Over the past decade, archaeologists and scientists have collected and analyzed carbon samples from archaeological strata dating from 3,000 years ago-the time of the biblical kings of King David’s dynasty. Now, the results are finally in. What it revealed is a stunning overlap between biblical history and who built what in Jerusalem during the time of the biblical kings.
On today’s program, host Brent Nagtegaal goes through the key takeaways of the study and its connection to the Bible.

No it's not lol! Abraham couldn't have used camels as pack animals since domestication of camels occurred around 1200 BC, NOT 2,000 BC. Abraham could have only used donkeys and this is only one of the many inaccuracies! The reason for this error is due to when the Torah was written and nobody at the time knew anything about their past. The Torah and other books were written through the eyes of people 600 to 800 years after the Exodus, that could have done not occurred in 1209 BC! Think of how medieval artists created images of Biblical times using clothes and building styles from their time. People of the past didn't have archaeology or any clue how life was during the time they wrote about. The original Torah wasn't finalized until Ezra, who harmonized the various sources which are called Jahwist, Elohist, Priestly Source, and DTR 1 & 2. The process began with Josiah's scribes after the Book of the Law was found during renovations of the Temple which was Deuteronomy and is called DTR1 by scholars, which dates to the 10th century BC. The reforms of Josiah occurred after 622 BC, 2Kings 22:18. If anyone tells you the Bible was passed down from Moses until now, unmolested and every word is true, they are uneducated liars. Too many Christians are indoctrineated into this myth and then you're told it's Satanic to analyze the physical history of the Bible. I suggest you ignore anyone telling you this and read about the physical history of the Bible! You can't read the original Hebrew and your KJV is a fourth generation translation. Every translation is an interpretation! I can spend a week straight talking about the issues with the Bible both your version and mine. Get the book WHO WROTE THE BIBLE? BY RICHARD ELLIOT FRIEDMAN which will give you the basics about the evolution of the Torah. There's an Audible book the works with Kindle. So you can listen to books while you do other things! If you refuse to learn about the physical history of the Bible, then enjoy your ignorance!

I totally agree with how the radiometric data supports the Biblical witness. I just wanted to clarify to viewers that you are assuming and utilizing the reigns of Hebrew Kings according to the Thiele school of chronology (just as most everyone else) to correlate and fit into the results. However, I try to convince anyone who will listen that a better case can be made for a chronology based on the Lucianic text of the LXX. In terms of absolute chronology, the Old Greek chronology would put the reign of Jehoash 880-840 BC, and so he would be the more likely builder during the early ninth century in Judah. Also, turns out "the earthquake" dated to ~760 BC is a more complicated consideration because, based on paleoseismic evidence from the Dead Sea area, Marco and Agnon supported TWO significant earthquakes during the mid‐8th century B.C. Those authors give appropriate ranges of dates for the two quakes. Yet, based on other considerations, (such as the testimony of Josephus regarding Uzziah's leprosy near the end of his reign and it relation to the earthquake) it is likely that the second quake was the one noted by Amos and this occurred near the end of Uzziah's reign sometime during 763-760 BC time frame in the Old Greek (Lucianic) absolute chronology of the Kings.

@todddavidmoore Long ago as a bumpkin teenager in the bush I stumbled across a big, fat, old library book which was a tremendously complex reconciliation of three ancient chronologies: Egyptian, Jewish and I cannot recollect the other culture (Greek?). As I was utterly unlettered it shocked me that there was so much uncertainty and wiggle-room on what I had till then assumed were firmly fixed and established facts. Hence the use of regnal dates as described in this video to calibrate “physical” data makes me acutely uneasy when such very fine discrimination is claimed. But hey, what do I know: I’m no academic, just a Deplorable scrabbling round down here amongst the dirt and detritus of commonday happenstance. What I do find heartening though is the flood of detailed, closely scrutinised data and scholarship since back when I was foolishly trying to evade my class status.

I'm aware that geological dating is often a contest, as there are variables to consider. Do I have the following correct? A known-dated event, with a carbon sample of the event and area is taken. It's preferable to have associated supporting date verification, pottery, coins,or dated ostrica etc.. That sample becomes a comparable to any newer samples. It become a date provenance of a sort. This starts a database of "known" reference dates as a comparison index for further samples.

Carbon dating is a very precise measurement technique with a few huge assumptions built in. An undisturbed sample with carbon can be sampled for relative quantities of Carbon 14. Carbon 14 in the atmosphere is expected to be a given fraction of all the carbon due to solar radiation (assumption number 1) and presume it will always be the same ratio due solar radiation and presume solar radiation doesn’t fluctuate (categorically false). Then presume the carbon from the atmosphere is absorbed by plants and then it is eaten by an animal, then the animal dies then the animal’s horn is untouched for a long time, some of the carbon 14 will break down, then then we can date the horn based on how much carbon 14 remains.

They carbon dated one of the earliest manuscripts of the Quran. Because of its' importance It went to several different labs for testing and their dates varied by several hundreds of years. Carbon dating is not as accurate as people are led to believe. Scholars will understandably defend their lifetime's work to their last breath and each one has their followers.

Yeah, it depends on the sample and human error can really screw it up. You normally get a date range and a percentage certainty from the lab. The actual result could be dated AD 1200-1350 with 60% certainty but when it's presented it's written 1275 and the +/- 75 years (in this example) often gets overlooked by the audience and the press sometimes leave it out all together. You do three of those and you can get points all over the board even with a good methodology if the sample is a bit inconsistent

Ancient history is essential for everyone to know, especially the sixteen original civilizations… from the sixteen grandsons of Noah. Learn ancient history before trying to learn science. 1. The first inhabitants of Italy (K) Tubal 2. Thracians (L) Tiras 3. Siberians (N) Meshek 4. East Asians (O) Magog 5. Medes (PQ) Madai 6.. Western Europeans (R) Gomer 7. Mediterranean Greek sea people (T) Javan 8. Hebrews and Arabic (IJ) Arphaxad 9. Elamites (H) Elam 10. Assyrians (G) Asshur 11. Arameans (F1) Aram 12. Lydians (F2) Lud 13. Cushites (AB, C) Cush 14. Egyptians (E3) Mitzrayim 15. Canaanites (E2, D) Canaan 16. Original North African Phoenicians (E1) Phut The D haplogroup descendants of Canaan migrated east through Tibet all the way to Japan. The C haplogroup descendants of Nimrod migrated to South Asia, the Pacific, Mongolia and all the way to the Americas along with Q haplogroup descendants of Madai ancestor of the Medes. The A maternal mtDNA haplogroup belonging to the Semitic N lineage accompanied the Eurasian Q paternal haplogroup in the Americas. The C&D maternal haplogroups belonging to the Eurasian M lineage also accompanied the Atlantic crossing of the Q paternal haplogroup Medes to Central America. The Semitic B maternal haplogroup seems to have crossed the Pacific Ocean to South America. The Mediterranean paternal R1b and the maternal X2a also found in Galilee represent an Atlantic crossing of the Phoenicians in the days of King Solomon considering also the Mediterranean paternal haplogroups of T, G, I1, I2, J1, J2, E and B in addition to the R1b in Native American Populations. J1 and J2 is Arabs and Jews. (I1 is Dan, I2 is Asher) Of course there is also the Cohen modal haplotype of J1 P58 as well which identifies the IJ lineage of Hebrews and Arabs that are descended from Arphaxad. J2 M172 is the descendants of the House of David and Solomon.
