Iron chariots
Iron age / bronze age. It had never struck me before but Israel spans the divide
between the two dominating technologies.
There is lots of discussion about the kingdoms as described in scripture and the
dating of archilogical sites.
It turns out with improvements in radio carbon dating, they can show a certain
dating of cities and wars confirms the biblical narrative.
This is ironic when creationists tend to slag off this method of dating.
But I could also be wrong, it was just an impression I got from reading one
paper on digs from 2003-2005.
On this subject, I wonder about one pharoah who suddenly changed their multi-god
faith to a single god faith. What do you think the impact in Egypt would have been
of Israel leaving with the plagues. They are not going to write down their humbling,
but it might get them thinking, opps maybe we got the God thing a bit wrong.
Iron chariots got me thinking, lol.
