The year the Temple was finished being built (not furnished) was completed in the 8th month. Let's remember the dedication occurred in the 7th month.
This misdirection is so nonsensical that I had to actually laugh. Of course I’m quite aware that the dedication followed the completion of the building, and would have been in October 959 BCE following the completion in November 960 BCE (Tishri dating). And… that still leaves his math off by two years for the 480/490 years.
You can see from above that they simply looked at where Mars was and concluded it is in Praesepe and then let that be the NEW meaning of Nangaru.
More misdirection. Notice that he doesn't say what Mars did supposedly 'enter and leave' in his mangled chronology. On the required date in the imaginary chronology, 5 May 512 BCE (ignoring the impossible date for the later solstice), Mars was nowhere near Praesepe, nor was it near Cancer. For the 12 minutes that Mars was observable before sunrise on the morning of 5 May or 6 May, Mars was behind Taurus, not in Cancer. Worse still, for him, Mars didn't 'enter and leave' anything notable in the dates required in your chronology, and was only visible for a few brief periods before sunrise each morning in that period.
Even in line 8 of N/W they claim that Mercury set. They would never have seen Mercury set as it set IN the brightness of the sun.
Mercury did in fact set after sunset behind Gemini on 31 May 568 BCE as expected (most of Gemini having set before Mercury). You're just outright lying at this point.
