Thanks FarCenter, nice twofer. Blam, Sturt Manning.
Cline did a long Twitter thread yesterday on the significance of the Nature article:

Would that be the drought that caused the famine in Canaan and Jacob and sons moved to Egypt where Joseph was Governor?..............
I’ve seen various iterations of this talk and agree this one is pretty good summary and covers all the bases of his hypothesis.
Sure, but the hypothesis is dead wrong, as is his timeline.
No.
Before or after?...................
This three year drought was long after.
Yes, this is a very informative presentation.
SunkenCiv, are you saying Eric Cline’s timeline is all wrong? If so, where and by how much? Does it affect his basic accounting of the “Collapse,” which seems to be well accepted by the academic community? AND, what exactly is Cline’s, hypothesis? To the extent he expounds a hypothesis, isn’t it simply that there were multiple causes of this great 12th Century BC disruption?
I have a general knowledge of this area of antiquity, however, my curiosity outweighs my knowledge. Your comments and opinions are wanted.

Good link. Interesting. Thanks.
The Pago volcanic eruption at 1370±100 BC, is a possible cause of global cooling and drought. Although it appears to be too early, the dating is not very precise. It was a VEI 6 eruption with a volume of 30 cubic kilometers.

Hekla in Iceland has also been proposed, but it is later, quite a bit smaller, and not near the equator.
Nice.
That’s what I was thinking of when I said every state should have one.
There was one in Louisiana that we used to go to when I was young.
But I think the song was written about one in California. Not sure how many others there are.
thanks for this post. the book was great and i didnt know this lecture was out there
