Developments in literary methodologies and archaeology have led scholars to question the traditional conception of biblical chronology and historiography.

They claim that the Bible is a purely ideological construct and that the first known manuscripts date precisely from this era. However the material cultures and traditions underpinning the Hebrew Bible are often older than the Persian era.
