Talk:Canon of Kings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Relationship to Common Era

The canon itself may be accurate, but what is the basis of mapping it to the Common Era? The canon ends in 160, Ptolemy died in 168. Anno Domini dating was first used in 525. There is a gap of almost 4 centuries. How do we know we have counted these years correctly? -- Petri Krohn 07:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
