- jazzyjackson 5y agoFunny, ancient Egypt has the same issue!
- twic 5y agoActually, from the Nat Geo article it seems this is a case where that is not true: > Though the size of the city has yet to be determined, its date is clear thanks to hieroglyphics on a variety of items. A vessel containing two gallons of boiled meat was inscribed with the year 37 — the time of Amenhotep III and Akhenaten’s speculated father-son reign. Therefore i'm afraid i must condemn your joke as inaccurate.
- jazzyjackson 5y agoI stand by my joke, as everything is dated according to the current pharaoh, but it’s not like they signed their letters with the position of the planets - the dates relative to today are reconstructed in various ways as one pharaoh being so many years after another. The wiki on Egyptian Chronology explains various scenarios where the dates have had to be changed sometimes by hundreds of years according to new evidence: https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_chronology https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Egyptian_chronology
