Quote:I actually don't take for certainty the use of 480 years since it is a multiple of 40, which was their definition of a generation.
Well....fine. You have one story and every translator of this story comes up with 480 years. There is no other story for you to point to as the source of your discomfort. The NT stories all agree that your boy was crucified. If you now come along and say "I don't think he was crucified...I think he was run over by a chariot" there is nothing in the literature to point to which sustains that idea, either.
Remember, I don't think either event is historical for a variety of reasons. But this is what your books say.
