By soon after 1000 BC it is likely that their language, Aramaic, was widely used as an everyday vernacular in both Assyria and Babylonia as well as over most of Syria and Palestine (where Hebrew also was still spoken).
In this way, there was throughout Mesopotamian history a constant interference with the settled, traditional civilisation of the great ancient cities by a variety of groups moving into the area from the mountain fastnesses to the east or the rolling plains to the north-west.
The kings of this Old Babylonian Period (or First Dynasty of Babylon), including Hammurabi (reigned 1848-1806 BC according to the now preferred chronology), sometimes made their official pronouncements bilingually in Akkadian and Sumerian, but as a living language and culture Sumerian was by now obsolescent.

Some use 605 BC after the fall of Carchemish, but this poses the additional problem of being the fourth year of Jehoiakim rather than the third as stated by Daniel.
The only reason for the fabrication of a deportation in the year 606 or 605 BC is the statement of Daniel concerning the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim.

 CP2: Secular Chronology   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Thiele is too quick to embrace evidence of the apparent eclipse of June 15, 763 BC and he does not understand the dubiousness of identifying dates merely from one reported eclipse.
This may be the reason the eclipse of 763 BC gives a false reading and that the suppressed eclipse of the Esarhaddon Chronicle has not found a place in secular chronology.
Secular Dates from 626 BC to 75 AD cp132ยป At one time I thought that the dates of secular history, specifically from 626 BC to 75 AD (conventional dating system), were sound dates because of the apparent evidence shown in the book, Babylonian Chronology 626 B.C.-A.D.

 Habakkuk: Journey Toward a Theodicy
Babylonian prominence began to emerge in 626 BC when they defeated the Assyrians at Babylon, and Ninevah in 612 BC, the capital of the Assyrian empire.
A date before 626 is most likely, although a date between 626 and 612 is also possible.
Any date later than 612 BC would diminish both the predictive and surprise element of the prophecy because Babylon would have already had great prominence and been a present threat to Judah.
