Not so. The Israelites used the calendar of wherever they were at the time. They used the Egyptian calendar, then the Canaanite calendar, then the Babylonian calendar, all lunar. This goes back almost 4,000 years. See the various works by Gérard Gertoux on chronology of ancient people. Info about him is here: https://univ-lyon2.academia.edu/GerardGERTOUX/CurriculumVitae and the same site has some of his works available for download.
BTW, I've been studying chronology and calendars for 50 years. How about you?
You are talking about Israel using the calendar of their captors. We are doing the same right now in a way. Some of that is because of what we have been incorrectly taught. When Israel was free and on their own, they used God's calendar. After Babylon they brought the Babylonian calendar back with them. They were still under the rule of Babylon. The world is upside down, not the Kingdom of God.
The modern day Jews are not, and have never been, God's Israel people as proven by the bible, history and Jewish writings.
You are mixing unlike things. The real Jews are descendants of Israelites, but not all of the descendants. Based on many things, including DNA, the Israelites spread through parts of Europe. For example, my male line goes back to Germany in the 1500s, but my Y-DNA goes back to central Asia and is semitic.
What is this "God's calendar"? The religious calendar was lunar, and the civil calendar was solar. There's not much evidence of anything before the flood other than the first few chapters of Genesis. And it wasn't that long after the flood, historically speaking, when Abraham and his people went to Egypt. There was back and forth with Egypt until the exodus.
Have you read this? From a NYT best seller: "In Part Two, Chapters V-VII, I have compiled the historical evidence which indicates that the bulk of Eastern Jewry - and hence of world Jewry - is of Khazar-Turkish, rather than Semitic, origin." , from the chapter Race and Myth, page 199, "The Thirteenth Tribe", by Jewish author Arthur Koestler, 1976. That is the 90%
Esau is Edom, Genesis 36. "Edom is in modern Jewry", The Jewish Encyclopedia. 9% are of Edomite, Canaanite descent.
I haven't read that in particular, but I do know that most "Jews" in Israel, based on random DNA testing, are not Semitic. They are mostly German.
I have German ancestry, but my Y-DNA goes back eventually to central Asia and is Semitic.
I think Turkistan is meant rather than Turkey, as the Khazars were supposed to come from Kazakhstan in central Asia.
