Foreword
This new publication largely follows the evidence of the bookNew Chronology using solar eclipses, Volume III. Hereinafter, this book is referred to as the “NCUSES”. However, here we look at ancient eclipses from a completely different, even very extraordinary from perspective.
So this book has several new chapters and new studies with a wealth of additional information. In addition, detailed information has been added to many chapters and, as a new feature, where the location of the solar eclipse is shown on the map.
A new appendix that makes the overall picture somewhat easier is also a list of all the ancient eclipses whose dates have been identified well enough.
One notable new feature of this treatise is a closer look at early history.
The dates in this dissertation that differ from the traditional chronology of the reigns of the various kings could surprise the reader. Therefore, this foreword examines the background to the conclusions of this dissertation over the years. The author began researching the history of solar eclipses recorded in history and the timing of their course in the winter of 2017.
Now that this study has been completed, questions arise: Why is it necessary to study ancient eclipses in a very exceptional way, as mentioned above? What secret does an examination of the ancient eclipses reveal about the events of history and timing of he chronology?
Although this treatise focuses on the study and application of ancient solar eclipses, the opening chapters of this book begin by reviewing a few important archaeological results as they confirm a timing that deviates from traditional chronology.
Solar eclipse of the Assyria
Already at the very beginning of this study, in January 2017, it was clear that the solar eclipse in June 763 BCE.could not coincide with the history of Assyria until the 9th year of Ashur-Dan III’s reign.
The reason for this was its very blatant contradiction with Israel’s history. Based on this, it was easy to start looking for that eclipse at other times. So it could be stated right at the beginning of the research that there are only t
