A Cornell University team led by Sturt Manning, Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences in Classics and director of the Tree-Ring Laboratory, used dendrochronology and a form of radiocarbon dating called wiggle-matching to pinpoint, with 95% probability, the years in which an ancient wooden structure s two main components were created: a lower tank in 1444 B.C., and an upper tank in 1432 B.C. Each date has a margin of error of four years. ....

Up until now, scientists weren’t really sure what that meant for the planet’s environment or climate, or thought it had little effect.

They think those changes may have been behind the extinction of really large animals and Neanderthal humans, as well as the advent of human cave art and the first sunsc ....
