never a jw
To complement it get the studies of Doug Mason and Carl Olof Jonsson. Search also for information regarding VAT4956. Lots of people have used their astronomy programs to confirm the 37th year of the reign of Nebuchanezzar (568/567BCE)

I would also recommend you see this:
*** w65 1/1 p. 29 The Rejoicing of the Wicked Is Short-lived ***
Amel-Marduk (Evil-merodach) as the oldest son succeeded Nebuchadnezzar to the throne in 581 B.C.Eand a major contradiction in the same article... a paragraph or two later:
*** w65 1/1 p. 29 The Rejoicing of the Wicked Is Short-lived ***
Evil-merodach reigned two years and was murdered by his brother-in-law Neriglissar, who reigned for four years, which time he spent mainly in building operations. His underage son Labashi-Marduk, a vicious boy, succeeded him, and was assassinated within nine months. Nabonidus, who had served as governor of Babylon and who had been Nebuchadnezzar’s favorite son-in-law, took the throne and had a fairly glorious reign until Babylon fell in 539 B.C.E.Do the math...
539 --> ??? (When Nabonidus started reigning)...
The insight book says:
*** it-2 p. 457 Nabonidus ***
On the basis of cuneiform texts he is believed to have ruled some 17 years (556-539 B.C.E.)
So now we have Nabonidus at 556.
Then the previous ruler ruled for 9 months. Let's make it 556 still.
Next ruler for 4 years, 560
Next ruler for 2 years, 562. (With ruling years, give or take one, it could be 561)
But the beginning of the article says 581!
There is a lie of the JW's in the same article!!
BUSTED!!

You're welcome!! It's called the KISS method of debunking the 587/607 date...
