one source date February 2012 no footnotes date February 2012 Portal Ancient Near East Before the decipherment of Cuneiform script cuneiform text, knowledge of the history of the ancient Mesopotamia and was mostly dependent upon classical authorities, besides the Hebrew Bible . These testimonies were scanty and confused for times predating the 7th century BCE. Had the native history of Berossus survived, this may not have been the case all that is known of the Chaldaean historian s work, however, is derived from quotations in Josephus , Ptolemy , Chronicon Eusebius Eusebius , Chronicon Jerome Jerome and George Syncellus . Classical Greece The account of Babylon given by Herodotus is not that of an eye witness and not very extensive. In his Histories he mentions that he will devote a whole section to the history of Assyria, but this promise was unfulfilled, or perhaps the book has been lost. Herodotus opinions are disputed by Ctesias , who, however, has mistaken mythology for history, and Greek romance owed to him its Ninus and Semiramis , its Ninyas and Sardanapalus . Xenophon s account in the Anabasis Xenophon Anabasis gives information on the Achaemenid Empire of his time. Hellenistic era Berossus The authenticity of his list of 10 antediluvian kings who reigned for 120 sari or 432,000 years, has been partially confirmed by the inscriptions but his 8 postdiluvian dynasties are difficult to reconcile with the monuments, and the numbers associated with them are probably corrupt.

The Canon of Kings was a dated list of kings used by ancient astronomer s as a convenient means to date astronomical phenomena, such as eclipse s. The Canon was preserved by the astronomer Claudius Ptolemy , and is thus sometimes called Ptolemy s Canon . It is one of the most important bases for our knowledge of Chronology of the Ancient Near East ancient chronology . The Canon derives originally from Babylon ian sources. Thus, it lists Kings of Babylon from 747 BC until the fall of Babylon to the Persians in 539 BC , and then Persian kings from 538 BC 538 to 332 BC . At this point, the Canon was taken up by Greek astronomers in Alexandria , and lists the Macedon ian kings from 331 BC 331 to 305 BC , the Ptolemies from 304 BC to 30 BC , and the Roman Emperor s from 29 BC to 160 AD . The Canon only deals in whole years. Thus, monarchs who reigned for less than one year are not listed, and only one monarch is listed in any year with multiple monarchs. Usually, the overlapping year is given to the monarch who died in that year, but not always. Note that both periods where no king is listed represent times when Sennacherib , King of Assyria , held effective control over Babylon. His name is not listed because of the hatred the Babylonians held for him due to his destruction of the city in 689 BC . Fact date June 2009 The Canon is generally considered by historians Fact date November 2007 to be extremely accurate. The dates have been confirmed to be essentially accurate whenever they are checked against independent sources Fact date November 2007 . Thus, the vast majority of historians and archaeologists view Babylonian chronology back to 747 BC as settled.
