At the time the Assyria Assyrian Empire was in disarray through civil war and the ascendancy of other kingdoms such as Urartu . An army commander involved in the civil war, who adopted the name Tiglath pileser III with his accession, won control of Assyria the following year 746 BC. Shortly thereafter he retook Babylon under the suzerainty of Assyria, and Nabonassar continued to rule as a vassal king for 14 years, until 734 BC . The first of a series of tablets collectively called the Babylonian Chronicle record events beginning in the reign of Nabonassar. The Greek astronomer Ptolemy Claudius Ptolemaeus started an era , i.e. a start point for chronology chronological calculations, in the first year of his reign, on New Year s Day in the Egyptian calendar Wednesday 26 February 747 BC in the proleptic Julian calendar . On this day the Nabonassar era AN Anno Nabonassari began. The starting was used by Ptolemy because it was the earliest reign that included an astronomical observation he used, ref James Evans 1998 History & Practice of Ancient Astronomy . p. 176. Oxford U. Press. ISBN 0 19 509539 1 ref and was used by later astronomers, but not by the Babylonians themselves.

- Classical authorities of Babylonia and Assyria
Portal Ancient Near East Before the decipherment of Cuneiform script cuneiform text, knowledge of the history of the ancient Mesopotamia Babylonia and Assyria 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. It is different with the 7th and 8th dynasties as given by Ptolemy in the Canon of Kings in his Almagest , which prove to have been recorded faithfully Nabonassar 747 BC 14 years Nadios Nabu nadin zeri Khinziros Nabu mukin zeri and Poros Tiglath Pileser III Pul Ilulaeos Shalmaneser V Ululayu Mardokempados Marduk apal iddina II 12 Arkeanos Sargon II Interregnum Hagisa 1 month Belibos 702 BC 3 years Bel ibni Assaranadios Ashur nadin shumi Regebelos Nergal ushezib ..year Mesesimordakos Mushezib Marduk , 4 years Interregnum Asaridinos ... more details

- Canon of Kings
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.
