interpretation about the time span between the two Temple destructions. The duration of the Persian Period is arbitrarily shortened in the Seder Olam to accommodate the rabbinical chronology. Wikipedia says this: The traditional dates of events in Jewish history are often expressed in relation to the Gregorian calendar. For example, the traditional Jewish date for the destruction of the First Temple (3338 AM = Gregorian 423 BCE) differs from the modern scientific date, which is usually expressed using the Gregorian calendar as 586 BCE. Implicit in this practice is the view that if all the differences in structure between the Hebrew and Gregorian calendars are taken into consideration, the two dates can be derived from each other. This is not the case. If the traditional dates of events before the Second Temple era are assumed to be using the standard Hebrew calendar, they refer to different objective years than those of the secular dates. The discrepancy is some 165 years. My use of the Seder Olam for research purposes is confined mainly to cross-checking the very accurate biblical chronology produced from the Bible, especially during the period of the divided monarchies, and, I emphasize again, it is never used as the primary source to supplant the biblical text. However, the Seder Olam can be a useful work for cross-checking and verifying the chronological details of events and time periods that occurred before the Exile, but only after the overall chronology has been derived from the biblical text. Note: If you are a serious student of Bible chronology, you can secure a copy of an English edition, as follows: Seder Olam: The Rabbinic View of Biblical Chronology by Heinrich W. Guggenheimer (ISBN 978-0765760210).
