The celebrated scholar of idiocy strikes again.
I'm presuming this is a reference to me? Sorry, the jokes on you. The timeline has been corrected. The Bible is true, now confirmed by the VAT4956. Those too lazy or not smart enough to actually follow this might consider me to be an "idiot" I suppose. But the proof is in the pudding. Now let's see how smart you are.
Um, C14 from Rehov City IV dates to 871 BCE. If you know enough Bible chronology this proves the 1st of Cyrus fell in 455 BCE. But are you smart enough to connect the dots here? Or do I need to explain? Which is my point.
But everyone is not in a position to make an informed judgment call on this one. They, instead, follow the opions of others with no ability to think for themselves usually. But that is bound to change if we keep revisiting this chronology and this topic.
Call me what you like. The secular astronomy and science disprove the current popular revised timeline now. It's a matter of being informed and familiar with the latest as well as critical Bible chronology.

Jeremiah 25:11... 70 years of servitude... (oh, and an unspecified period of desolation)... but 70 years of servitude for sure...
No Babilonian king availble to serve after 539BCE, so the 70-year period ran from 609BCE through 539BCE... it's really just that simple...

The bible and archaeological evidence coincide and support much of the events of that era.
Re-read my previous post to understand all thats worthy to consider.
And no Larsinger you've proved nothing but your refusal to accept that you haven't considered evidence from the
bible and archaeological findings.
Why don't you take your newly found understanding of these dates to a recognized University like Oxford ? Present your information
with them and when they return their answer back, post it up here on this forum.
The REAL reason the JWS have their dates wrong and they are indeed false prophets
The 1914 Chronology
by James White
A. Establishing an Ancient Date 1. Fixed Dates
2. King List
3. Cuneiform Tablets
4. CorrelationB. Astronomical Data
1. VAT 4956
- astronomical observations made during Nebuchadnezzar’ s 37th regnal year - 568/67 B. C. Hence, his first regnal year was spring 604 B. C., or, using Babylonian reckoning, 605/04 B. C., or, in Jewish civil calendar, it was 606/05 B. C., fall to fall.
2. BM n.4. 76-11 - Cambyses 7th regnal year 523/22 B.C. We shall see that Cyrus was enthroned 16 years earlier, 538/37 B. C.
3. Ptolemy’s Alamgest records 19 lunar eclipses. Two are here significant - April 21, 621 B. C., which was in the 5th year of Nabopolassar. Second was 11:00PM, July 16, 523 B. C., the 7th of Cambyses. Note the correlation between VAT 4956 and Almagest:
Eclipse: Nabopolassar’s first year = 626 B.C.
Nabopolassar’s last year = 605 B. C.
VAT 4956: 37th year of Nebuchadnezzar = 568 B. C.
First year of Nebuchadnezzar = 605 B. C.4. Considerations:
Since Cyrus took the throne in 538/37 B. C., the Jews could have settled in Jerusalem by 537/36 B.C. (2 Chronicles 36: 22-23, Ezra 1: 1-3: 6) . Hence, the 70 years, reckoning inclusively, would have begun in 606/05 B.C. fall to fall (Jewish calendar). This has been locked in as Nebuchadnezzar's accession year.C. Establishing a Ring List

Cambyses 8 yrs 530 - 522 7th yr - 523/522 Almagest, BM n. 4. 78-11F. Biblical Considerations:
1. Interpreting the 70 years
- Two views:
A. Seventy years began in Nebuchadnezzar’s 19th regnal, year when he destroyed Jerusalem, removed Zedekiah, and took the populace captive. 2 Kings 24:18-25:21, 2 Chronicles 36: 11-21.
B. This view also marks the end of the 70 years with the return of the Jews to Jerusalem. However, it marks the beginning in the 4th regnal year of Jehoiakim, corresponding to Nebuchadnezzar’s first regnal year., 605 B. C. C Daniel 1: 1-6, 2 Kings 24: 1)
. This view also sees Jeremiah 25:12 as significant.
2. Which view fits?
View A: 70 year period: 607
- 537 B. C.
Nebuchadnezzar’ s 19th year: 607 B. C. Nebuchadnezzar’s 1st year: 626 B.C.70 year period: 605 - 537 B.C. (incl) Nebuchadnezzar’ s 19th year: 586 B. C.
Nebuchadnezzar’s 1st year: 605 B.C.View B:
3. supporting evidence: BM 21946 records:
Nebuchadnezzar conquered “Hatti-land” Sept. 605 B.C.
4th regnal year (601/600) defeated by Egypt
6th regnal year (599/598) quelled rebelling Arabs
Next winter, 598/97, took Jehoiakin (2 Kings 24:14) as well as Ezekiel.
Notice - Nebuchadnezzar was not even king in 607!BM 22047 says that Nabopolassar was king in 607, and that he led a military campaign against “the mountains of Za” in Assyria!
