Letter: Dating desired

Published 29 October 1994

From DAVID BILLINGE

Re Alistair McFarlane’s letter about the dating of the Queen of Sheba’s
visit to Solomon (8 October), can I simply point out that a similar point was
made in 1953 by the much mistreated Emmanuel Velikovsky (Ages in Chaos,
Chapter 3). He convinced me years ago. I therefore join McFarlane in awaiting
a carbon dating of those seeds.
