Historical note.
The Kingdom of Jerusalem lasted 1096 - 1291. Though in it's latter stages, it was only a thin coastal strip, not including Jerusalem itself.
That is the model the non-Jews are following - does Benny recognise this? I doubt it.
Researchers identify largest ever solar storm in ancient 14,300-year-old tree rings
News Release 9-Oct-2023 University of Leeds
An international team of scientists have discovered a huge spike in radiocarbon levels 14,300 years ago by analysing ancient tree-rings found in the French Alps.
[snip]
Nine such extreme solar storms – known as Miyake Events – have now been identified as having occurred over the last 15,000 years. The most recent confirmed Miyake Events occurred in 993 AD and 774 AD. This newly-identified 14,300-year-old storm is, however, the largest that has ever been found – roughly twice the size of these two.
The exact nature of these Miyake Events remains very poorly understood as they have never been directly observed instrumentally.

I downloaded and read a free sample, and am definitely buying it.

It would be a lot more amusing if you could SEE grain flying off the hopper cars. As it is, I wouldn't know that was happening if it were not for the voice half-way through that says "there's a lot of seeds falling off those grain cars" (or some such).

]]>Since explicitly asked, okay:
Go to the WaPo site in the usual way...
/2023/03/08 is the date...
/multiverse-novels/ gets you the file.
I hope that's understandable to humans but not to bots.

It happens. About 10 years ago, doing a shortish circular walk, near a friend's house in S Wales, I found One of these - not normally found in the UK at all.
But, this was on a rural side-road, which at that point was next to a major dual carriageway.
The seed had clearly come off a passing lorry!
Don't doubt it a bit. My point was the video was ABOUT seeds flying off of the hopper cars, but you couldn't SEE any seeds in the video. All you could see was hopper cars passing the platform.

Moving the data is rather easier.
