The 70 weeks began in 455 B.C.E. when King Artaxerxes of Persia ordered the rebuilding of the city of Jerusalem. The final “week” started with the appearance of Messiah, Jesus Christ, at his baptism and anointing in 29 C.E

The reasons for favoring the date of 455Â B.C.E. for this year as against the popular date of 445Â B.C.E. are considered in the article PERSIA, PERSIANS. The events of this year that involve the rebuilding of Jerusalem and its walls mark the starting point of the prophecy concerning the “seventy weeks” at Daniel 9:24-27. The weeks there are clearly “weeks of years” (Da 9:24, RS, AT, Mo), totaling 490 years. As demonstrated under the heading SEVENTY WEEKS, the prophecy pointed to Jesus’ appearance as the Messiah in the year 29Â C.E.; his death at “the half of the week” or in the middle of the last week of years, that is, in 33Â C.E.; and the end of the period of God’s special favor to the Jews in 36Â C.E. Thus, the 70 weeks of years closed with the conversion of Cornelius, 490 years from the year 455Â B.C.E.—Ac 10:30-33, 44-48; 11:1.

The prophetic time period referred to at Daniel 9:24-27 began in 455 B.C.E. and ended in 36 C.E.During this time, Jerusalem was rebuilt and the Messiah appeared and was then put to death. Following that period, the city as well as the holy place was desolated.
Everything Daniel foretold came true, giving futher evidence that all Scripture is inspired by God. ( 2 Timothy 3:16)

Many interpretations, that's the problem with prophesy. You can make passages and prophetic uttering fit almost any happening. That is why there are so many denominations in all religions. Its also the reason Nostradamus is so popular.
Here is a prophecy for you: "In the times just before the end of the earth, children will run wild, and orange will freeze and the earth will melt"
Sounds like a parallel to most of the available prophesies from most religions.
By the way the answer is 1844

You'll get two different interpretations. Liberal and conservative theologians have differing views as to when it was written. The former say 2nd century BC and the latter say 6th century BC.
