Talk:12th century BC

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think we can add here for the fall of Troy the date 1184 BC that is traditional and that we can find everywhere, for exemple here: http://www.sarissa.org/troy.htm - Noises

Sorry. That's speculation, based on all kinds of deductions and assumptions. MichaelTinkler

I'm with Noises with reservations - where a date's "traditional" but lacking independent foundation, I think it should be entered, but in the form: "Traditional date (given by/based on ...) for .... There is no real evidence for the date, and the event may have occurred some/many years/decades/centuries earlier/later/earlier or later" - or something like that, so that users who look up the date (assuming it's supported) can get an idea of the extent to which it isn't. - User:David Parker
