You are right. This chronological reduction could "function" only if about 
350 years of the Assyrian chronology were also bended up to maintain all 
known synchronisms.
However you should notice that also the first airplane prototypes in the 
late 19-th century didn´t fly and their inventors died crushed. 
Retrospectvely they are right and they smile all dressed festively on the
