“Similar techniques used on wood buried beneath volcanic ash allowed Manning and others to date the Santorini volcanic eruption, one of the largest in the last 10,000 years, as most likely occurring in the late 17th century B.C., 100 years earlier than previously believed. “
Given that Santorini has been linked to the miracles in Exodus, wonder how this new time line fits in with Biblical scholars?
