What is interesting about this seal is not so much the name "Temech" but the (idolatrous) religious iconography. Sin was the dominant god under the reign of Nabonidus and if the seal belonged to exiles who returned in the reign of Cyrus, the imagery would maybe suggest that the family were devotees of Sin, not Yahweh (or in addition to Yahweh), during the exile.
Wow, it was 586 BCE!

The calculations I was presenting point to the year 587 BC and 70 AD.
Even Harold Camping who came up with his peculiar methods of counting the chronology would agree with that .
Read his booklet : Adam When ?
Note the age of the world by his calculations based on the Bible is about 13000 years.Adam was already in the year 11013 BC.He puts the Flood of Noah at 4990 BC.
In my calculations the dates are: 4027 BC and 2372 BC respectively and yet we agree on 587 BC and 70 AD.
The age of the universe in my calculations based on the Bible is more than 15 billion years - exactly like the scientists could claim .

What is wrong with a king-based calendar? Like... We are living in the 8th year of King G.W. Bush :)
Try checking.
Basing the length of time America has been a country in its own right, just using presidents as a mesure seems a good idea, knowing that a Presidential term is 4 years and knowing the names of Presidents who have served..........right up until you find that not all Presidents served 4 year terms.
And this is based on a fixed term of office, ancient kings served for life, or until deposed, a much murkier record.

Note I have written more than 15 billion years and it is the age of the present universe we live in.
We have 6 days for creation. Near the end of the 6th day which lasted more than 2 billion years God Yahweh created man In this setting scientists can put the age of man between some 2 billion yeara and some 6 000 years.
The last date is 4027 BC and now we have 2008 AD- so nobody can claim man existed less than 6034 years.
So the age of 50 000 or 13 000 are within the limitations.
If you prove we exists as humans 566 000 000 years it will be acceptable.

New developments...the reading on the seal is disputed...
