		Yet the Babylonians and Assyrians were the first to order thousands and later tens of thousands of omens with their respective interpretations according to similar categories, thereby creating a science of omens which the Hittites took over in many particulars and which stimulated the assembling of some collections.
		The Babylonians never possessed even the beginnings of an understanding of physics, though they did have at their disposal some knowledge of physical principIes, such as the laws of leverage, which had to be used in transporting the heaviest blocks.
		The Babylonians understood the problem in such a way as to make a virtue of necessity, and thus to reckon with great sophistication without any unequivocal place va1ue, since as far as they were concerned a protracted reckoning of the place value was of no concern in the case of the intermediate sums.

	CHAPTER THREE: Jehoiakim 606BCE. to 596 BCE - King's Calendar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		This chapter concentrates on the narratives of Josephus, the Bible, and the Babylonian Chronicles, to realign the reign of King Nebuchadrezzar of Babylon.
		Keeping in mind that the Babylonian Chronicle in nowise identifies the Judean Kings; that it fails to mention one king involved in this drama and that it is just a summary of the events for the year, the following is the 'King's Calendar' reconstruction of both the events and the narratives.
		Nevertheless, since the Babylonian Chronicles are treated as 'gospel', and they speak of only 'one' siege (Adar 2nd), and because that reference appears to necessitate that it was Jehoiachin who was captured on Adar 2nd, academics insist that it most definitely does refer to him.

		The glory of Cyrus' conquests probably appealed to the Babylonians, for Cyrus next states that Merodach placed the whole of the troops of Qutu (Media) under his feet, and the whole of the troops of the Manda (barbarians and mercenaries).
		The inner teaching of the Babylonian polytheistic faith was, as is now well known, monotheistic, and there may have been, among the priests, a desire to have a ruler holding that to be the true faith, and also not so inclined as Nabonidus to run counter to the people's (and the priests') prejudices.
		It was he who gave orders for the rebuilding of the Temple at Jerusalem (2 Chronicles 36:23; Ezra 1:2; 5:13; 6:3), restored the vessels of the House of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had taken away (Ezra 1:7), and provided funds to bring cedar trees from Lebanon (Ezra 3:7).

		But if you examine the "Babylonian Chronicles" apparently they tried to squeeze the major events in during this shortened rule and thus all events starting with the exile of Daniel are one year off when compared to the Bible.
		The Babylonian chronicle also dates the attack on Pharoah Necho in the accession year of Nebuchadnezzar, but the Bible dates it int he 4th year of Jehoikim, meaning it actually took place in the 1st year of Nebuchadnezzar.
		The Babylonian chronicles do not address that deportation that I know of,but the WTS also doesn't recognize the 7th year deportation of Ezekiel, aparently thinking he was deported at the same time as king Jehoiachin.

		Judah fell under Babylonian rule after the battle of Carchemish in 605 B.C., and remained as a separate vassal state until 586 B.C. See Relations with Babylon) During this period, the Judeans twice rebelled and were twice conquered by king Nebuchadrezzar.
