To: what's up
"If the charred grain is under the walls of Jericho, that would mean a fire took place before Joshua. May not the fire have been in 1628? The Exodus could still have happened, thus, in 1440 BC."The grain and the 1628BC ash layer were both under the collapsed wall. The 1450BC date for Exodus is based on the Egyptian Kings List...and more and more researchers are finding that the list is flawed.

I understand the 1628 ash layer and grain are under the wall. What is your point in saying that?

The 1450BC date for Exodus is *not* based on the Egyptian Kings List; the date is traditional, calculated from the events and generations of the Exodus to the time of the Kingdom of David.
