The Ptolemaic king list is greatly supported by scholars.
Plus, the Watchtower has used it in their calculation of kingly rulership. They just conveniently don't reference it in conjunction with Jerusalem's destruction.

Ptolemy's "Canon" unreliable .
by hamsterbait inthe "canon" of ptolemy cannot be used to reconstruct babylonian succession.
this is because it is an astronomical treatise.. it does not even pretend to be a history of the babylonian kings list.. ptolemy compiled his information to back up the (at that time) astonishing accuracy with which astronomical events could be predicted and traced using his model of the solar system expounded in the almagest.. so if no notable event happened in the reign of a particular king, he is not mentioned.. however events which could be traced to a date and time, are mentioned, and the king ruling at the time named.
this would facilitate tracing the records made by the babylonians who were expert observers of celestial phenomena.. the egyptian historical records also show 587 as the date of jerusalem being sacked.

My purpose in this life finally found it's meaning
by sweetface2233 inwell over 30 years ago on a lovely spring morning, my mother held me for the first time and looked onto my little pink face and said, my little baby is going to make a difference.
i heard her recount this story over and over throughout my life.
i never really understood what my purpose could be.

was that a Witness on American Idol last night?
by Burger Time ini had the sneaky suspicion the girl in the picture below was a dub.
she had never drank, smoked or watched a rated r movie.
she was married at a young age and just seemed too wholesome.
