>What about that date (722BC) interests you?

That is the approximate date the Northern Kingdom was taken into captivity by the Assyrians. Actually, the captivity took place in waves and was spread over a number of years, but that single date is most often cited as a reference point. How that evacuation of millions of people might tie in with tree rings seems obscure to me at this point.

I would speculate that 610 BC, when they escaped bondage and 5 Million headed north through the Caucasus Mountains to soon be discovered by history as The Celts might have a better chance at having a tie to a catyclism. Sort of like being sprung from prison following an earthquake???

You may be suprised. 2-3 Chinese dynasties collapsed concident with the tree ring 'event' dates. Okay, I don't see anything in the tree ring data for 722BC or 600BC. I will keep the dates in my mind and alert you if I come across anything centered around those dates.
