| Abstract: |
In the past, ancient lunar observations have been used for
chronological purposes frequently. But during the last twenty years
their usefulness was questioned and even rejected. This paper deals
with the opportunities and drawbacks of such observations for
chronology. Their usefulness and drawbacks are demonstrated on a set
of fourty lunar observations from an ancient Egyptian city called
Illahun which was inhabited for about 100 years only (19th
century BC) during the so called Egyptian Middle Kingdom. |
