Osgood and the Dating of Abraham? And I am Wrong on Fibonacci Table


1) Φιλολoγικά/Philologica : Osgood and the Dating of Abraham? And I am Wrong on Fibonacci Table · 2) Creation vs. Evolution : Recalibrating the Fibonacci Table, acc. to Abraham in Chalcolithic En Gedi · 3) If Göbekli Tepe is Tower of Babel ...

Osgood argues that Abraham was contemporaneous with Ghassulian (specifically Ghassulian IV) and with Jemdet Nasr.

c. 3800–c. 3350 BC Ghassulian refers to a culture and an archaeological stage dating to the Middle Chalcolithic Period in the Southern Levant (c. 3800–c. 3350 BC)
The dates for Ghassulian are dependent upon 14C (radiocarbon) determinations, which suggest that the typical later Ghassulian began sometime around the mid-5th millennium and ended ca. 3800 BC. The transition from Late Ghassulian to EB I seems to have been ca. 3800-3500 BC.


Osgood's argument for Ghassulian is related to En-Geddi.

3100–2900 BC - Jemdet Nasr
Although in older literature 3200–3000 BC can be found as the beginning and end dates of the Jemdet Nasr period, it is nowadays dated to 3100–2900 BC based on radiocarbon dating.


Osgood's argument for Jemdet Nasr is related to Chedorlaomer.

Ein Gedi
Neolithic

At Mikveh Cave archaeologists found Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) flint tools and an arrowhead.[citation needed] Chalcolithic

A Chalcolithic temple (ca. mid-fourth millennium BCE) belonging to the Ghassulian culture was excavated on the slope between two springs, Ein Shulamit and Ein Gedi. More Chalcolithic finds were made at the Moringa and Mikveh Caves.


This leaves either PPNA or c. 3500 BC as the periods relevant for Ein Gedi. If Osgood is wrong, it is PPNA.

Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) denotes the first stage in early Levantine and Anatolian Neolithic culture, dating around 11,500 to 10,000 BP.


If Abraham was in Ein Gedi during PPNA, he was contemporary with Göbekli Tepe. Any recalibration I or any other creationist makes, since in raw data, as interpreted by conventional (and erroneous) carbon date calibration.

What was, again, Osgoods argument for Jemdet Nasr?

Elam.

Knowledge of Elamite history remains largely fragmentary, reconstruction being based on mainly Mesopotamian (Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian and Babylonian) sources. The history of Elam is conventionally divided into three periods, spanning more than two millennia. The period before the first Elamite period is known as the proto-Elamite period:

Proto-Elamite: c. 3200 – c. 2700 BC (Proto-Elamite script in Susa)
Old Elamite period: c. 2700 – c. 1600 BC (earliest documents until the Eparti dynasty)
Middle Elamite period: c. 1500 – c. 1100 BC (Anzanite dynasty until the Babylonian invasion of Susa)
Neo-Elamite period: c. 1100 – 540 BC (characterized Assyrian and Median influence. 539 BC marks the beginning of the Achaemenid period.)


Ein Gedi "3500 BC" = proto-Elamite "3200 BC"?

If any part of Abraham's life* is to be dated "3500 BC" conventional, then my table is off by (c. 2241-1972*=) c. 269 real years for 3441 BC conventional dating.

If any part of Abraham's life is to be dated "3200 BC" conventional, then my table is off by c. 179 real years for 3083 BC conventional dating. The unit of time spans for my table.

If Osgood is right about Ein Gedi, it is probably the former, and he is probably wrong about Jemdet Nasr, it was an earlier part of Proto-Elamite.
