"Zahi Hawass, Egyptian archeologist and secretary-general of the Egyptian Supreme Council for Antiquities, strongly disagrees with the use of carbon dating in archeology."
Carbon-14 dating has a margin of error of 100 years. In order to date Egyptian dynasties, we need to have specific dates; you cannot use carbon dating,” Hawass explained to Al-Masry Al-Youm. “This technique shouldnt be used at all in making changes to the chronology of the ancient Egypt, not even as a helpful addition.
You have your opinion about Hawass’ authority; meanwhile, the article linked there merely ends with Zowie’s kooky talk, while a real (as opposed to bureaucratic) Egyptologist welcomes the study. But go ahead and saddle on Zahi Hawass’ ignorant statement because it seems to fit into some preconceived and baseless notion.
