Hi Sterling, all, You can set the biblical account off to one side.
The destruction of the Hittite King Hantilishi (Te'hantilishi, Tantalus) and his appenage forces ca. 1585 BCE is well attested in contemporary writings. (Yes, man was literate then.) See the notes in the following series for detailed citations of them: On the Joshua impact event http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/ccc/cc032098.html http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/ccc/cc032598.html http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/ccc/cc033098.html http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/ccc/cc012102.html http://abob.libs.uga.edu/bobk/ccc/cc021202.html I joined the meteorite list trying to find out if any remains from this fall had been recovered in Israel. For devout Jews and Christians, this would be the ultimate hammer to possess. You can imagine the price per gram. E.P.
