The rabbinical timeline has always contradicted the current secular
timeline, generally the Jews claiming there were too many Persian kings
and
the Persian Period was too long. But the dates provided for the temple
are
hard to take at face value:
832 BCE Begin 1st temple
426 BCE End 1st temple
422 BCE Begin 70-year servitude
352 BCE End 2nd temple
As you can see 352 BCE to end of the 1st temple which occurs in the 6th
year
of Darius (Ezra 6:14,15) is a completely ridiculous date. 352 BCE
otherwise
is year 6 of Artaxerxes II. This compares to 516 BCE in the
conventional
timeline, a reduction of 164 years. Obviously this late date for year 6
of
Darius I is not taken seriously. However, a quick conversion of the above
dates is possible using basic intervals between these main temple dates,
which suggests/confirms some Jews maintained a reference to the original
chronology that we have discovered in the VAT4956 which dates year 37 of
Nebuchadnezzar to 511 BCE.
That is, based on the VAT4956 dating for year 37 of Nebuchadnezzar
originally occurring in 511 BCE, year 23 of Nebuchadnezzar falls in 525
BCE.
This is the year of the last de****tation which is 70 years prior to the
1st
of Cyrus when the 2nd temple began to be built. It took 21 years to
build
and thus the original date is 434 BCE. If you will note, this represents
an 82 year distortion from the current popular timeline. However, 352 BCE
is also exactly 82 years after 434 BCE. Coincidence? Maybe, but it
would
explain the ridiculous date of 352 BCE for the 6th of Darius if this was a
cryptic reference to the original chronology. That is, the original
dating
in 434 BCE is distorted by 82 years, so 82 years was used to distort the
cryptic reference to 352 BCE, thus 352 BCE is not a true face-value date,
but a cryptic mock date of the revised chronology.
Once this is suspected, though, all the other dates convert via intervals
between the main dates for the temple. The apparent 4-year difference
from
the ending of the 1st temple and the beginning of the 70-year period of
desolation are represented as 426 and 422 BCE. The original dating would
be 529 and 525 BCE per the VAT4956. As noted, the 2nd temple took 21
years to build. If we add those 21 years to the 82-year distortion of our
first comparison we arrive at 103 years. If we use 103 to convert 426 and
422 BCE, we get 529 and 525 BCE, the original dates for the end of the 2nd
temple and the beginning of the 70-year servitude period, respectively.
Finally, 832 BCE for the 1st temple converts to 906 BCE by adding 74
years.
74 years is the interval between the end of the 1st temple in 529 BCE and
the beginning of the second in 455 BCE. 906 BCE as the 4th of Solomon is
calculated via jubilee dating when the 1st of Cyrus falls in 455 BCE. The
Exodus is exactly 19 jubilees earlier (931 years) in 1386 BCE. The 4th of
Solomon falls 480 years following this dated to 906 BCE.
The above rabbinical dates thus suggests that at least in some academic
circles the original timeline was never lost. The converted dating,
aligns with the VAT4956 dating, a text that is suggested to have been
created by Jews who were astronomers during the Seleucid Period since it
references back to the reign of Nebuchadnezzar II, a strongly dated
ruler****p found in the Bible.
Now, of course, with the RC14 dating from Rehov confirming the invasion by
****shak c. 871 BCE, the converted rabinical timeline is confirmed again.
That's becuase when ****shak's invasion is dated to 871 BCE, year 39 of
Solomon, then his 4th year falls in 906 BCE.
