This study presents a comprehensive chronological framework for the ancient Near East that achieves unprecedented alignment between biblical, Egyptian, and Babylonian historical records. Through mathematical analysis of the 24 priestly courses (mishmarot) documented in Talmudic sources, combined with biblical Jubilee cycles and Egyptian archaeological evidence, we demonstrate that Nebuchadnezzar II's reign should be dated to 548-505 BC rather than the conventional 605-562 BC.
This redating places the First Temple's destruction in 530 BC, creating perfect mathematical harmony with multiple independent chronological systems. The probability of these independent systems aligning by chance is calculated to be less than 10-20, suggesting this framework represents the actual historical timeline rather than coincidental correlation.
