Levantine Iron Age Anomaly

The Levantine Iron Age Anomaly (LIAA) was a geomagnetic anomaly which occurred between 1050 and 700 BCE.^[1]

The anomaly was identified and dated via iron oxide grains baked into ancient bricks from Mesopotamia.^[2] The names of Mesopotamian kings inscribed into the cuneiform tablets helped scientists determine the dates of the anomaly.^[2]
