Can We Trust Those Carbon-14 Dates?

About this episode

The carbon-14 dating method developed by Willard Libby requires calibration against historical artifacts, but it lacks reliable calibration markers beyond 5,000 years. Libby himself noted that early Egyptian dates were likely calibrated five centuries too old, a discrepancy that actually aligns with the biblical Exodus timeline. Because of these foundational limitations, carbon-14 dating carries severe and unrecognized problems for ancient dates.
