Chilean Mummies dates from 3000-5000BCE . How do they fit into the Biblical timetable?

[BenJepthah]

Since these burials appear to coincide with the pre to immediate post flood period how to we explain them being intact and so very far from a he land of Biblical record?

[Thesauron]

Since you’ve not proved any background in these remains, or what kind of dating was used, it is hard to say very much.

Of coarse I haven’t proved the dates ( how could I) but assuming accurate forensic dating has been used. The same methods used to date Biblical archaeology. Then what?

Topics in the news forums need to have a link to the piece of journalism that serves as the basis of discussion 😉

Is there such a thing as accurate forensic dating? Really?

Well, you gave a statement and provided no background. What type of mummies are these, and how have they been dated? Where and how were they found? By whom?

This may be the article. They are claiming they have the oldest mummies, not Egypt.

That’s the article.

They settled in a desert?

There were deserts before the flood?

I don't recall reading in the Bible that deserts came about only after the Flood.

No direct dating method is accurate for biological remains older than two or three thousand years. Egyptian and Mesopotamian artifacts are dated to 3000 BCE and even older. Human fossils have been dated as old as 2 million years old. Obviously those measurements are flawed.

 

I don't know anything about those mummies or how they were dated, but usually dating of historical remains implies a lot of subjective speculation.

The people appear to have settled along a coastal plain with an adjacent desert. But I would guess that it wasn’t the desert it is today. The Sahara is said to have been transformed beginning at about the same time from a lush grassland to its current state  ( National Geographic has speculated that the earths orbit shifted at this time//the time we more or less identify as the flood ). Go figure.

Just curious ... did they find and date any "Daddies" ... or only "Mummies"? What about children?

That is the problem with taking some of these things as "fact"

Speculated was my word. But interestingly enough their proposed earth orbit shift is right on cue for the great flood.
