Years: 561BCE - 550BCE
Babylon’s king Nabonidus, more interested in antiquarian pursuits than in affairs of state and unpopular with the priests of Marduk, officially elevates his son Belshazzar, the crown prince, to coregent in 550 BCE, according to Babylonian sources. (Biblical sources, however, name Belshazzar as the son of Nebuchadnezzar, who was conquered by Darius the Mede).
A priestly source (P), some parts of which are very old, is added to the final edition of the Torah about 550, during the Jews’ Babylonian Captivity.
The “Book of Joshua” and the “Books of Kings “are updated and reedited around this time.
