  • 1. the Biblical Data Regarding Darius the Mede
    Andrews University Seminary Studies, Autumn 1982, Vol. 20, No. 3, 229-217. Copyright 0 1982 by Andrews University Press. DARIUS THE MEDE: AN UPDATE WILLIAM H. SHEA Andrews University The two main historical problems which confront us in the sixth chapter of Daniel have to do with the two main historical figures in it, Darius the Mede, who was made king of Babylon, and Daniel, whom he appointed as principal governor there. The problem with Darius is that no ruler of Babylon is known from our historical sources by this name prior to the time of Darius I of Persia (522-486 B.c.). The problem with Daniel is that no governor of Babylon is known by that name, or by his Babylonian name, early in the Persian period. Daniel's position mentioned here, which has received little attention, will be discussed in a sub- sequent study. In the present article I shall treat the question of the identification of Darius the Mede, a matter which has received considerable attention, with a number of proposals having been advanced as to his identity. I shall endeavor to bring some clarity to the picture through a review of the cuneiform evidence and a comparison of that evidence with the biblical data. As a back- ground, it will be useful also to have a brief overview of the various theories that have already been advanced. 1. The Biblical Data Regarding Darius the Mede Before we consider the theories regarding the identification of Darius the Mede, however, note should be taken of the information about him that is available from the book of Daniel.

  • Gunnar Heinsohn (University of Bremen, May 2006)
    1 Cyaxares: Media’s Great King in Egypt, Assyria, and Iran by Gunnar Heinsohn (University of Bremen, May 2006) I Cyaxares in the sources, and their refutation THE CLAIMS OF CLASSICAL HISTORIOGRAPHY: "He [Phraortes] began to subdue all Asia, going from people to people, until, in his campaigning, he came against the Assyrians, and especially those of the Assyrians who held Nineveh. These Assyrians had formerly ruled all of Asia but were now quite isolated, all their allies having dropped away from them. But in themselves they were as strong as ever, and when Phraortes fought them, he himself was killed. / Cyaxares, the son of Phraortes, [...] drew together under his own rule all Asia beyond the Halys. Then, collecting all his subject peoples, he attacked Nineveh. [...] He had defeated the Assyrians in battle; but then, when he was beleaguering Nineveh, there came upon him a great host of Scythians, whose leader was their king, Madyes. / The Medes also took Nineveh [...] and they made the Assyrians their subject, except for the province of Babylon“. (Herodotus, The History, I: 102/103/106.) --------------------------------------------------------- ASSYRIOLOGY’S “REFUTATION” OF CLASSICAL HISTORIANS: "In Assyrian and Babylonian records and in the archaeological evidence no vestiges of an imperial structure [of the Medes; G.H.] can be found. The very existence of a Median empire, with the emphasis on empire, is thus questionable. / I would suggest [...] that the Medikos Logikos, as we have it, is essentially a Greek product“. (Sancisi-Weerdenburg 1988, 212 / Sancisi-Weerdenburg 1994, 55.) “Only 20 years ago, the existence of a Median ‘Empire’ that had immediately succeeded the fall of Assyria, and ruled, for half a century, large parts of the Near East until Cyrus — as a supposed vassal of Astyages, the last king of Media — had defeated his overlord and inherited his empire, was regarded as a safe historical fact.

  • 316 Chronology: Timeline of Biblical World History Biblestudying.Net
    Chronology 316: Timeline of Biblical World History biblestudying.net Brian K. McPherson and Scott McPherson Copyright 2012 Period Five: The Destruction of the Temple to the Decree of Daniel 9 (Part 2) Biblical Considerations which May Indicate that the Secular Chronologies Aren’t Fully Accurate Using the standard chronology of this period and identifying Artaxerxes’ decree to Ezra would have Daniel 9:25’s 69 weeks of years begin in the year 458-457 BC. The same historical chronology would place the destruction of the Temple by the Babylonians in the year 586 BC. This means that, according to conventional chronologies, there was a total of 128 years between the desolation of Jerusalem and the Temple (in 586 BC) and the decree given to Ezra to restore and rebuild Jerusalem and its walls (in 458-457 BC.) However, earlier in our study we also learned that there may be some reason to conclude that prophet Ezekiel was noting the occurrence of a Jubilee year 14 years after destruction of the Temple (Ezekiel 40:1 and Leviticus 25.) Likewise, we learned that Daniel 9:25 indicates that the 69 weeks of years before the coming of the Messiah began with a grouping of 7 weeks of years. As Tim Warner has noted, Daniel 9:25’s grouping of 7 weeks of years may, in fact, refer to the jubilee cycle described in Leviticus 25. Yet, there is also a deliberate distinction between the first 7 Sabbatical cycles (49 years) and the remaining 62 Sabbatical cycles (434 years). Why? Scholars have struggled to explain this division.

