I really don't know how people can accurately pinpoint such a date.
Whenever I see things like this, the people doing the calculations rarely take into account that the calendar system we use today, the Gregorian, has only been in use since the 1500s. And different countries have used various versions of their own calendars all these years as well. It's all really a big mess. So it is nice to see that the people mentioned here are aware of the different calendars, since they bring up the Julian calendar and the issues surrounding the different number of days in the year.
I'll give the links a look when I get a chance, but this really strikes me as people starting with a date they want it to be (9/11) and working backward from there. I think that just leaves a lot of room for people to fudge a little info or favor one result over another that allows the dates to match up.
But what do I know, really? Not much.
