Daniel in Shinar

• Daniel (the prophet of the book of Daniel)

• Start — Daniel 1:1. The year Daniel's captivity began is the year Jehoiakim's reign began (3353) + the year of his reign with the captivity began (3) + 1 year for accession year undercount = 3357
• End — Daniel 1:21. The year Daniel's captivity ended is the first year of Cyrus' reign over Babylon = 3423

START:*HYPOTHESIS: Daniel's count used the accession year counting of Jehoiakim's regnal years resulting in a 1-year undercount. See dataset notes for more information. [Shulman date p146] [Ussher date p96] END:As a captive of Babylon, Daniel would have only been set free in the first year of Cyrus AFTER Cyrus conqured Babylon. [Shulman date p146] [Ussher date p117]

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
