Creation to Abraham

130+105+90+70+65+162 +65+187+182+600 = 1656

_{(Gen. 5:3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 25, 28; 7:6)}

1656+2+35+30+34+30+32+30+29+70 = 1948

_{(Gen. 11:10, 12-13; 11:14-15, 16, 18-19, 20-21, 22-23, 24-26, 32; 25:7; Jasher 13:2)}

Abraham to Canaan

1948 + 75 = 2023

_{(Gen. 12:4)}

Haran to Exodus

2023 + 430 = 2453

_{(Ex. 12:40)}

Exodus to Temple

2453 + 480 = 2933

_{(1 Kings 6:1)}

Solomon's Rein to foundation

7 x 70 = 490

2930 + 490 = 3420

_{(Daniel 9:1-2, 24; 2 Chronicles 36:21-22)}

King Cyrus Decree to Alexander invading Asia

3349 + 70 = 3419

3419 + 245 = 3664

3419+30+9+36+26+36+18+62+23+3+2 = 3664

_{(Jeremiah 25:11-12; Ezra 1:1; 2 Chronicles 36:21-22)}

King	Span	GPC
1 Cyrus	30	3419
2 Cambyses II	9	3449
3 Bardiya	0	3458
4 Darius I	36	3458
5 Xerxes I	26	3494
6 Artaxerxes I	36	3520
7 Xerxes ii	0	3556
8 Sogdianus	0	3556
9 Darius II	18	3556
10 Artaxerxes II	62	3574
11 Artaxerxes III	23	3636
12 Artaxerxes IV	3	3659
13 Darius III	7	3662
Alexander Invades Asia	2nd year	3664

💡 Hippolytus (c. 240 AD) claimed that the Persian Empire lasted 245 years. However, adding up the durations of the reigns he lists yields 250 years (30 + 9 + 36 + 26 + 36 + 18 + 62 + 23 + 3 + 7 = 250). If we instead conclude the empire's span with the year Alexander the Great invaded Asia—adjusting the final reign from 7 years to 2—it aligns with Hippolytus's figure.

30+9+36+26+36+18+62+23+3+2 = 245

Alexander to Six-Day War

3664 + 2300 = 5964

_{(Daniel 8:13-14)}
