This month we're all discussing Daniel's carbon dating... and AI. Two highly controversial tastes that taste [like poo] together.
Carbon-dating is a nightmare the further back you get. Qurân parchment-ologists already had problems with clearly-Umayyad scrips of that sacred book. How are Dead Sea Scrolls more credible?
Anyway: this side of Daniel does seem early. I recall its "prediction" of the Maccabees is more-accurate than that of our 1 Maccabees. The Masoretes likely knew it: such they permitted Daniel in the Writings but not the other one, until these days of Zionist backtranslation. The Greek Daniel appears to be a rewrite.
But preMaccabean? Come on now.
BACKDATE 1/26
