Sometime after 1200 BCE, civilization collapsed, and a dark age prevailed.
The Late Bronze Age collapse of societies throughout the Levant, the Near East and the Mediterranean some 3,200 years ago has been a mystery. Powerful, advanced civilizations disappeared, seemingly overnight. Now an archaeologist believes he has figured out what lay behind the cataclysm.
The trigger seems to have been the invasion of ancient Egypt in 1177 BCE by marauding peoples known simply as the “Sea Peoples,” as recorded in the Medinet Habu wall relief at Ramses III' tomb. The relief depicts a sea battle (and also carts full of supplies, women and children, something that always puzzled researchers. Why would the women and children have been at a sea battle, and why were there chariots? Did they bring them on ships as well?) The foreigners were depicted wearing distinct head gear....

By the time Ramses the Great [sic] was born, Moses had been dead for centuries.
The Exodus took place at the end of the Middle Kingdom, right at the time of the takeover of Egypt by the Hyksos, a.k.a. the Amalekites.
And your point is...?

One of the most “common” definitions of common is “2.

I think that is apt for the people trying to erase Jesus Christ from history.
I've always read it, and heard it, as "Before Current Era", which fits with the original BC/AD time lines.
Not terms we're used to or prefer, but accurate enough;
Still, it's academic PC revisionism.
The Minoan Eruption at Thera. There's always been some speculation that Thera is the source of the stories of Atlantis, that people left the island, and the sailors out at sea spread the civilization to many corners of the earth. It ties a lot together. There's speculation that the Phoenicians are from that civilization, and they're the "sea people" who appeared in so many places.
This speculation ties a lot of things together.

' Everyone will now be mobilised and all boys old enough to carry a spear will be sent to Addis Ababa '

The Downfall of Egypt and —
The Amalekites of the Bible!

The Egyptian king-lists at Abydos in Upper Egypt completely ignore a period of almost 500 years, and jump from King Amenemhet IV of the 12th Dynasty to King Aahmes of the 18th — why?

Read about the inscriptions on the el-Arish stone and the traditions recorded by the Islamic historians, and how a devastated Egypt was INVADED WITHOUT A FIGHT by armies from the “east.”
No worries

Considering that 2/3rds of the world is not Christian why in the heck should a newspaper for a nonChristian nation feel obliged to the minority for something so arbitrary as what year it is? Just be lucky it wasnt in Jewish time or some other religions calender.
