Evidence
« on: March 10, 2013, 08:51:07 PM »
I think perhaps it would be useful to have an 'evidence' thread, incuding the info about Egypt, C14 and other dating methods, geological info et al, so it is available to refer to when the creationists echo their unfounded assertions.

There's been some really useful and interesting posts and links, and it would be a shame to lose them.

Please note, only peer-reviewed, scientifically accepted information, logical conclusions, or links to these.

No assertion, discussion or argument. If you wish to discuss a post on this thread, start a new thread.

Here's a site I use a lot.
It gives up-to-date info on what's happening on the Egyptology front

I know this is slightly off topic, but it bursts a few bubbles as far as the most famous mask in history goes.
It is presented by a well known Egyptologist, and sheds some light on the Akhenaten/Amarna period.
A bit long, but worth a watch.

An interesting perspective in the Thera/Santorini eruption, leading to the fall of Minoan Crete and the dating of several chronoligies using geology and foundation deposit archaeology.

Sorry, folks, I'm not sure what you're on about. All I know is that my screenreader deals with the address OK.
I apologise for the inconvenience; I'll try to find a more acceptable, academic discussion with an easy-access address.
Again, apologies.

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
