 457BC_WhyCorrect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
There is a short gap between 404 BC and 403 BC with a couple of minor kings during that gap.  This was apparently due to political situations at the palace.
To begin, the author wishes to show why 444 BC is not the correct date for the beginning of the 70 weeks/years prophecy.  Then the reasons why 457 BC is the correct date will be covered.
There are several flaws in the arguments against 457 BC as the correct date for the fulfillment of the 70 weeks/years prophecy.  These flaws listed here are the common ones the author has run into, but certainly there probably exist other arguments against it.

 History of Ancient Athens - Periklean Age
A small Athenian army, which landed at Halieis (459-458 BC), on the Akte, was defeated by the Corinthians, but in a naval battle, between Athens and Corinth, that took place near the little island Cekryphalea, in the Saronic gulf lying between Aegina and the Argive shore, the Athenians defeated the Corinthians.
In 447 BC, a revolution in Boeotia took place and an Athenian body of one thousand hoplitae, mainly youthful aristocratic volunteers, under the command of general Tolmedes, marched to Boeotia, against the advice of Perikles, who told them to be patient and wait until they collected a stronger force.
At the third year of the war (429 BC), Perikles died in the autumn, from the plague and the political power of Athens now fell on demagogues, who often been unable to persuade the middle class and the aristocrats of Athens, they used cheap politics to stir up the population with disastrous results.

Its fertile territory was coveted by neighboring Syracuse and in 476 BC the Syracusan tyrant Hieron I removed the population of Katane to the inland city of Leontini.
On the fall of the Sicilian tyrannies in the late 460s BC, the alien population was expelled and the former inhabitants of Katane returned from exile in Leontini to reclaim their city, which now reverted to its original name.
This tetradrachm is from the beginning of this coinage and depicts on the obverse the local river god Amenanos in the guise of a man-headed bull.

The city of Magnesia was founded in the eighth century BC on the banks of the Maiandros river by Greek colonists from Magnesia in Thessaly.
This large religious structure was redesigned in the third century BC by the Greek architect, Hermogenes.
After the Peace of Apameia (189/8 BC), which removed Asia Minor west of the Tauros Mountains from Seleukid control, Magnesia became an independent city although in practice it was necessary for her to recognize the power of Attalid Pergamon.

 When Were the Sabbatical Years?
Since in AP6, January 464 BC is still in his accession year, this indicates that he took the throne after Tishri 1, 465 BC.
Since Alexander took Gaza in November 332 BC, connecting Alexander's grant to a sabbatical year suggests that 332/331 BC was a sabbatical year, a date that is again in harmony with Zuckermann.
A date of 134 BC for the murder cannot be made to fit with his sabbatical dates without once again assuming an error in the source material.

If the new moon occurred at 4:47 AM on March 13, 445 BC, the new crescent would not be old enough and large enough and far enough away from the setting sun by that evening to be seen.
The murder of Xerxes and the beginning of the usurper Artabanus’s seven months’ reign was in July B.C. 465; the accession of Artaxerxes was in February B.C. 464; one or other of these dates, therefore, must be the epoch of Artaxerxes’ reign.
To be more specific, March 14, 445 BC, was in the middle of the 5th year of a sabbatical cycle, and April 6, 32 AD, was in the middle of the 5th year of a sabbatical cycle.

Clearly, unlike the Persians who'd counted the 7th year of their king from 1 Nisanu that previous year [458 BC], Ezra was not counting this gentile king's seventh year from 1 Abib[Nisan] 3303[458 BC], but was counting from the Hebrew civil calendar new year of 1 Tishri 3304 [in the fall of 458 BC].

They base their belief on the writings of a Babylonian cuneiform tablet stating that Xerxes was murdered on the fifth month of a year with two eclipses.
Miller believed that the 2300 years started on Artaxerxes' 7th year, so in order to find out when Artaxerxes' 7th year was, he subtracted 7 from 464 BC (Artaxerxes' first official year) resulting in 457 BC.
After that, all he had to do was to subtract 457 BC from 2300 to come up with 1843.
