Drich (is Drippy a term of endearment?)-
I watched another documentary on Netflix about Jericho, and Dr. Bryant Wood features prominently in that film. Apparently, he is an expert in ancient pottery.
He claims that Kathleen Kenyon overlooked the pottery evidence regarding the dating of the fall of Jericho, but other websites state that Wood's own proposal for re-establishing the dates of Egypt's Old and New Kingdoms has been shot down. Yet, he features prominently in the Mahoney film.
Thoughts on this?
Additionally, would you say that there is an actual movement (or beginnings of a movement) to reassess the dating of the Egyptian kingdoms among mainstream Egyptologists in view of some of this research? Or are Mahoney, Wood, Aling, et al, really out in the wilderness academically?
Thanks.
