Topic: 669 BCE


  
  Ashurbanipal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
627 BCE) (reigned 669 - 627 BCE), the son of Esarhaddon and Naqi'a-Zakutu, was the last great king of ancient Assyria.
Esarhaddon was not the son of Sennacherib's queen, Tashmetum-sharrat, but of the West Semitic "palace woman" Zakutu, known by her native name, Naqi'a.
The situation came to an immediate crisis in 669, when Esarhaddon, on campaign to Egypt, died suddenly.

 History of Iran: Median Empire

 Isaiah 1-39, Pre-Exilic clues
Merodach was a king of Babylon in the period 722-710 and 703-702 BCE (cf.
Merodach's last date of reign is 702 BCE as king of Babylon, and this has got to be the terminal date for Isaiah, so I would emend the scholar's date to circa 742-702 BCE instead of 742-687 BCE, for Isaiah is apparently unaware of Babylon's demise in 689 BCE.
For me, this is evidence that Isaiah's oracle about Babylon's fall to Elam and Media is a genuine 8th century BCE prophecy- it reflects the current political reality, in the 8th century Elam is a world power, in the 6th she is a "has-been".

 Press Release Nov 27th 2005 -  Australian Author rewrites 8th Century BCE Middle Eastern History. - The Kings Calendar
Australian Author rewrites 8th Century BCE Middle Eastern History, claiming both the Bible and History textbooks are wrong.
In an article published at King's Calendar Australian Author R.P.BenDedek, (The King's Calendar:The Secret of Qumran), states that 8th Century BCE Middle Eastern history as currently taught, is wrong, because Academics have relied too much on Bible Stories.
Describing Academic vision as too narrow, and accusing historians of failing to go outside their academic boxes, BenDedek, in rewriting selected historical passages, demonstrates that three successive kings of Judah (Israel) are misidentified in the Bible, because their names all look too alike in Hebrew.
