See Chaim Milikovsky's edition of Seder Olam for a very detailed
explanation of all these issues in chazal's chronology and a critical
edition of the readings of all extant manuscripts. The issues of chazal's
chronologies were first highlighted at length by Azariah de Rossi's Meor
Eynayim and should be settled by Milikowski's volume which took about
35 years to research. Chazal were great men but not modern historians,
doctors, scientists, or nevi'im -- and certainly not liars.
