Sobre IBD

This monograph delves into astronomy’s crucial role in refining historical timelines. By analyzing phenomena like solar/lunar eclipses and planetary conjunctions, it offers precise chronological markers that help historians and archaeologists validate ancient civilizations’ timelines.Drawing on interdisciplinary research, it highlights cases where astronomical calculations resolved dating uncertainties, such as synchronizing Israelite/Judean kings with Neo-Assyrian and Achaemenid rulers using sources like Babylonian tablets, Assyrian chronicles, and Greek accounts. The study underscores the reliability of celestial mechanics in dating biblical events and classical antiquity. It also addresses challenges like misinterpreting historical records, limitations of past observations, and reliance on ancient translations. Prominent controversies are explored, including dating Jesus’ birth and death, Quirinius’ census, and the reign of Ashurnasirpal II, linked to Carthage’s founding in 870 BCE. Advocating transdisciplinary collaboration, the book showcases how integrating scientific methods unveils history with remarkable accuracy.

  • Mesopotamian chronology (2340-539 BCE) through astronomically dated synchronisms and comparison with carbon-14 dating
    GERARD GERTOUX
    The 614 Assyrian eponyms between the first year of Šamšî-Adad I and the first year of Tiglath-pileser I (1115-1076) allow us to date the reign of Šamšî-Adad I (1728-1695) approximately. As the Assyrian years were lunar before the reign of Ninurta-apil-Ekur (1192-1179), this makes it possible to slightly correct the reign of Šamšî-Adad I (1712-1680), yet as this Amorite king die...

  • Absolute Egyptian chronology
    GERARD GERTOUX
    Egyptian king lists make it possible to elaborate a chronology of all kings up to Narmer (2838-2808), because the numerous synchronisms between Egyptian and Mesopotamian reigns make it possible to anchor the 30 dynasties of this Egyptian chronology. These synchronisms with the Achaemenid and Babylonian chronologies, which are anchored on absolute dates obtained by astronomy ove...
