The Epoch of the Nabonassarian Era and the Chronology of Ancient Persia Vedveer Arya

It is well known that the chronological history of Persia, Egypt, Babylonia, Greece, Israel, Syria and Rome is closely interlinked with the chronology of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia. Therefore, the historians have agreed upon the timeline of the Achaemenid Empire given by Ptolemy to be the sheet anchor of the chronological history of all western ancient kingdoms. According to Ptolemy, Cyrus, the founder of the Achaemenid Empire, ascended the throne in the year 210 of the Nabonassarian era. Though the historians have rightly assumed the Ptolemaic chronology as authentic but they have fixed the epoch of the Nabonassarian era in 747 BCE based on the fictitious epoch of the Christian era (1 CE). Let us critically examine the evidence independently and arrive at the epoch of the Nabonassarian era without any prejudice to the epoch of 1 CE. Interestingly, Theon of Alexandria records in his commentary on

Chronological Framework of Ancient History. 5: The Babylonian Dynasties of Berossus

Chronological Framework of Ancient History

This paper is the fifth in the Chronological Framework of Ancient History series in which the authors attempt to build a model of ancient history using the durations recorded by the ancient chroniclers, with the goal of finding a result that is consistent with the biblical text. The methodology for this series was developed in the first paper CFAH-1 (Griffith and White 2022a).

In each paper as we triangulate the dates for events, we number them as anchor points, which are also recorded as a tab in the accompanying spreadsheet, and numbered in the form AP-X, where X is the number of the anchor point in the series. The “Anchor Points” tab lists the anchor points in the order they are determined for the first five papers, and lists the paper in this series as CFAH-X where X is the paper. You are currently reading CFAH-5. We will release updates to the spreadsheet as the series progresses. Previous papers in the series are available at the Answers Re

Chaldean dynasty

Kings of Babylon, 626 BC – 539 BC

The Chaldean dynasty, also known as the Neo-Babylonian dynasty^[b] and enumerated as Dynasty X of Babylon,^[c] was the ruling dynasty of the Neo-Babylonian Empire, ruling as kings of Babylon from the ascent of Nabopolassar in 626 BC to the fall of Babylon in 539 BC. The dynasty, as connected to Nabopolassar through descent, was deposed in 560 BC by the Aramean official Neriglissar (r. 560–556 BC), though he was connected to the Chaldean kings through marriage and his son and successor, Labashi-Marduk (r. 556 BC), might have reintroduced the bloodline to the throne. The final Neo-Babylonian king, Nabonidus (r. 556–539 BC), was genealogically unconnected to the previous kings, but might, like Neriglissar, also have been connected to the dynasty through marriage.

History

The term "Chaldean dynasty", and the corresponding "Chaldean Empire", an alternate historiographical name for the Neo-Babylonian Empire, derives from the assumption that the dynasty's founder, Nabopolassar, was
