A Keresztrefeszítés évében volt Nap- és Holdfogyatkozás is;
The year of CE 228 (Traditional AD 29/ AD 32 or AD33)
“And Phlegon also who compiled the Olympiads writers about the same things in his 13th book in the following words: ‘In the fourth year of the 202nd Olympiad (AD 32-33), an eclipse of the Sun took place greater than any previously known, and night came on at the sixth hour of the day, so that stars actually appeared in the sky; and a great earthquake took place in Bithynia and overthrew the greater part of Nicaea.
From: Phlegon, Olympiades, fragment 17 (Ginzel 35)
Quoted in Historical Eclipses and Earth’s Rotation, by F Richard Stephenson, Cambridge University Press, 1997, page 359-360
This solar eclipse really happened on March 23 in CE 228, not in CE 29 November 24. The calculation of the Saros Series 62 is not accurate because of Ptolemy’s wrong phases of the Moon. (JD ~ 1804417)
“CRUCIFIXION” LUNAR ECLIPSE IN JERUSALEM”
In my opinion the three hours of darkness mentioned by Luke the evangelist is related to the lunar eclipse, which must be looked for somewhere at AD 29 + 198 years on one day earlier than the day preceding the Jewish Passover.
My suggestion is the total lunar eclipse [Luna XIV] of 7th of April in CE 228. The calculation of the Saros Series 74 is not accurate because of Ptolemy’s wrong phases of the Moon.
