Original NB Timeline to Exodus via eclipses...



Just as a reference, the Jewish timeline varies from the pagan timeline
because of presumed revisionism during the Persian Period. Here's how the
Judeo-Biblical timeline unfolds with re-assigned key astronomical events
attached. From Herod to the Exodus.

1 AD, Shebat 2, Herod dies based upon the eclipse occuring during the month
of a Fast, the 10th of Tebet, just before his death, dated Tebet 14 1BC.
The 4BCE eclipse doesn't match Josephus' description as occurring just
before hisdeath and during the month of a Fast in March 13/14 (Adar), 4BCE
which is *after* Herod would have died in month 11 (Shebat 2). The eclipse
in 1BCE is 18 days before Herod's death which fits his description. The
Fast was the 10th of Tebet a few days before the eclipse. This harmonizes
with gospel reference of Jesus being born in 2BCE. his baptism at 30 years
of age occurs in 29CE, giving us our only marker to link back to ancient
history via the 70 weeks prophecy. The baptism of Christ in 29CE is 483
years from the time Jerusalem began to be rebuilt in the 1st of Cyrus.

455BCE, The 1st of Cyrus, 483 years from 29CE, when the "word goes forth to
rebuild Jerusalem". From this point we dismiss the extra fake 82 years of
Persian history, 30 years for Darius I, 1 year of Kambyses, 21 years for
Xerxes who was Artaxerxes and an extra 30 years for Artaxerxes II reducing
his rule to 17 years as it should be. This allows Nehemiah to return from
Babylon with Zerubbabel at age 30 and outlive Xerxes/Artaxerxes who died at
59 and was born the year Cyrus becomes king. This date, the beginning of
70 weeks, also establishes it as a jubilee year and allows us to thus date
the Exodus to 1386BCE, 19 jubilees earlier. (Jubilees are the 1st of every
49 years. 19 x 49=931 +455BCE=1386BCE)

461-455BCE, the six-year rule of "Darius the Mede." Darius the Mede is the
grandson of Nebuchadnezzar and ruled for six years while the Jews were still
in exile before Cyrus became king of a united Persia between the Medes and
Persians.

462 BCE. The true year that Babylon falls.

478BCE, The famous Thales eclipse in the 2nd year of Nabonidus, played
against the context by Herodotus by claiming this eclipse occurred during
the time of Alyattes but notes the agreement was mediated by Labynetus, a
clue that the only predictable elcipse in 478BCE by Thales was actually
during the reign of Nabonidus. Nabonidus was only active on the throne two
years before he turned over the active rulership to his son, Belshazzar. He
retired to Borsippa to focus on his MoonGod worship. The description of
this eclipse as occurring in Ionia and being predictable does not work for
585BCE, nor does Labynetus being king of Babylon. The 478BCE was
predictable by rare means based upon Babylonian records which Thales had
access to and it did go through Ionia, thus the reference is one of many
cryptic references by Herodotus of the original chronology. He was likely
paid by the Persians to publish his history of Persia and the Persian wars
to establish the propaganda of the revised history, but he played both sides
of the fence and left some of the true history to be found by reading
between the lines. From him we thus learn that Darius I died at Marathon
and not mysteriously four years later.

479BCE, Year 2 of Nabonidus. The Nabon 18 reference to an eclipse that is
in progress at moonset occurs in the sixth month in 479BCE and is a total
eclipse. This reference was left on the books because the revised history
of 554BCE for year 2 of Nabonidus likewise had an eclipse in the sixth
month, only it was partial. The redating of this eclipse confirms the 2nd
year of Nabonidus specifically in 479BCE, his first year in 480BCE. That
means Cyrus' 20-year rule beginnin in his 6th year was from 475 to 455BCE.

511BCE, the 37th year of Nebuchadnezzar. Two "errors" compared in the
VAT4956 turned out to reference 511BCE, the presumed original dating,
proving the text was created to hide a reference to the original chronology
by burying it in hundreds of references to the year 568BCE, the faked 37th
year of Nebuchadnezzar. From this date we determine his 23rd year in 525BCE
which should be 70 years from the 1st of Cyrus, which would fall in 455BCE
per Josephus (Ant. 11.1.1). This dates the fall of Jerusalem in 529BCE.

