Tested the 1207 BC eclipse claim for Joshua at Gibeon
Wrote an eclipse calculator from NASA's Besselian elements and a base-rate scan of 1300 to 1100 BC, allowing for uncertainty in Earth's rotation. The 1207 BC ring of fire did cross Gibeon and is rare there; but it was near sunset, while the text says 'midst of heaven'. Results match Khalisi 2021.
