May be, but he brings to the table what the other professional
"charlatans"
with their own political or academic biases don't. No one is afraid of
ideas or theories if their own position is well founded or absolute.
New that David brings to the table not seen before is that imagery found
at
Megiddo of potentially Solomon on the throne with his Egyptian wife. I
think that certainly is possible. Why not? I hadn't seen that before.
But
I'd heard there's no mention of Solomon basically in other records.
He also notes a royal architect list that is quite unusual that confirms
Darius II had been co-ruler with his father Artaxerxes.
He also provided an RC14 chart that showed that basically compared to
dendrochronology the RC14 dating deviates consistently and gradually
upward
after about 1000 BC. Now that was helpful. It means RC14 dating is less
accurate for times earlier than that, but that times later than that are
deemed quite accurate. So that's a nice little cherry for the 871 BCE
dating I'm promoting as closest to the "true date" for ****shak's invasion.
