What is “BP?”

Missing the 'UR' from the middle.

I like to tell people BCE stands for "Before the Christian Era."

I’m sure folks using a different arbitrary dating system are impressed.

Dating things from a world influencing geological event would make more sense.
The Toba eruption comes to mind.

The DNA results would be interesting .

Touché

The link in post #8 might be of interest.

“The remains of other three saltmen known by numbers 3, 4 and 5, which were also victims of collapsed tunnels C14 testing have placed them in post-Achaemenid period (2245 BP).”

So, if they were found in 2005, are they now 2247 BP? ;)

And the salt mummies aren’t my fault.

What is “BP?”

Before Pepper.....??

Are they still dead?

[lexington minuteman 1775]

He also appears to be a blonde...nah I won’t go there!

[stylin19a]

I thought he was taller.

"I wasn’t aware that salt would preserve DNA. It seems that they would have to destroy a large portion of the sample at first glance, I could be mistaken."

Worst case is that the DNA would still be okay inside his teeth...under the enamel.

Your idea is a fine system which is akin to wire gauge.

Here are some other calendar systems.

Paardon my stupidity but what country is this.,p>That's not stupidity, it's ignorance. We are all ignorant only about different things.
The problem is that some clueless Freepers simply assume that all other Freepers are Rennaissance people.

I believe it's Northern China.

[Publius6961]

If you follow the link, it suggests Iran. But you shouldn't need to do that to know.
Archeological news about anywhere can originate somewhere else.

“Blood Pressure” - that’s what these guys died of - High Blood Pressure...

Blond Attic(?)slave in the salt mines.

Leave ‘em where they drop.

Nothing is more irritating that the switch to BCE and CE instead of BC and AD.
