P.S. Fortunately the archaeology for the revised dating is easy now. You just need the specifics on Persepolis which was built in just five years though the archaeologists are claiming it too 57 years (they avoid the topic), and the critical two astronomical texts of the VAT4956 and the SK400 which is dating the Neo-Babylonian period right now. Once you have the critical details about these "archaeological" evidences, then you can dismiss everything else which only consist of either revised-copied documents or non-datable contemporary records. The 529BCE chronology is absolute from the very narrow field of astrochronology, the only field that can truly date anything in the past. Both tablets date the 19th year of Neb-2 to 529BCE!
Ask any questions you want. I've studied all the archaeology so I know where the holes are! :>
But if you want to, you can see what the experts say as well. A lot of my research involves quotes from archaeology and professors of history, etc.
But you are correct to understand that the Bible is the true book of history and that per the Bible, the 70-weeks prophecy MUST begin in 455BCE at the time the Jews returned and first began to rebuild Jerusalem, thus in the 1st of Cyrus. That requires the fall of Jerusalem 74 years earlier in 529BCE. End of story. But now directly absolute-dated by astrotext records from the Seleucid Period. Your research should BEGIN with these texts! It's the latest and no-one, even COJ, is up to date on the double-dating in these texts.
