Carbon 14 dating can be used to date organic remains from up to 50,000 years old, making it a useful method for dating the mummy and its tomb contents. Carbon 4 is not a real dating method, dendrochronology relies on tree rings and therefore is not applicable in this scenario, and electron spin resonance is typically used for dating teeth or other hard, mineralized tissues.
