Alexander III 'The Great' (1 ene 336 año aC – 10 jun 323 año aC)

Descripción:

The dating of Alexander the Great's death will illustrate the great difficulty in properly synchronize multiple calendars in a given place. This famous conqueror died in Babylon and luckily several official reports have been written dating that memorable day70...

It is clear that this multiplicity of dates raises problems. The most reliable document is the Babylonian tablet dating the event of 29 Ayyaru (from 6:00 p.m. June 10 to 6:00 p.m. June 11). In fact, the date of Alexander's death was immediately known in Babylon as he died in that city. In addition, the astronomical tablets referenced BM 34075 and BM 45962... ...confirms this extraordinary sequence of 4 consecutive months of 30 days71. As Aristobulus (Alexander's Secretary) also specifies that the death took place on the evening of June 10 after 18:00 (which is suitable), it matches the 29 Daisios.