The Inscription was first copied and translated by the late Major-General Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, Bart, G.C.B., whose study of it enabled him to bring to a successful issue the decipherment of the Cuneiform Inscriptions. His edition of the Persian text, accompanied by a Commentary, appeared in the tenth volume of the Joitrnal of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1847, and his final edition of the texts of the Babylonian version was published by the Trustees of the British Museum in Cuneiform Inscriptions of Western Asia, Vol.

    Mediterranean Journal of Humanities mjh.akdeniz.edu.tr I/2, 2011, 195-211 Babil Kuneiform Tabletleri ile Antik Kaynaklar Işığında Media, Lydia ve Küçük Asya Fatihi Büyük Kyros Cyrus the Great - Conqueror of Media, Lydia and Asia Minor in the Light of the Babylonian Cuneiform Tablets and the Ancient Sources Sevgi SARIKAYA Özet: Bu makalede, Büyük Kyros’un İ.Ö. ca. 559 yılında tahta geçişiyle İ.Ö. 553-İ.Ö. ca. 547/546 yıllarına kadar giriştiği seferler ışığında Pers/Akhaimenid imparatorluğunun kuruluş süreci; siyasi-idari yapılanma- sıyla Kyros’un kişiliği ve politikası ele alınmaktadır. Çalışma esas itibariyle döneme ilişkin temel ve başlıca bilgiler veren Babil küneiform tabletleri ve antik kaynaklar çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Birinci elden dokümanlar, resmi ve güvenilir belgeler olan çivi yazılı tabletlerin azlığı ve özet halinde kaleme alınmasından ötürü, Kyros hakkında en ayrıntılı veriler antik kaynaklardır. Bu nedenle şu ana kadar mo- dern yazarlarca ihmal edilmiş, dağınık halde bulunan antik kaynaklar ve çivi yazılı tabletler derlenerek analiz edilmiş; metinin ilgili kısımlarında detaylıca tartışılmıştır. Bununla birlikte Pers yerel kaynakla- rınca adeta efsaneleştirilen krala ait anekdotların yer yer Hellen yazarları tarafından da kabul görülüp, takip edilmesi Kyros’a ilişkin bir dizi spekülasyona yol açmaktadır. Bu bağlamda küneiform tabletleriyle antik kaynakların kendi içlerinde uzlaştıkları ve ayrıştıkları yanlar belirlenerek efsane ile tarihsel gerçek- ler ayrıştırılmaya; bununla birlikte Pers kralının bir portresi çizilmeye

    CYRUS AND THE ACHAEMENIDS* By Matt Waters University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Understanding of early Achaemenid history has him through four generations: “Darius the king undergone significant changes in recent scholarship. proclaims: My father is Hystaspes, the father of Recent research has emphasised the familial distinction Hystaspes is Arsames, the father of Arsames was between Cyrus the Great and Darius I, and it has Ariaramnes, the father of Ariaramnes was Teispes, the become difficult to give credence to the traditional, father of Teispes was Achaemenes. Darius the king modern reconstruction of Darius’ kinship claims that proclaims: For this reason we are called implies a dual descent from Achaemenes via Teispes: ‘Achaemenids’.”2 This lineal descent, in subsequent one line to Cyrus and the other to Darius. With Cyrus’ inscriptions, became simply “Achaemenid” (i.e., minus inscriptions at Pasargadae demonstrated as spurious, the full genealogical progression), used as a dynastic and the “Achaemenid dynasty” demonstrated as marker. This Achaemenid emphasis is consistently Darius’ creation ex nihilo, the relationship between reflected in Darius’ titulary, for example, “I am Darius Darius and his predecessors requires a new assessment. the Great King, King of Kings, King of many countries, Darius has been viewed as an unabashed liar, son of Hystaspes, an Achaemenid” (DPe §1 — with despite the consistent antipathy toward the Lie (Old minor variations in several other inscriptions).3 Persian drauga) emphasised in his royal inscriptions.

In one sense, we know everything we need to know about Darius the Mede: the man who received the kingdom at the downfall of Babylonian was named Darius and was a Mede of about 62 years of age (Dan. 5:31‣). This is sufficient for the believer who rests upon what God has revealed—no more information is needed to make sense of what the Bible records and the place Darius occupies in the sequence of Gentile Kingdoms. 1 But, for those who are interested in the relationship between God’s revelation and what is known from extra- biblical sources concerning history, the question arises whether Darius the Mede is known to archaeology or by historical records outside the Bible? 4.3.2 - Darius: A Title Correlating Darius the Mede with rulers known to extra-biblical history has proven to be a complex task, made all-the-more challenging because the name “Darius” is applied within historic inscriptions to at least five Persian rulers.
