, that is another matter, and that _has_ been taken up in some detail. ... BJ: Yes, the interlocking is the key to get correlations that are tight...
It seems to me, that we have to focus on written/carved/etc. history, which is of course fragmentary. Specifically, when some individual can be identified with...
another slight problem. What if there were some cataclysmic events that shifted the earth's axis a bit now and then? wouldn't that change the date and location...
right. And where do these people appear as reported by known writers and travellers in the Medieval Era as having been seen by or talked with by the latter? ...
Hi David, I'm not on the New Chronology list, so I don't have access to the double eclipse posting your wrote. I am interested in your dating of Hammurabi. You...
Greetings David, You wrote: "1849 bc -- Year 23 of Shulgi (solar / lunar eclipse pair)" Wikipedia has this eclipse as occuring almost 300 years prior to this,...
Hello, Toby -- (( You have Hammurabi dying about 150 years earlier ... )) Actually, later rather than earlier. As you observe, (( Hammurabi started his reign...
