Feel free to believe there is no organic content in Egyptian dust storms, (as well as wind and rain) that would significantly contaminate the C14 dating of ancient charcoal after being exposed, 24/7 for centuries, to what has become one of the most hydrocarbon-polluted environments on the planet.
Considering that the "daily air pollution intake is akin to smoking a pack of cigarettes", I think you're going to have a very hard time finding a scientist who would agree that a piece of ancient charcoal wouldn't be contaminated after being exposed by such an intense barrage of hydrocarbons.
