A CLEAR DATING OF DARK AGES by Gerard Gertoux

The Battle of Gaugamela, which Darius III lost against Alexander the Great, dated in Athenian and Babylonian calendars, illustrates the inaccuracy of the Greek calendar. According to an astronomical diary, this famous battle is dated 24/VI in the 5th year of Darius (1 October 331 BCE)80 just after the lunar eclipse of 13/VI. According to Plutarch: on the 6th day of the month of Boedromion the Greeks defeated the Persians at Marathon, on the 3rd day at Plataea and Mycale together, and on the 26th day at Arbela [Gaugamela]. Moreover, it was about full moon of the same month that the Athenians won their sea-fight off Naxos (Life of Camillus 19:3). He states: It so happened that in the month Boedromion the moon suffered an eclipse, about the beginning of the Mysteries at Athens, and on the 11th night after the eclipse (Life of Alexander 31:8). These details show that the Babylonian calendar was keyed on the first visible crescent (in 331 BCE), while the Athenian calendar, which was keyed on the new moon was in advance of two days compared to the Babylonian calendar.
