A posição da organização ou explicação posterior: O Estudo Perspicaz chama 539 AEC de ‘a pivotal point’ e diz que uma data desse tipo precisa ser ‘a date in history that has sound basis for acceptance and that corresponds with a particular event recorded in the Bible’.

Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 1, “Chronology”

1988 · pp.458-459 · under “From Human Creation to the Present” · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“Another date that can be used as a pivotal point is the year 539 B.C.E., supported by various historical sources as the year for the overthrow of Babylon by Cyrus the Persian. (Secular sources for Cyrus’ reign include Diodorus, Africanus, Eusebius, and Ptolemy, as well as the Babylonian tablets.)”

The article explains that a pivotal date must be “a date in history that has sound basis for acceptance and that corresponds with a particular event recorded in the Bible”, and reasons that Cyrus’ decree was issued by the winter of 538 or spring of 537 B.C.E., allowing the exiles to reach Jerusalem “by the seventh month (Tishri, or about October 1) of 537 B.C.E.”

Notes. Insight calls 539 BCE a “pivotal point”, not an “absolute date”; the earlier “absolute date” wording belongs to the 1968 Watchtower articles recorded separately. It names Ptolemy among its supports.

The Watchtower, “When Was Ancient Jerusalem Destroyed?—Part One (box: “A Pivotal Date in History”)”

1 de outubro de 2011 · p.28 · box · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“The date 539 B.C.E. when Cyrus II conquered Babylon is calculated using the testimony of: ▪ Ancient historical sources and cuneiform tablets: Diodorus of Sicily (c. 80-20 B.C.E.) … The Greek historian Herodotus (c. 485-425 B.C.E.) … Cuneiform tablets show that Cyrus ruled Babylon for nine years before his death.”

The box adds: “Confirmation by a cuneiform tablet: A Babylonian astronomical clay tablet (BM 33066) confirms the date of Cyrus’ death in 530 B.C.E. Though this tablet contains some errors regarding the astronomical positions, it contains the descriptions of two lunar eclipses that the tablet says occurred in the seventh year of Cambyses II”, identified with eclipses of 16 July 523 B.C.E. and 10 January 522 B.C.E.

Notes. The fixed point of the whole scheme, 539 BCE, is established from classical historians and from an astronomical tablet — the two classes of evidence the same series treats as unreliable for the Neo-Babylonian reigns.
