Answer 3

75 is wrong, see attached doc:
In 605 BCE, as a teenager, Daniel was captured by the Babylonian army, during its first attack on Jerusalem. He had been a member of the royal house or of the nobility. Daniel survived a castration operation and spent the rest of his long life in the city of Babylon, in the service of the royal court. He went by two names: Daniel and Belteschazzar.

That city was generally regarded as the most beautiful in the known world. Ancient authorities, not known for accuracy, claimed that its walls were 60 miles long, 300 feet high and 80 feet thick. The Euphrates river divided the city in to two roughly equal parts.

Isaiah 13:17-22 described it as "Babylon, fairest of kingdoms, proud beauty of the Chaldeans" It contained one of the seven wonders of the world: the hanging gardens of Babylon, which Nebuchadnezzar build for his Queen. Both a passage in Isaiah and Jeremiah 51:37-43 prophesized that Babylon would be destroyed and never occupied again. The prophecy was partly correct: the city was destroyed. But part of it has been inhabited in recent years. It is now being rebuilt by the Government of Iraq.

Daniel is described as living in Babylon for the entire duration of the Babylonian empire, a period of 72 years. He arrived during the last year in the reign of Nabopolassar, stayed through the entire 45 year reign of Nebuchadnezzar, assisted 5 succeeding kings, survived through the occupation by the Medes and into the occupation of the Persians. He was present as Israel was taken into captivity; he died two years after a fragment of the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem.

After all that, mid 80's sound right.

about 14

Answer 6

i think of what you're dealing with is totally general. Older women individuals opt to be around youthful adult adult males because of the fact they are extra care loose i think of. purely as older adult adult males opt to be with youthful girls individuals because of the fact those are not those desiring households perfect away oftentimes. actually everyone needs a boyfriend/lady pal that they might have relaxing with. as nicely because of the fact the extra youthful substantial different makes you experience youthful. I actual have heard many cases as nicely that adult adult males attain sexual height of their previous due young human beings mutually as women individuals do no longer attain it till they are of their mid Thirties. This additionally makes for extra beneficial distances in age in many relationships. All i will assert from very own adventure particularly is that the older you get, the less age concerns. once you're on your 20's, 5 years is a super distinction the place as once you're on your 50's, 10 years isn't various of a distinction anymore. And in case you're in Hollywood, there are not any regulations lol. -woman 32

Answer 7

No one "knows" how old Daniel was, as we do not know when he was born.

However, having said that, he was probably in his middle to late eightys, because he had already been in Babylon for about 70 years.
