Hi Al,
Here is a great article discussing the "70 weeks" prophecy since you're undecided. It is by Phillip Mauro and his webpage has a lot of grea stuff. But he agrees with Anstey's chronology that Cyrus must fulfill the seventy weeks.
After we've established that then we know that Cyrus' 1st year must have occurred in 455BCE per the Bible.
Below is his link on general discussion of the "70 weeks" which is the background you need.
That should do it. Let me know if you need any other references.
Cheers,
