	Kurd's - Persian New Year and its Assyrian - Babylonian origin
		Inscriptions by the Babylonian priests, their king Nebunaid and Cyrus indicate that there was ongoing conflict between the Priests of Marduk and their king who attempted to elevate the Harranian deity Sin above Marduk consequently causing the hatred of him by the general population.
		Cyrus's kindness to the Babylonians and the Jews was clearly a pay-back for the fact that he did not have to fight the population of the city who had in fact helped him to conquer it.
		Since the New Year celebration was a very important event for the Babylonians during which the legitimacy of the ruler was acknowledged it was to the benefit of the early Persian kings to accept this tradition as their own.

	An Overview of MesopotamianLiterature
		If we overlook some kings between 950 and 725 who mainly preferred a very dry style for their reports, the style of these inscriptions was highly polished and in some battle reports could even be gripping.
		With this, he drives forth as the commissioner of the king, demands a private audience with the mayor, and then beats him thoroughly "from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet." Afterward he takes from the mayor the amount in gold for the rental of the chariot.
		The dominant themes in these are the origin and legitimation of the king, his favor with the gods and his care for their temples, and his care for the poor, the orphans, and the widows, as well as for justice.

	CHAPTER TWO: The 'King's Calendar' Starting Point - the works of Josephus, The Fall of Jerusalem, the Burning of ...
		The premise of the 'King's Calendar' is that between the fifth and third centuries BCE the Chronological Data within the Historical Records of Judah and Israel were 'converted' into an artificial chronological system, and transcribed into the original historical records.
		If, as the 'King's Calendar' requires, Nebuchadrezzar's reign is to be shortened by one year, it stands to reason that this must affect the current chronological placements of the preceding kings of Babylon.
		Since the contention of the 'King's Calendar', is that reliance upon biblical chronology in terms of currently accepted concepts of chronological 'years', leads to error, the claim here is, that the very foundation of academic argument (the Biblical Narrative) is flawed.

	ROTP-V1-Ch1
		Most of the kings, indeed, whose names are known to us in connection with the temples they built or restored belonged to older dynasties than those which had their seat in the city of Babylon.
		It was a copy or compilation made by a Babylonian in the reign of Darius from older records, and must have been similar to the document from which Ptolemy's Canon of Babylonian kings was extracted.
		The length of reign assigned to the kings of the dynasties of the sea and of Bit-Bazi in the Second and Third Dynastic Tablets do not agree, while the number of regnal years given to the several kings of the first dynasty of Babylon not only plays on the same ciphers but is suspiciously long.

		In fact, the early Assyrian kings are identifiable with the Akkadian sovereigns, and Ashur himself may be the same person as Sargon I, the first Akkadian king.

	587 BCE - In Conflict with Bible Prophecy
		In considering the reigns of the kings mentioned in the Bible modern chronologists cannot reconcile their reigns with the reigns of pagan kings found on ancient king lists who were known to be their contemporaries.
		On one of the texts Nabonidus describes himself as "the great king, the mighty king, the king of the world, the king of Babylon, the king of the four quarters, the patron of E-sagil and E-zida," and he states that before his birth the gods Sin and Nergal had assigned to him a royal destiny.
		The Babylonians (in their efforts to describe in prophetic terms what had happened in Harran) would have had no trouble in distorting the temporal aspects of the Biblical account of Jerusalem's desolation from 70 years to that of 54 years for Harran's desolation when they fabricated their "prophetic" account.

	Where We Work ::: Iraq Heritage Program :: UR (modern name: Tell el-Muqayyar)
		Into a power vacuum, rulers who were termed the kings of the Sealands (probably the marshy areas of the south and the head of the Gulf) ruled from Babylon.
		The Kassite kings, who were part of a new immigrant group, would rebuild many of the major cities of the south and collect many important Sumerian epics, prayers, royal inscriptions, and works of literature.
		It is obvious that the Kassite kings considered Ur to be an important Sumerian city and worthy of special attention because they built a major fortress at the edge of the Inner City, renovated the Ziggurat temple complex, and founded the ziggurat shrines of Nanna, the Sumerian moon god, and his consort, Nin-gal.

	When Was Judah's 70-Year Babylonian Captivity?
		The exact day on which Jehoiachin was taken captive is given in the Babylonian Chronicles, which is a short synopsis on clay tablets of what occurred in each year of the Babylonian kings.

	Kings of Israel
		In summary, all indications are that Solomon's life took place in the middle of the tenth century B.C. Using the Egyptian and Assyrian king lists, which agree with the Biblical royal chronologies, we can pinpoint Solomon's death: 930/931 B.C. We find at this time that the pharaohs were marrying their daughters to various foreign rulers.
		In addition, the names of many of the kings of the southern kingdom of Judah are also recorded on inscriptions of the nations that fought against the Jews.
		The name of Belshazzar caused problems because there was not only no mention of him, but no room for him in list of Babylonian kings; however, Nabodonius left a record that he appointed his son, Belshazzar (Daniel 5), to reign for a few years in his absence.

		Both Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar (the Babylonian kings) asked their "astrologers, Chaldeans and soothsayers" to inform them of the times in which they were living as well as the future, but they both had to turn to God's prophet Daniel to give them the truth.

	The 'King's Calendar': The Secret of Qumran By R.P. BenDedek
		Through the lens of the 'King's Calendar', it is possible to visualise the erroneous assumption, because when all data is synchronised as required by the biblical data, not only are they almost totally correct, but in the process demonstrate that erroneous assumption.
		One of the results of the previous chapter, is that it demonstrates that King Ahab of Israel died a decade before the 'Battle of Qarqar' in 853 BCE.
		We will take note of the Assyrian king Adad-Nirari and the possible date of his Western Campaigns, and we will examine the issue of the battle of Beth-Shemesh in which the provocateur, Amaziah of Judah, was defeated by Jehoash of Israel.

	A BABYLONIAN PERSPECTIVE ON SENNACHERIB AND HIS GRAND VIZIER
		Relations between the Assyrian and Babylonian kings remained friendly for the most part during this period of changing regimes in the south.
		Archaeology seems basically to lean in the direction of this identification, in that the old 'Sumerian' remains of the Ur III dynasty are frequently found directly underneath the remains of the later Babylonian kings.
		One indication that I may be on the right track in attempting to merge the C12th BC king of Babylon, Nebuchednezzar I, with the C8th BC king of Assyria, Sennacherib, is that one finds during the reign of 'each' a vizier of such fame that he was to be remembered for centuries to come.

	Exagerrated Ages Sumerian/Babylonian Kings vs. Hebrew Patriarchs
		According to ancient Sumerian/Babylonian "king lists," their kings could live for tens of thousands of years, but of course the worthiest of the kings lists were not merely men, but gods or demigods ("kings from heaven"), whose ages could consequently be recorded astronomically.
		The ancient Sumerian/Babylonian kings list employed a similar fancy of "adding seven" to numbers, like when in two places it explicitly stated that the total length of the monarchic period preceding the Babylonian Flood was "a great sar plus seven sar."
		All in all, the ages of the partriarchs like the ages of the Sumerian/Babylonian kings, appear mythically larger than life, growing less so the nearer each king (or patriarch) came to the author's actual day.
