<p dir="ltr">You do realize that works both ways. No matter how much evidence I will show you, that supports an aggadic read of Seder Olam and a harmonious readibg of Jewish and Assyriologist sources, you've long sgo made up your mind that those sources are in conflict and Seder Olam must be ead as factual history. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Which is why when contributing to this thread, I merely explained that this is a reasonable alternative. </p>

No matter how much information there is in Jewish sources that join into a single coherent picture, you'll find one reason or other to reject them in favor of the Greek version.<br>

And what about Ezra's lineage? That's in Tanakh, and it doesn't<br>
work with the Greek based history.<br>
<br>
<br>
Why not? You will say that there are too few people. So let it hereby be known that several meforshim, including but not limited to IIRC the Gra, state in Divrei haYamim that in Tanakh lineages, it is considered OK to skip generations, hence two lineages of the same fellow don't always line up.<br>
