jun 15, 763 BC - Limmu List Eclipse

Description:

According to one limmu list (Assyrian Eponym list #5 -- K51 in the British Museum), a solar eclipse occurred in the tenth reigning year of the Assyrian king Aššur-dan II, in the month of Sivan (May–June on the Gregorian calendar), by Bur-Sagale. Using the Canon of Kings, the tenth year can be dated to 763 BC, and modern astronomy dating has backed the Assyrian eclipse up as June 15, 763 BC.
