Cronologia e 607 AEC · Claim record

A defesa mais sustentada de 607 AEC feita por um semitista de formação acadêmica é a de Rolf Furuli, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Egyptian Chronology, volume II (Oslo: Awatu Publishers, 2.ª ed., 2008), publicada por uma pequena editora não acadêmica. Hermann Hunger, coeditor da edição de referência dos diários astronômicos, escreveu uma resenha detalhada da obra, na qual rejeitou as leituras que Furuli faz de vários sinais cuneiformes e qualificou de “utterly groundless” a sugestão de que a VAT 4956 tivesse sido adulterada.

A posição da organização ou explicação posterior: Hunger relata, com as próprias palavras de Furuli, a abordagem que este declara — que “the Bible, cuneiform tablets, and different kinds of historical data are put on the same level” — e concede a ele que a verdade não é decidida por “the consensus of the majority of scholars”. Em seguida, rejeita essa abordagem: “This overlooks the differences between these data … A critical evaluation of the sources is unavoidable for history writing.”

Online review (no journal of publication stated), “Review of Rolf J. Furuli, Assyrian, Babylonian, and Egyptian Chronology, Volume II (Oslo: Awatu Publishers, 2nd ed., 2008)”

2008 · Hermann Hunger

“As for someone adding the numbers 37 and 38, there is no way of successfully adding cuneiform writing to a dried tablet. ... I state that the accusation is utterly groundless”

Hermann Hunger, co-editor of the standard edition of the astronomical diaries, responds in detail to the argument of Rolf Furuli, a Witness and former lecturer in Semitic languages at Oslo, that VAT 4956 supports 588/587 rather than 568/567 BCE and that the tablet may have been altered. Hunger also grants Furuli's general point that truth is not decided by 'the consensus of the majority of scholars'.

Notes. The review also reports that F. R. Stephenson and D. M. Willis, evaluating the lunar data in Under One Sky (Muenster, 2002), concluded that the date 568/7 BC can be 'confidently affirmed'.

Under One Sky: Astronomy and Mathematics in the Ancient Near East (AOAT 297), “The Earliest Datable Observation of the Aurora Borealis”

2002 · pp.421-428 · F. Richard Stephenson and David M. Willis · Ugarit-Verlag, Muenster

“This and other observations in the month imply that the auroral display occurred on the night of March 12/13 in 567 BC”

A peer-reviewed chapter analysing the observations in VAT 4956. Its dating of the phenomena to 568/567 BCE is independent of the lunar-position argument.

Nota de procedência e verificação

Nota de confiança. The chapter itself was NOT opened in this session. The quoted sentence is the note recorded against this discussion in the eBL bibliography for VAT.4956, read on 19 September 2026 in the eBL API record (archiveUrl above); that record gives the chapter’s pages as 421-428. Hermann Hunger’s review of Furuli separately reports that Stephenson and Willis concluded the date 568/7 BC can be “confidently affirmed” and gives the pages as 423-428; The Watchtower of 1 November 2011, note 18a, gives them as 420-428. The three page ranges disagree and the discrepancy is unresolved.