541BCE, the 7th of Nebuchadnezzar, based upon eclipse reference in the
"Strm. Kambyses 400" (SK400) where two eclipses specifically timed are a
mismatch for year 7 of Kambyses in 523BCE. The eclipses per the text need
to be exactly 2 hours and 46 minutes apart. The ecilpses in 523BCE are 4
hours and 46 minutes apart. But the previous eclipse in 541BCE, 18 years
earlier where a similar eclipse event occurs, two eclipses, basically the
same in every way, six months apart, but with an interval 2 hours shorter,
that is, 2:45. The implied cryptic reference mismatch is to "year 7" of
Nebuchadnezzar in 541BCE. This agrees with the other cryptic double-dating
in the VAT4956 for year 37 in 511BCE. Hardly a coincidence. Thus two texts
with cryptic double-dating give the same dating for the rule of
Nebuchadnezzar, establishing it firmly as beginnin 547BCE and at the same
time dismissing any notion that the current dating is anything but
fabricated.

709BCE, Assyrian Eponym solar eclipse, redated from 763BCE. This eclipse is
used to date the entire Assyrian Period. It is the only eclipse event
mentioned and matched to 763BCE, but 763BCE was part of a series of eclipses
occurring every 54 years and one month later but was dated early in 763BCE.
Thus the following eclipse one month later in 709BCE was still in the 3rd
month. This allows downdating the Assyrian Period at this point by 54
years, just 3 years difference from the 57-year required downdating by
astronomical reference of the NB Period. The 3-year difference is
negligible. From this point we can date other well-known events.

799BCE, Battle of Karkar. Based upon the redating of the Assyrian eclipse
to 709BCE, the Battle of Karkar moves from 853BCE to 799CE in the 20th year
of Ahab.

871BCE, Invasion by Shishak. Likewise, Shishak's invasion dated to 925BCE
occurs 54 years later in 871BCE. This is year 5 of Rehoboam, but he was
still over the 10 tribes at this time and thus Solomon was still alive! (2
Chronicles 12:1, 5, 6). This means Shihak attacked the northern kingdom
cities while still under the control of Rehoboam. Solomon would die the
following year in 870BCE at which point Shishak turned over the cities to
his friend Jeroboam. Thus Shishak assisted Jeroboam to break away from
Rehoboam. Please note that this is precisel where Professor Finkelstein's
"Low Chronology" dating the Solomonic period, in the early 9th century!
Thus this is at least archaeologically consistent. Check out more details
here.

>From here it is just simple math back to the Exodus. We already established
the Exodus in 1386BCE per the 455BCE Jubilee coordination. Solomon's rule
ending in 870BCE dates his 4th year to 906BCE which in turn dates the Exodus
480 years earlier in 1386BCE. Thus the Assyrian eponym eclipse method of
determining the Exodus provides the same dating as the jubilee method from
455BCE! But there is one more reference.

1386BCE, the Exodus, the 1st of AKHENATON! Another eclipse reference
misdated and misunderstood by David Rohl is used to date the 12th of
Akhenaton and the Amarna Period. The story behind this reference is that
the text was charred and there was a report about a fire in Ugarit in the
12th year of Akhenaton. If this text was out drying or under consideration
it explains why its surface got charred in the fire. It's an indirect
reference, but the eclipse event can only occur in one year if applied and
that is 1375BCE. The text uses Egyptian reference to Reshep, Taurus, and to
the "sun enters her gate" as a reference to the sunrise, the sun entering
the gate of Hathor. Further the first reference to "sixth" is to the
Egyptian hour which is an Egyptian invention. Sixth made no sense when
applied to the day of the ecilpse, etc. But this was missed by Rohl.

(Here's a reference to the concept of the sun and Hathor's
gate:http://www.bibleorigins.net/BullCalfSunSycamoresHathor.html

The context of the sixth hour (between 5am and 6am, Egyptian time) as well
as an eclipse during sunrise confirm this is an early morning eclipse in
progress at sunrise. The only qualifying eclipse that occurs between 5am
and 6am is the 1375BCE eclipse. If that is year 12 of Akhenaton, then he
would have begun his rule in 1386BCE, the same year as the Exodus, which
explains his fixation on darkness, monthesim, worshipping a god without an
image and dismissing all the other gods of Egypt was fake and worthles Gods,
precisely the perspective of the Jews and the Ten Commandments. Akhenaton
had a grand departure from Egyptian theology being labeled later the
"heretic king". Experiencing the Ten Plagues would have done this to him,
thus dating Akhenaton with the Exodus works very well. This requies only an
8-year adjustment to where he was dated anyway so again, not much
archaeological recorating when the original timeline is corrected and in
place.
