[Tell It Right]

Sometimes in church when we have informal discussions about Bible history, I pull up the graph below, which was constructed a decade or so ago by studying ice cores in Greenland. It corresponds to many climate history graphs I remember that used to be push by climatologist, even at NASA, before Al Gore in the 1990's changed science research money to required results that correspond to his wishes. That's why new graphs tend to pretend that the warming periods over the past few thousand years never existed and our Modern Warm Period is somehow unique (hockey stick graph).

To me it's fascinating that what us Bible geeks often refer to as the Era of Judges almost exactly corresponds to the Minoan Warm Period. Era of Kings = Greek Dark Age cooling period. Jesus and the apostles lived in the Roman Warm Period.

When that topped out around AD 300 and moved into the Dark Age cooling period that lasted centuries, that's when the Huns migrated west-southwest and forced out the Germanic Goth tribes. Those goths took over what was left of the western Roman Empire through sheer numbers and cultural migration (like we have today from our southern border). The Huns kept moving in, forcing the Goths out of Rome and into modern day German, forcing out other Germanic tribes like the Anglos and Saxons. (Yes, the ancestors of most whites in the U.S. had their own Trail of Tears in a prior cooling period.) If the Dark Age cooling period hadn't lowered crop yields and made rain patterns harder to predict, the Huns may have never started the migration domino effect and the Anglos might still today be living in Germany.

That’s “cool” (no pun intended).
