Leolaia thanks for your posts here. It's so helpful to look at Daniel through a different interpretive lens than the WT one.

I've heard pretty compelling evidence that the verbiage in Daniel and some of the political references indicates it was written much later than it claims to be. Kind of like if you said "this is a letter written by George Washington" and the letter started "Hey hey bitches wazzup LMAO here in the state of Hawaii..."
Much like Daniel language evolves things change. Linguistic historians can look at the language and the verbiage and place things pretty well and my understanding is that Daniel is all wrong for the date it claims to be. One of the reasons the Jews have never really taken the book seriously.
