Carbon-14 dating is based on the radioactive decay of the atmospheric carbon-14 atoms taken up by living organisms while they were growing.
Calibrations and verifications of the method are based on many sources, and the overall correlations are discussed in the above paper. Historical documents that are not exact on date are not good enough for this work, it is based on systems that produce known dates, such as annual tree-rings and the like.
What you have is a fantasy. Whether you are open to being wrong is up to you, but I note:
quote:We however see reappearing the names of Pompéi, Herculanum and Stabies in works quite former to their discovery. One reads in the history written in IXe century by the Martin monk that in 838, Sicard, prince de Bénévent, camped with its army in Pompeio campo which has Pompeia urbe Campania nunc deserta nomen accepit. Since 1488, Niccolo Perotto makes mention of these cities in its Cornucopia; Sannazar speaks about Pompéi in its Arcadia (Prosa, XII), whose first edition appeared in 1504; in the chart of Ambrogio Leone, 1513, one finds marked with the place that Portici Herculaneum Oppidum occupies; Leandro Alberti (Descrizione di tutta Italia, 1561) points out the towns of Herculanum, Pompéi and Stabies, buried by Vesuvius, indicating the site where at that time one believed that they had existed; in Historia Neapolitana de Giulio Cesare Capaccio, published in 1607, one reads a chapter devoted to antiquities of Herculanum; Camillo Pellegrino (Apparato alle antichit di Capua, 1651) known as, while speaking about the town of Herculanum, which one thinks that it occupied the current site of Torre del Greco; the gazetteer of Baudran, 1682, mentions the destroyed cities; in 1688, Francesco Bolzano published Antico Ercolano ovvero Torre del Greco tolta dall' obblio, admittedly placing Herculanum in a place very different from true; finally in 1689, an excavation made on the site of Pompéi made find some fragments of locks and a stone where word POMPEI was read; only one concludes from it that there was a villa of Pumped.
color for emphasis. ... reads a lot like elcano ...
I like the last one . I agree that this refers to the cities as destroyed and to their likely locations
I just googled the name 'Sicard, prince of Benevent' and found the reference by the author Breton which elcano cited. Looks like we both got the same whacy one;
I used the original quote and ran it through the babelfish translator
