Hi Matt.  I can see you are a non-Biblicalist.  But actually as far as my 
timeline
I don't need the Bible at all.  You see, I can date the 1st of Akhenaton to
1386 BCE via the KTU 1.78 eclipse text.  I can date the Assyrian eponym
event to 709BCE and thus Karkar in 799BCE an Shishak in 871BCE.  Notice,
I've mentioned no imaginary Biblical characters!   I can date the fall of 
Jericho
25-40 years after the reign of Amenhotep III.   I can use the VAT4956 that
has double-dating to year 37 of Nebuchadnezzar to both 568BCE and 511BCE
to redate his reign to 437BCE.  I can use the Nabon 18 eclipse reference and
now the Thales eclipse to confirm the 2nd year of Nabonidus to 479-478 BCE.
I can redate the the eclipse from the Peloponnesian War to 402BCE when
Plato was actually alive to help solve the "The Delian Problem" rather than 
in
currently dated 431BCE, which was before he was born.   I can prove from
Persepolis that Darius died just two years after he began to build there 
forcing his
son to finish the compound.  I can prove from cryptic references in 
Herodotus that
Darius died at Marathon and was beheaded.  I can prove that Xerxes went by 
the
name of Artaxerxes even up to his 27th year and were thus the same king.

So frankly, I don't need the Bible or any Bible characters to correct the 
revised
timeline.   I can vindicate Thales' prediction for a 478BCE eclipse during 
the
reign of Nabonidus though! I can confirm the 763BCE eclipse event in the
Assyrian eponym would have never been dated in month three since its a month
two eclipse.   I can redate the beginning of the Peloponnesian War to 403BCE
which has Socrates dying in 466BCE when so-called "Phaedo" was 18 years old,
the exact same age of Aristotle.  Then I can show you all the references in 
Aristotle
that proves he not only knew Socrates but admired and loved him since they 
were
lovers.  Now I didn't come up with that on my own through my vivid imaging, 
I actually
found a reference for that in a docudrama book!  So people know about these 
revisions
and little selective academic circles, but I suppose the idea of a juicy 
little ancient secret
is just too much fun to share with the world at this time.  They'd prefer 
them remaining
in the dark and ignorant I guess.

So basically, I can correct the timeline archaeologially and astronomically 
without the Bible
or the mention of any Bible characters, quite effectively.

So please, you go on believing that Plato was consulted to solve a 
mathematical problem three
years before he was born as long as you need to.  It won't bother me a bit.

In the meantime, I'm going to be trying to figure out how I can get academic 
credit and
especially some FUNDING for discovering how Thales predicted that eclipse in 
Ionia in
478BCE during the reign of "Labytenus"!

I totally appreciate your position as a skeptic.  But that's only because an 
angel
hasn't personally appeared to you.   Don't underestimate God's way of 
dealing
with doubters.  You know, lots of people doubted Noah, but everybody was
a believers after it started raining.  That's ALL that is missing.  God 
appearing
actively beyond the written word.  That's ALL you're really after.  God to 
show
himself  beyond the written words.

Well, not any more.  Again, the Jews and Catholics have played with the 
timeline
and that has made a difference in the credibility.  That can be corrected 
now and
there is far more credibility "scientifically" as far as history is 
concerned all the way from
the Exodus in the 1st of Akhenaton, who did convert to Yawist monothesias 
after
the ten plagues, through the Persian Period where Persepolis confirms the 
death of
Darius I after is sixth year.  So it's not "quite" the same slam-dunk 
dismissal it used
to be.  Not for extreme Biblicalists.  For meandering semi-Bliblicalists 
though the
news is pretty bad (i.e. Jehovah's witnesses whose chronology line is more 
than a
century askew by the time of the Exodus).

Hey... Valvuable artifacts don't survive.  If trinkets from the time of 
Solomon
were considered valuable then  they are in private collections.  They are 
not going
to be discarded in trash heaps for archaeologists to find later on. 
Solomon had a
lot of gold...I wonder why there is no evidenc of it around now?

I don't have to dance.   The 763BCE eclipse occurs in month 2, not month 3.
It's misdated.  End of story.  That is simply based upon knowledge of the
pagan calendar dating practices.   The Assyrian eponym list was a "civil"
record that recorded major events for each year.  No other eclipse is 
mentioned.
But if an eclipse was predicted and the nation was able to participate in 
that even,
it would have been GLORIOUS!  They would have wanted to remember that year.
That's what 709 BCE is about:  Month 3, predicted eclipse.  And it forms the
basis for the Thales prediction.  He's vindicated now.  This is NEW.   The
renown expert in the field, Otto Neugebaur didn't even know about this. 
This
discovery needs to be named after me and I need to get some money or a grant
from this discovery at some point.  That's where this is!   This is a MAJOR
discovery.  But.... you have to use the actual original timeline, not the 
fake
revised timeline.  A lot of people are ready for "conspiracy theories" 
(oops,
I used the C-word!!!)

 But it says nothing about the mythical Moses, Joshua or Solomon.
>
I don't need Moses, Joshua or Solomon.  Akhenaton conveted to an invisble
monotheistic god in the first year of his reign dated to 1386 BCE based upon
the KTU 1.78 astronomical text.  That's "absoute dating."  Coincidentally,
1386BCE is 69 jubilees from 1947.  I'm pretty sure this is just a 
coincidence!
I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.  The fact that 455BCE is 50 
jubilees
from 1947 is also just a freak coincidence.  Purely trivia.  Not worth 
mentioning
really...

Hey.  You can either keep up or read about it later....   Up to you.
