Hi Ishinan, Sorry, I wasn't able to reply right away due to the startup of the new semester. But, in any case, no, my suggestion has nothing to do with some radically new date for the material in Genesis. Nor is it reliant on whether or not the author of Genesis was aware of actual human-made dome architecture. For my part, nothing about dating is implied. Indeed, to argue for a 2d century BCE date would go against the grain of my argument that the Genesis 1 narrative was framed against an ANE background, from anywhere in the second millennium to the first half of the first millennium BCE Blessings,
