Concerning Codex Khaboris

Myself with Codex Khaboris During Khaboris Project, 1996

1970
Attorney Dan MacDougald (who some time earlier purchased the Codex
Khaboris) founds "Social Research Laboritories" and later "Laws for Living
Insitute" to "continue the work" begun by the Yonan Codex Foundation, but
these organizations deal primarily with Psychology.


1974
Yonan Codex Foundation publishes "Enlightenment" booklet. This booklet has
an introduction which is only attributed to "Yonan Codex Foundation",
includes some of Norman Yonan's translations and a glossery (though Yonan
is not named in the book).


July 1995
Codex Khaboris temporarily placed at Reunion Institute in Houston. Dan
MacDougald commissions the Codex Khaboris Project team (including myself,
James Trimm) to study the manuscript. I am in charge of translating the
colophon. The team dates the manuscript at about the 12th century.

1996
Codex Khaboris Project concludes.


Dec. 1999
University of Arizona carbon dates Khaboris and confirms our 12th century
date.



THE RADIOCARBON DATING OF CODEX KHABORIS

The results of radiocarbon measurements on your parchment sample
from page 248 of the Khabouris Codex are given below.

Sample number: AA35137
delta 13C = -20.5 permid
Radiocarbon age = 960 +/-45 years Before Present (1999)
Using a tree-ring calibration curve, the radiocarbon age can be
converted to a calendar age range as follows:

Calendar-age range:

one sigma: AD 1020-1160
two sigma: AD 1000-1190

The two sigma range is such that if the measurement were repeated 20 times.
19 of the results would be within this range.
