Radiocarbon dating of ancient Egyptian artifacts has allowed researchers to better determine the period when Pharaoh Nebpehtire Ahmose ruled.
This research also links the Egyptian chronology to the Thera (Santorini) volcanic eruption, providing a clearer timeline for both events. The eruption predates Pharaoh Ahmose's reign, offering crucial archaeological context.
“Radiocarbon analysis helped pinpoint the era of Pharaoh Nebpehtire Ahmose’s rule, aligning it with significant regional events like the Thera eruption.”
By precisely dating artifacts, scholars can cross-reference historical events and natural disasters, improving our understanding of ancient Egyptian history and its synchronization with other ancient Mediterranean happenings.
This study refines the timeline for Pharaoh Ahmose's rule, connecting it closely with the Thera eruption and enhancing the broader historical framework of the ancient world.
