SunkenCiv and I have been fussing about this date for years now. I argue for an even older date of 1628BC as outlined in Mike Baillie's book Exodus To Arthur. Professor Baillie's tree-ring data indicate that Thera exploded in 1628BC.

If the date of the Exodus is moved back a couple hundred years (or perhaps even using your date), doesn't that allow proposing a settlement in the delta to be proposed as a Hebrew slave settlement?

Isn't one of the problems regarding the Exodus date a political one, with biblical minimalists trying to dismiss the existence of Hebrews in Egypt altogether?

My favorite book on Biblical chronology, written by Frank Klassen in 1975 puts the date of the exodus at 1462 BC. I would like to see this documentary be true.

Interesting article.Book sounds interesting too.

What artifact are they claiming is the Ark?

I think Baillie's date is the right one, too. His arguments are very good.

"I think it is a mistake when you have a situation in archeology where some academics have set themselves up as some sort of priesthood between us and the Bible," he added.

This line is the most ironic I've read in a while. Whatever you do, don't let academics get between a would-be priest preaching his version of events, his own priests and their doctrine and the Bible itself.

As some of you already know, this topic has fascinated me for some time. I have approached it because of my interest in volcanic impact on human history. About 4 years ago I concluded that the correct date was in the early half of the 1400's BC, and related to the 18th dynasty. Thera is too early, but there was a major eruption of Mt. Etna, listed as 1500, + or - 50 years. I have tried to find out more about this eruption, but only know that it left a huge bowl in the side of the mountain a la Mt. St. Helens. It is called the Valle de Boveda(sp?) and I sure wish someone had more precise information on the eruption date.

It is 2 pm, and I haven't had breakfast yet. I'll be back late tonight or tomorrow with more to say on this fascinating subject. Does anyone have a contact address on Jacobovici?
