  Chronology of Jubilees Background about Jubilee years and when they happened. Believersweb.org
The year 135-134 BCE (or the year 177 of the Seleucid Era) was noted to be a 7th year in the writings of Flavius Josephus.
If the current year (44-43 BCE) did correspond to the cited 2nd year of the land-use agreement then it might be possible to interpret this passage to mean that the respective year did correspond to a 7th year (as celebrated by the Jews).
Because a jubilee year would hypothetically have been celebrated in the year 422-421 BCE (autumn-to-autumn), it is clear that the year when Ezra arrived at Jerusalem (autumn-to-autumn of 458-457 BCE) would have corresponded with a Sabbatical year of the 50-year cycle (the 2nd Sabbatical of the cited jubilee cycle).

 Chronology Of Jubilees
B ecause the dynasty of Asamoneus assumed control of the Temple system in 160 BCE, and because it is very clear that a jubilee-year was not observed under the late Second-Temple (as cited), it is logical to believe that the last time a jubilee-cycle was celebrated may have been prior to the cited Jewish revolt.
Assuming that a jubilee-year was celebrated in 121 BCE, then each 7-year-cycle of the two calendar systems (solar and lunar) would have continued to overlap together (between autumn and spring) for the distance of another 49-years.
It is here of special interest that both the jubilee-year of 571-570 BCE (the time of Ezekiel's vision) and the jubilee-year of 30-31 CE (the time after the crucifixion) may have occurred in alignment with a revolution of this respective long-time-cycle (of 600-years).

 The Significance of 70 Years
The year 135-134 BCE (or the year 177 of the Seleucid Era) was noted to be a 7th year in the writings of Josephus.
This means that the occurrence of the nearest 7th year (according to 70-year chronology) could have begun in either the spring of the year 162 BCE (not in autumn of the year 163 BCE) or it could have began in the spring of the year 163 BCE (not the autumn of the year 163).
It is of special significance that the year 37 BCE (the year when King Herod ascended to the throne of Jerusalem) is indicated to have been the year of a conjunction of both cycles--of 70 years and of 49 years.

 Chronology of the Jubilee-Cycle
Because the reign of Nebuchadnezzar (Nabuchodonosar II) began in 605-604 BCE, the event of the captivity would have occurred in the year 597-596 BCE (or in the 8th year of King Nebuchadnezzar's reign).
It is of special interest that the year 457 BCE likewise corresponded with the epoch of a 70th year of the kingly cycle as is shown in the online document entitled: ' The Significance of 70 years '.
It is here of special interest that both the jubilee year of 572-571 BCE (the time of Ezekiel's vision) and the jubilee year of 29-30 CE (in the time of Jesus' ministry) may have both occurred in alignment with a revolution of this respective long time cycle of 600 years.

Around 177 BCE, the Xiongnu, led by one of Maodun's tribal chiefs, invaded the Yuezhi territory in the Gansu region, leading them to a crushing defeat.
Some time after 126 BCE the Yuezhi, possibly disturbed by further incursions of rivals from the north, moved south to Bactria, that had been conquered by the Greeks under Alexander the Great in 330 BCE, and since settled by the Greek dynasties of the Seleucids and the Greco-Bactrians for two centuries.
As they settled in Bactria from around 125 BCE, the Yuezhi became Hellenized to some degree, as suggested by their adoption of the Greek alphabet and by some remaining coins, minted in the style of the Greco-Bactrian kings, with the text in Greek.

As its title promises, Gods and Men in Egypt: 3000 BCE to 395 CE discusses how the people of (and in) ancient Egypt conceptualized their relationship with divinities throughout an enormous span of time.
The inclusion of the second book proves that this volume is distinct from traditional books on Egyptian religion, which ordinarily treat the conquest of Egypt by Alexander the Great as the end of Egyptian history in its most genuine form.
The fact that the authors divided Gods and Men in Egypt: 3000 BCE to 395 CE into two separate books is not particularly true to their wish to regard Egyptian history down to the fourth century CE as one coherent whole.

In this work I argue that the writers of the OT are using 'prophecy-after-the fact' to portray God as the only god who can predict the future hundreds of years in advance and then bring the prophecies into realization.
My research suggests that many of these prophecies are realized by the Hasmoneans (BCE 164-64), thus dating the OT to this period of time.

Amenophis, who became Amenophis IV, was to abandon the eternal order of things as inherited from his forefathers: he would change his name from Amenophis (also spelled Amenhotep) to Akhenaten, and he would leave Thebes, the official capital, to found a new domain and order.
For a period of a mere twelve years, that is from 1366 to 1354 BCE, he would live in the transient capital he was to baptize Akhetaten.

The fact that he could gain a consensus does not mean, however, that he did not have the support of a majority in the Senate.
Appius Claudius was very much opposed to withdrawal of the proposal simply for the lack of a consensus, indicating that Aemilianus probably had the support of the majority opinion of the Senate.
