Did they date the wood from the ship or its cargo?
The ship could have been 50 years old when it sank........................
If the ship sank in 290, it would have been during the reign of Ptolemy I. If in 280, it would have been during the reign of Ptolemy II, who supposedly commissioned the Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures.
Geez no wonder it sank ......
Ummm...time travel?
“...the ship took its final voyage around 280 B.C., at least a decade later than previous dating had indicated.”
Sounds like they merely substituted one wild-assed-guess with another.
