MDG- you are working backwards. If there is indeed a discrepancy of 165 years, then all of the dates you mention are pushed back 165 years. the problem is not the dates that you mention, but the archeological and historical evidence that the churban bais rishon was much earlier than the dates you mention. You have the luxury to dismiss the historians’ claim but many people feel uncomfortable being blind to solid evidence. BTW- it is not exactly one of the “ani maamin’s to accept blindly the calculations and dates that you mention.
