Kenyon's dating was based entirely on pottery she found at the site, not unreliable "carbon dating". She based her date on "what she expected to find" rather than "what WAS found" in the Tell. She failed to see all the "evidence". Poor Kenyon gets an F

Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus (2015)

The results of Kathleen Kenyon, by whatever means, was confirmed to be correct, and proven conclusively to have been correct by the 'HIGH PRECISION' radiocarbon dating test on 18 samples from Jericho, including six samples of carbonized cereal from the burnt stratum, in 1995 by Hendrik J. Bruins and Johannes van der Plicht. The results of these tests gave the age of the strata as 1562 BC, with a margin of error of 38 years, confirming Kathleen Kenyon's results which still stand today, and proving that Josephus the Historian was also correct in revealing that the Israelites departed Egypt in 1567 B.C.
Again I ask you, on what scripture do you base your date of the Exodus? Exodus 12: 40, which states that the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years to the very day. Or do you base your date of the exodus on Pauls statement in Galatians 3: 17; which claims that they was a period of 430 years from the day that God first made his covenant with Abraham, until the day that he gave the Law through his prophet Moses, or perhaps you base your belief of the time of the Exodus, on the Hebrew Septuagint, which says that there was a period of 430 years from the day when Abraham moved into the land of Hams son 'Canaan' until the day his descendants left Egypt?
If you believe exodus 12: 40; that the Israelites were slaves in Egypt for 430 years to the day, then you would be looking for a date some 215 years after the Septuagint claims that the Israelites left Egypt.
As to the reason why I do not open links or videos, it is because the time I can allow myself to sit at the computer, is very limited and precious to me, and I am not going to waste that time listening to idiotic so-called experts who haven't got a clue as to what they are talking about.
Does your champion Have radiocarbon tests that disprove those of Hendrik J. Bruins and Johannes van der Plicht in 1995 the results of which gave the age of the strata as 1562 BC, with a margin of error of 38 years, confirming Kathleen Kenyon's results which still stand today, and proving that Josephus the Historian was also correct in revealing that the Israelites departed Egypt in 1567 B.C.
When your champion can prove scientifically that Jericho was not destroyed some 40 years after the Israelite shepherd kings left Egypt, and not according to his erroneous belief of the time that he thinks the exodus occurred, come back.
For Kathleen Kenyon has confirmed the correct date of the destruction of Jericho, some 40 years after the biblical date of the exodus of Gods Son 'Israel' from Egypt.
Your champion has the bull by the udder, in his attempt to prove the biblical date of the exodus, is wrong.
