Ancient “Curse” Amulet Drastically Changes Perspective on Biblical Dating

[thatancientfaith.uk]

Actually, conservative Biblical scholars and archaeologists have argued for an earlier date for the Exodus, as well as for the subsequent entry of the Israelites into Canaan, for many years. So, I don't find this all that surprising.

Those who studied this in the past most likely made a mistake in pegging the year. Even our calendar which is supposed to start the year Christ was born was a miscalculation. Two intensive studies were made and both came up with two dates - both in September - of 2BC.

Right. Most things I've read also say that Jesus was actually born c. 2-4 B.C.

@KeithThroop One who made a serious study on dates and years was Sir Robert Anderson. That's how we know that the Triumphal Entry was on April 6, 32AD. It came 69 weeks of [Jewish] years or exactly 173,880 days from March 14, 445BC, the day king Artaxerxes made a decree that the Jews in captivity in Babylon could now go home and rebuild the city (Dan 9:25). Angel Gabriel's margin for error? Zero.
