I was hoping that this thread would be devoted to a comparison of the VAT 4956 lunar observations with the computed results from the Cartes du Ciel (SKy Maps) astronomical software.

on p. 26-27 they talk about how the lunar positions on vat 4956 fit 588/7 bce!!!.
"clearly, much of the astronomical data in vat 4956 fits the year 588 b.c.e.

The Watchtower really does not want to answer questions about 607 anymore.
That is why they published this two part article with the title "When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?"
In the future, when a person writes The Watchtower inquiring about 607 vs 587, The Watchtower will simply respond by referring the person to this two part article.
The whole point of publishing it is to make things easier for The Watchtower.
I am going to guess that The Watchtower will also never identify who the unnamed researchers are who analyzed the lunar data contained in VAT 4956.
The Watchtower does not understand that it cannot present the results or findings of research without providing a reference to the research itself.
Results are empty statements without details to back them up!

The Nov. 1st Watchtower article mentions the following reference in two of its footnotes, 18 and 20.
Ein astronomischer Beobachtungstext aus dem 37. Jahre Nebukadnezars II. (-567/66); Sitzung vom 1. Mai 1915. [Von] Paul V. Neugebauer und Ernst F. Weidner (1915)
It can be downloaded from this web page:
http://www.archive.org/details/einastronomische00neuguoft
English translation of the title is:
An astronomical observation text from the 37th Year of Nebuchadnezzar II.

I want to use the freeware astronomical software to see how the computed lunar positions compare with the observations recorded in VAT 4956.
What is the "proleptic Julian calendar"?
I probably should start a new thread for this topic.

A minor observation concerning the Nov. 1st article.
In the section concerning "Astronomical tablets" there is a subsection that asks the question "What do the documents show?"
But ONLY one document, VAT 4956, is considered!

The Dog that did not bark: Jehovah's Witnesses' greatest mystery
by Terry in'the dog that didn't bark' is an expression from a sherlock holmes mystery.
it was an important clue that led to identifying the criminal.. it seems that the killer entered and left the estate grounds one night but without the guard dog barking an alarm at the intruder's presence as expected.. from this nonevent holmes reasoned that the dog must have known the killer and that clue led to solving the case.. .
jehovah's witnesses are "the dog that didn't bark.".

I liked this movie. In particular the first 45 minutes before the Kaiju appears.
AAB-gamma!

Does anyone know if the VAT 4956 observational data has been converted into a modern format?
This is necessary in order to perform a comparison of the tablet's data with the data produced by an astronomy program.
