Tom
THE CONVERSION :
2,520 yrs X 360 days = 907,200 days
Now divide 907,200 days by 365.25 yrs
Total calendar yrs = 2,483.77
2,483.77 - 536 BC = 1947.77
You failed math didn't you?
2520 yrs x 360 days = 907,200 days
2520 yrs x 365 days = 919,800 days
This is a difference of 12,600 days
12,600 days divided by 365 days = 34.52 years
2520/4 = 630 this is the number of days to account for leap years.
630days/365 days/year = 1.72 years
34.52 years + 1.72 years = 36.24 years
Add 1 to account for b.c. to a.d. change gives a total of 37.24 years.
Now we continue in the vein you submitted and subtract this from the 2520 years and we end up with 2482.76 A.D. Damn it Israel is not a nation for another 477.76 years.Guess we screwed up eh?

I did indeed.Back to school for me.However a new problem crops up when you point this out.Why do we not include the dates prior to 536 b.c. with a conversion to 365 days/per year also? This would I assume skew the results?
