...in 2013, the Japanese Professor Fusa Miyake analysed individual tree rings and found a spectacular spike in carbon-14 content in the year 775. 'When you find wood at an archaeological site from that period, you can look for the spike by measuring the carbon-14 content of subsequent tree rings,' explains Kuitems. The spike tells you which tree ring grew in the year 775. And when the sample includes the bark, it is even possible to determine when the tree was felled. This approach was used to analyse a beam taken from the very foundation of the Por-Bajin complex. The sample that they used had 45 rings, followed by the bark. Measurements showed that the spike that dated to the year 775 was present in the 43rd ring.
Russian archaeologists previously reported that the entire complex was completed in a very short time, about two years. Por-Bajin is situated on an island in a lake and it was determined that the trees came from the surrounding area. 'We are fairly certain that they were felled for the construction of the complex, and it is therefore highly likely that construction took place around 777.' Previously, the site had been dated to 750, based on a runic inscription on a monument called the 'Selenga Stone', which described the construction of a large complex. In 750, Bayan-Chur Khan ruled the Uyghurs. He was married to a Chinese princess and this may explain why some Chinese influences were found in the Por-Bajin complex. 'However, previous radiocarbon dating attempts already suggested that the buildings might be slightly younger.'
In the year 777, Tengri Bögü Khan was in charge. He had converted to Manichaeism, a gnostic religion that was strongly opposed. Indeed, Bögü Khan was killed during an anti-Manichaean rebellion in 779.

This is an aerial view of Por-Bajin from the west. The complex is situated on an island in a lake. Scientists have pinned its construction on the year 777 CE, using a special carbon-14 dating technique, based on sudden spikes in the carbon-14 concentration.

Carbon 14? Does it come from ancient SUV emissions?
The original contract date was 775, but the project was delayed due to sub-vendor delays and additional change orders from the owner. It is the first recorded municipal contract where liquidated damages were assessed against the general contractor.
A huge solar flare or a super nova with a gamma ray burst are the likely cause. It would have zapped their SUV’s electronics.
No wonder the ancient SUVs were abandoned. Stoopid electronics.
Ancient solar emissions.
Curious; what would cause such a spike? {Wasn't there a super nova in our region of the cosmos about that time?} How does such a spike effect carbon-14 dating in general, and around the world?

And others say the super nova; I tend towards the larger cosmic event - but what do I know? Let the Transformers work it all out.
They need to start by giving the correct year, A.D.777
