Obviously, this tablet was dated using linguistics.

Was it?

O.K smartass. Why not astound us with what you know! Guarantee NO
RESPONCE.

Look, we know you are a globally respected expert on the subject,
but you would not take your word for it anytime soon.

Even you can understand this bob. So I'll say it again.

Quote: "I believe that this "illegible" word is actually legible. It
is the word "hayeh" (live),"

NOTE: your expert is translating a word that every other expert says
is "illegible".

Now go and play with your nappy-rash!

Interesting comment coming from somebody that ignores what teh
experts say about both how the writing was dated and the method used.
This is a good example of how people like him use the salad bar
approach to most things.
If he likes it the experts are right, if he does not like it they
are wrong. Same people, same tools, same methods and the same lack
of knowledge, trining and education on his part.- Hide quoted text -

Oh you are stupid. You know as well as I do that the dating techniques
cannot pinpoint this stone so accurately.

You know as well as I do, this guy has ulterior motives.

It's not a "guy" it's a group of scientists that have examined the stone.

At a time when *everything* had to be done by hand and travel was difficult
I would imagine that the writing changed in a rather rapid fashion and is
identifiable as to year and region to educated people.
Unlike you I don't claim this as fact because I want it to be true.

You have been asked repeated for something other than your opinion to
support your claim and the best you can do is claim I am stupid.- Hide quoted text -

Smaller communities meant there would have been less outside
influence,
and grammatical expressions would be past from generation to
generation in tight knit communities.

You had the greek language which had been popular since alexander 300
years earlier, and the upcoming roman influence.

Now I have asked before. So I will ask again.

What idioms were used to date this tablet?

If you don't know, either "find out", "admit it's impossible" or "shut
the fluff up".
