Oh. From the headline, I thought this was a story about Helen Thomas.
They must have been conservative Republicans.
GGG ping
LOL. I would love to have her carbon dated. Wonder what era they would find she lived in?
vaudine
I traveled to Crete and Sanotini back in '71 and had been aware of the impact that the Theran explosion had on the entire eastern Mediterranean. If this was in 1500BC, then the theory that it was partly responsible for some of the miracles [parting of the Red Sea] during Moses' age now need to be revised.
I believe Helen Of Thera died in the Upper-Middle ERA Era; just about the time the ERA was also starting to look moribund.
About 10 years after she was embalmed, Disney exhumed her, and used her corpse in Computer Assisted Total Animatronics experiments; like some Disney films, she was never released, but escaped.
The rest, as they say, is history.
I believe we can get a more accurate age by sawing her in half and counting the rings.

This event was a worldwide affecting event. The tree-rings world wide recorded an event at 1628BC+- which I believe provided all the plagues and fire-works for the Exodus. The plume would have had to be 30 miles high to have been seen in the Nile Valley, "Torch by night - Staff by day."
. The Pinatibo equption was 26 miles high and the recent Alaskan eruption was 34 miles high.
I notice you used past tense. Seems right
Thanks a lot! I snorted Coke on my monitor, scairt the cat who took off on all fours - with claws out - gotta go now, get some iodine
God uses His own tools for His purposes
Thanks! Will ping when I get home. I was going to ping it when there were no replies, but the freakin' work duties called my name, plus my coworker rudely closed two or three windows, and opened up one of her own. Talk about no web etiquette.
Then use your own designation. Remember, I am quite happy to use other folk's orthographic representations of dates simply to have evidence that they are narrow-minded bigots who cannot stand to have others give any offense in their presence.
Quite an interesting display. Consequently, if Thera were at all responsible for the effect seen by the Hebrews as they fled East, it must have been in the cooling effect that fostered the growth of grass in the Sinai which then burned.
That'd place Exodus at 2 or 3 years later than this event. Aftershocks could have been felt in the Nile Valley for half a decade ~
Does anyone know if there has been any seafloor mapping in the southern third of the red sea that would be able to detect landslide scars?
Bump for later.
"» B.C.E.
Far as I'm concerned, the very use of this date designation casts suspicion on the source."
What are you talking about? You mean that doesn't stand for Before Christian Era?
