  VAT4956 - 530 BC destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar

  by jwposter in

  2. bible

  in my studies, i have concluded that year 530 bc was when the destruction of jerusalem occurred and the temple destroyed.

  i had determined this prior to investigation of vat4956.

  i had already found that the jubilees, sabbaticals, courses of the priests, and chronology attested to this.

  Southern fish was the name for Piscis_Austrinus in the original translation of the VAT and preceded the change later to the Swallow. Here is from the original translated to English by Ann O'Maly

  2. Saturn opposite the southern Fish of the Zodiac. On the morning of the 2 nd , a

  rainbow formed an arc in the west. On the night of the 3 rd , the moon 2 cubits in front

  of [...].

  From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piscis_Austrinus
  

  "Pisces Austrinus originated with the Babylonian constellation simply known as the Fish (MUL.KU)"

  Parts of constellation Aquarius may have be associated with the the Fish or (southern fish) constellation. See the following for more on this:

  -567

  Obverse Line 2:

  2: Saturn was in front of the Swallow. The 2nd, in the morning, a rainbow stretched in the west. Night of the

  (corresponding to month 1 day 1). Notice it says that Saturn is in FRONT of the Swallow but the astronomy shows it is BEHIND the Swallow.
  

  

  A pic showing this for -567 with Babylonian MUL.APIN skylore:

  

  You can see already that -567 fails in the first two lines of the Obverse. Now consider how profound that is because if the moon if off in the first line and that translation is correct then the observations relative to the moon are off on all the rest. So any other potential alignments would have to be compensated for an acceptance of this displacement.

  Obv'

  1: Year 37 of Nebukadnezar, king of Babylon. Month I (the 1st of which was identical with) the 30th (of the

  preceding month), the moon became visible behind the Bull of Heaven; [sunset to moonset:] .... [ .... ]

  Here is -567 showing that the Moon is NOT behind the Bull of Heaven:

  Reference:

  Mathieu Ossendrijver (Berlin) Translating Babylonian Astronomical Diaries and Procedure Texts

  “Behind”: the Akkadian word, arki, is abbreviated to ar2. The directions “behind” and “in front of” are defined in relation to the daily rotation of the sky which proceeds from east to west for an observer in the northern hemisphere, i.e. “behind” is “to the east of”, and “in front of” is “to the west of”.

  Piscis Austrinus was the Southern Fish. Again this is day 1 of the first month:

  Someone, Anyone, help Jeffro. I can't say how many times I've said you got the wrong year. Moon day 1 behind Taurus.

  Going to stop responding to Jeffro. Just no reasonable logical way to have a discussion with her.

  Jeffro:

  You're delusional. That isn't what 'behind' means. Go away.
  

  You fell into a trap there. I can understand why you would be frustrated. Again, the timeline I posted gives me an advantage because I know that the 37th year of Nebuchadnezzar is 512 BC without VAT4956.

  Jeffro:

  The 9th day of the 3rd month is necessarily two full lunar cycles plus 9 days (inclusive) after the 1st day of the 1st month. A lunar cycle is 29.5 days. The solstice was on 29 June in 512 BCE. 67 days before 29 June is 23 April.
  

  And that made no sense at all. Again, doesn't explain why someone would try to pass off the 20th day of a lunar month as a match to line 1.
