Solar eclipses of Ashur- Dan III and Shimbar-Shipak

 Here we make a few probability calculations based on the estimates in the previous chapter.

Solar eclipse 791 BCE.

We can observe an interesting observation. We compare different options and find that a CHA 25° would be best suited for this solar eclipse. Even CHA 28º could also work well for this.

If we use a CHA 50° change, the eclipse will decrease almost the same as it would without a change, as can be seen by comparing the image in the chapter “Strange distractions in eclipses” with the image in the next section. This is because, according to NASA's calculation, the moon's shadow passed a slant across the Mediterranean from southern Italy.
So if we use this 791 BC eclipse, then we would have to assume roughly that CHA 25° change.
If CHA 17° were used, it would also be quite opaque for this eclipse.

Solar eclipse 809 BCE. and 824 BCE.

Let's take a slightly different test for this. The eclipses are moved only CHA 17°, i.e. about 1 hour and 8 minutes east. When we apply such a small change , we can highlight the year 809 BCE. used by the NCUSES solar eclipse.

It was also very cover when using this change. This would seem to support this solar eclipse applied by the NCUSES from the very beginning.
Somewhat surprisingly, there is also a third option that can be applied, the total solar eclipse on April 2nd, 824 BCE. Using a slightly longer CHA 19º change, this was perfectly reflected in Babylon. More on this in the next chapter.

Solar eclipses 1063 BCE. and 1078 BCE.

This year 1063 BCE. the solar eclipse takes place in the early morning.
Some have suggested applying this solar eclipse to the 7th year of Shimbar-Shipak's reign.
In this option, you also have to apply another "black hole", which is related to the gap in the information related to history. Perhaps the biggest shortcoming of this is related to the fact that the Babylonian year at that time would have started on May 5th, i.e. April 25th, according to the Gregorian calendar. That would have been more than a month after the vernal equinox.
On May 20th 1078 BCE. there was a solar eclipse, which would have been the most occulting using CHA 15° change. This is clearly the best option. In relation to that, you have to use an even bigger "black hole", because the chronology of Babylonia and Assyria would have to be extended by 15 years. Accordingly, they would have to be brought into harmony with Egyptian chronology at an earlier time.

In this second edition of this treatise, this, in 1078 BCE., is a new feature to have been the primary application of the solar eclipse.

Results

 Here are now as many as three different possibilities for the so-called. “Scientific chronology”. But the exact magnitude of the change in the position of the earth is not known, it can be between 16-20°. Group them by the symbols A, B and C in the order of their change.
Let’s now summarize all three of these in the table on the next. 
This table specifies the solar eclipses to be used for each option.
A slightly peculiar result can be observed regarding the year 791 BCE. If we were to stick to the current general understanding of the reigns of the Assyrian kings (that is, the lengths of the reigns of the kings would not be changed very much), we would have to state that there probably was no solar eclipse during the reign of Shimbar-Shipak.
