In 1972, Huang went to Cambridge University and assisted Joseph Needham, who was more sympathetic to Huang's research approach, in Needham's monumental work on the history of Chinese science and technology.

He wanted to ask her about Jenkins now, but he knew he couldn't do so in Needham's presence.

Its name implies associations dating back to the time of Columba and, although undocumented before the 12th century, it may have served the monks of the Columban family as an ' Iona of the east ' from early times.

Kiernan ’ s argument against an early dating based on a mixture of forms is long and involved, but he concludes that the mixture of forms points to a comparatively straightforward history of the written text as:

This early dating is centered on the preterist interpretation of chapter 17, where the seven heads of the " beast " are regarded as the succession of Roman emperors up to the time of the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, Caligula through Vespasian.

The destruction of cities by foreign invaders, and its resulting catastrophic suffering, unfortunately, was very common in the ancient Near East and, therefore, we can observe examples of the lament form / genre concerning destroyed cities and temples from extra-biblical sources, particularly from early Sumerian Literature dating to the late third and early second millennia BC.

Carbon 14 dating of a cave at Laang Spean in northwest Cambodia reveals people who made pots were living in Cambodia as early as 4200 BCE ( Before the Common Era ).

An early published notice on him, dating from 1604 and describing his lifestyle three years previously, tells how " after a fortnight's work he will swagger about for a month or two with a sword at his side and a servant following him, from one ball-court to the next, ever ready to engage in a fight or an argument, so that it is most awkward to get along with him.

The Ediacara biota ( also called Vendian biota ) dating from 575 million years ago collectively constitutes a richly diverse assembly of early multicellular eukaryotes.

Since the early years of the twentieth century, absolute dating methods, such as radiometric dating ( including potassium / argon, argon / argon, uranium series, and, for very recent fossils, radiocarbon dating ) have been used to verify the relative ages obtained by fossils and to provide absolute ages for many fossils.
