Flood to Abraham, St Jerome B

On the less likely "St Jerome B version", Tower of Babel dispersion event is as far from Flood as in Georgius Syncellus, and therefore closer to Abraham instead. It would have been in 2424 BC.

To explain, St Jerome's Christmas chronology quoted from Roman Martyrology in itself does not state anything about Tower of Babel. So, to me, where St Jerome's chronology placed that event is somewhat mysterious.

Extra years if end of Göbekli Tepe is the dispersion of tongues at Tower of Babel, 6176 of them, makes for a carbon level 47.374 pmc. Levels for 2957 (Flood) and 1928 (Abraham in En-Gedi) as previous.

Here the formula for pmc was a series of phi related values multiplied by the specific : ( 47.374 - 1.636 ) / 22.245
=2.05610249494268374915711395819285232636547538773,
add back 1.636.

Note that the table shows the years for Göbekli Tepe as being 2637 to 2424 BC, corresponding to 9587 to 9624 BC. 213 years of building activity, like Israel in Egypt.

Now the formula will be same series with the other specific here: ( 83.689 - 47.374 ) / 22.245
=1.63250168577208361429534726904922454484153742414026,
add back 47.374.

If you feel this one is more likely than the other one, feel free to use it instead.

If you feel Ziggurat of Ur is a better match than Göbekli Tepe for Tower of Babel project, feel free to use that one for 2424 BC. There is a problem with that.

Ziggurat of Ur is supposed to have been built by Ur-Nammu, and perhaps there is even some evidence to back that up. And Ur-Nammu is a bit too late:

Ur-Nammu (conventional) 2112–c. 2095 (short chronology) 2047–2030 BC.

Sumerian had already been spoken and written for some while and if these dates were to date like 2424 BC, well, the pmc of atmosphere would have been around 99% already - way too high for so early, if one is to date Abraham in En Gedi as ... Chalcolithic of En Gedi.

So, to me, Ziggurat of Ur is out of the question as "Tower of Babel" project. Note also that Ur was not abandoned after the Ziggurat. This means buildings would have been added to Ur after the Ziggurat. And this means if the Ziggurat had been the tower of Babel, the text would be wrong, where it says "and they ceased to build the city" (Genesis 11:8b).

Obviously, it is not.

Ur is not the city which they were building.

But other end of Shinar, Göbekli Tepe could be the abandoned city, with 18 km (12 miles?) to Urfa, a k a Edessa. A city then begun after Göbekli Tepe was abandoned (see Genesis 11:8) and which could be Ur Kasdim.

I look at the years here, I think 2424 is late for Göbekli Tepe. With 2424 you have GT starting 213 years earlier, according to the curve. I think St Jerome A is a better alternative, or Georgius Syncellus. I have not yet looked at St Jerome C.
