...but if we go further, say to Finland, to the stone carvings that have been dated through modern techniques to be at least 7,200 years old, we find the very same story of Lot's wife in the petroglyphs.

What is your source for this evidence? I can't seem to find any references to it, and I would like to examine the dating techniques.

Cordially,

They are not, for the most part, using radiocarbon dating on these. Rather, they rely on methods that evaluate the oxidation and other changes that occur in rock freshly exposed to the atmosphere over time.

It's the same sort of thing used with arrowheads and other stone tools.

There are several websites that discuss what seems to be the petroglyphs that explain the duties of a mother ~ one is to find husbands for her daughters.

That's the fundamental beat in the story of Lot ~ the mother's search for matches for her daughters, and her shiftless husband who ends up taking the whole family to a town full of homosexuals.

She is doomed!

I bet this one was a barnburner around the Friday evening campfires in the old days ~ it's actually got comedy routines in it ~ we can just see our late stone age ancestors laughing and rolling on the ground about this poor woman who's married to Lot.
