Six articles, each setting out his reading of the evidence, including arguments that differ from the usual scholarship. The date on each one is the date of the article or the paper, not the day it was added to this site.
Climate and Ice Ages
Dust, albedo, and the pace of the ice ages
A 2016 paper with Michael Palmer. Late-Pleistocene ice ages, they argue, are paced by precession and regulated by dusty ice sheets. Carbon dioxide is not, in their account, the main feedback.
Jesus and Edessa
The elephant mosaic at Huqoq is read as a meeting in AD 65 between King Izates-Manu VI of Edessa and the high priest, rather than as Alexander or an Antiochus.
Jesus and Edessa
A Sogmatar inscription of the Seleucid year 476 is read as a seat kept at the Edessan necropolis, and the article asks whether that seat is the biblical ark.
Climate and Ice Ages
A 2016 paper with Michael Palmer. Late-Pleistocene ice ages, they argue, are paced by precession and regulated by dusty ice sheets. Carbon dioxide is not, in their account, the main feedback.
Arthurian Britain, Jesus and Edessa
A Nazarene use of the zodiac is traced into Arthurian legend, and read in the Round Table.
Jesus and Edessa
The gospel events are placed in the AD 60s, and the king in that history is a king of Edessa in northern Syria.
Egypt and the Exodus
From Genesis 2:10, the river of Eden is read as the Nile, and the garden and the Tower of Babel are placed in Egypt rather than in Mesopotamia.
