MARKING TIME

17. Putting it all together

Supergranny provided sound dates for the last kings of the Assyrian Empire, and they agree well enough with the dates in Ptolemyís Royal Canon. the dates of the kings can be refined by the astronomical fixes provided by the Astronomical Diary No.-651 and the Saturn data of Kandalanu. Additionally, Esarhaddon's double-date are congruent with the conventional date of 763 BC for the eponymy of Bur-Saggile. Evidently the 910-649 BC dates of the Eponym List are well-founded.
