This is information gained from Carl Olof Jonsson's book entitled "The Gentile Times Reconsidered"
It's an EXTREMELY valuable piece of proof that utterly demolishes the Watchtower claim of "extra kings" and "extra time" being inserted into the discussion!
Saw your vid. Quite cool.
Will check this out later. . .
My backlog of youtubes is getting out of control!
I have enjoyed all of your videos. This one too! Thanks for the AMMO!
I wasn't able to access your video, but yes, Egibi does pretty much put the last nail in the 607 coffin. I would love to get an English translation of the Egibi letters and scholarly analysis--I can't find anything out there that's not in Dutch or German (or something I can't read). Any suggestions?
no ideas at all. I was asked this on one of the video comments. If you find a way let me know. I tried to post the video in the comments to play directly from here, but it didn't work. You can copy and paste the url however. I need to find out how to put avideo directly into the post.

Wow!! Historically blows 607 right out of the water, doesn't it!

I found an article by Cornelia Wunsch - The Egibi Family's Real Estate in Babylon (6th century BC) - on academia.edu. It has a helpful chart where you can see which Egibi officiated in which king's reign and for how long:
If you have trouble accessing the whole article, PM me. It is a struggle finding accessible, pertinent articles or books on this in English. And unless you buy Wunsch's 2 volumes (German), I don't think you'll readily find translations/discussions of the tablets all in one place.
Wait, wait, wait!
Good ol' archive.org.
Records of the Past: Being English Translations of the Assyrian and Egyptian Monuments, Vol. XI, Assyrian Texts (1878) - a short discussion and a few of the tablets translated by T.G. Pinches on p. 85-98.
Good video.
Thanks for the references ANNOMALY
