    The first one was done in the Design window and the second in the HTML window, so forget what I said about going into the HTML window (weird, cause it should work there), just type the anpersand, letter name, and semicolon in the usual window.

    You guys are great! Ok, how did you enlarge the font? Changing it in the HTML window messes things up.

    http://www.uwm.edu/cgi-bin/corre/calendar?-568
    JUL 15 (-588) & JUL 4 (-568) <=> TAM 19
    or:

    Welcome 1914etc.

    A little tip when converting one calendar to another in BCE dates. You have to remember that when putting in a minus you have to deduct a year from the BCE date. So -568 = 569 BCE, and -588 = 589 BCE. It's a necessary convention to help with calendric calculations. Also, the Hebrew calendar doesn't necessarily correspond exactly to the Babylonian calendar (I've made that mistake before).

    Hi Lady Liberty & AnnOMaly

    Ann, did you check the links I gave? Because I have, and the conclusions are the same. All those converters show that 15 July from 588 BC and 4 July from 568 BC correspond to the same day (13 or 19) and the same month (Tammuz, the 4th) in the Jewish calendar, which from what I know is similar to the Babylonian calendar.
