Geophysicists say the eruption occurred in about 1645 B.C., but archaeologists prefer 1500 B.C., McCoy said.

Only one ancient eruption was documented in surviving ancient texts, and that occurred around 200 BC. The supposed super-eruption can be dated to the earlier 20th century -- A.D.

My money is with the geophysists.

Mine is with the historians. :')

The Fulbright grant is supported by funding from Congress, Greece and the private sector.

Gee. And I thought the taxpayers paid for the money. Good to see that Congress is funding everything for this guy.
