Earnest:
Archaeomagnetic data says nothing about the date in itself, but can be used for establishing whether destruction events happened at the same time.
Incorrect. The study applied the use of archaeomagnetic intensity data and other data to correlate the timing of burn sites, and that method does not establish the date itself. But the archaeomagnetic intensity data itself - represented by the shaded curving band in the graph - does invalidate 993 as a valid date for the destruction of Beth-Shean. Of course, I don’t need to rely on that fact though, because all the other evidence already establishes that the Watch Tower Society chronology is wrong.

Which means it definitely wasn’t in 993 BCE, which remains incompatible with the archaeomagnetic intensity data. 🤦‍♂️

Whilst it is true that the intensity of some of the archaeomagnetic levels used as anchors does not conclusively invalidate the dating offered by the Watch Tower Society, the dating for Beth-Shean does. The study says that event occurred around 900 BCE, but that would be 968 in Watch Tower Society chronology. Note that the levels that would be required for the Watch Tower Society's reckoning of the Tevet VII, Rehov V and Beth-Shean events fall well outside the higher band (yellowish shading) of the archaeomagnetic levels at that time.
900 BCE is the latest date given for the "70-100" years before 830 offered by the study for the destruction of Beth-Shean, which it says was destroyed during the reign of Shoshenq (ruled 943-922 BCE). According to WTS chronology, Shoshenq reigned around 1011-990 BCE, and Insight (volume 1, page 304) says Beth-Shean was destroyed in 993 BCE - for which the archaeomagnetic intensity levels are even more wrong.

I already explained that Watch Tower Society chronology of earlier events diverges to 68 years at the beginning of the divided kingdom rather than simply remaining a difference of 20 years, which requires placement of various events that are inconsistent with results found by the geomagnetic dating method even if the anchor point were simply moved to 607.

The original premise of the thread was incorrect because the method doesn’t establish the date of Jerusalem’s destruction. But I have also already pointed out that the method disproves Watch Tower Society chronology for earlier events in the Iron Age. And I further showed that you’re also wrong about the 70 years (which was initially brought up in this thread by you). And I didn’t say Jeremiah didn’t write Jeremiah (unless you think ‘Jeremiah’ is an unusual spelling of ‘Leviticus’ 😒), which doesn’t say anything about the land paying sabbaths. So you’ve been thoroughly trounced on every aspect. You can go now.

🤣
Of course, I’ve already demonstrated that the parenthetical statement about paying off sabbaths is from Leviticus. But even if this doofus could provide any evidence of his claim, the same passage in 2 Chronicles, consistent with Jeremiah’s direct statements about the 70 years, say it ended when Persia conquered Babylon, not later when (some of) the Jews returned from exile.
Poor lame apologists 🙄

Oh, you’re still here. 😒 Still waiting for your evidence for your claim about Jeremiah mentioning the land paying off sabbaths. 😂

What are you on about? (That’s rhetorical, I don’t really care.) An emoji isn't a ‘fallacy’ of any kind. Watch Tower’s self-published dogma is mostly ignored and otherwise criticised by experts in all relevant fields. Just go away.

Every part of what you just said is wrong. Keenly awaiting your evidence that Jeremiah said anything about the land paying its sabbaths though. 😂🙄
