That or the Architect just keeps trying new versions of the Matrix. This would be the 5th attempt?  |
Babel? For real?
While historians, anthropologists, archaeologists and other scientists may not be able to pinpoint which day of the week certain historical events occurred on, there are multiple, independent, lines of evidence providing experts comfort in proposed date for historical events.
It is not just radio-carbon dating, but vastly different techniques such as stratigraphy, dendrochronology, linguistics and genetics can all be used to estimate dates for historical events and/or artifacts.
What's amazing is how well they all correlate.
Events such as Noah's Ark, Babel, the garden of Eden have no grounding in any of the empirical sciences.
