"In the American southwest studies done using pack rat nests and bristleconce pine trees have brought to light a weather time line more accurate than Mesopotamian scribes ever kept, a time line that goes back for about 10,000 years."

You are absolutely correct. Tree rings show worldwide catastrophic events at 3195BC, 2354BC, 1628BC, 1159BC and 540AD. (two less events at 207BC and 44BC) Mike Baillie (below) is my guy.

Thanks, blam, to the professor's page. I just love that sort of thing. My all-time favorite book is "Roadcut Geology of Oregon". Sadly it was never a best seller.
