The Book of Daniel opens by telling us that Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, conquered Jerusalem in the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim, or 587 BCE, and ordered his eunuchs to take Jewish children who were without blemish, skilful in wisdom and knowledgeable, to be taught the Chaldean language. At this time, the book indicates that Daniel was about twelve years old. He lived on as a high official after the Persian conquest of Babylon, which occurred in 539 BCE.
Nehemiah became governor of Judah in 445 BCE, some 94 years after the Persian conquest of Babylon. He therefore would have lived long after Daniel. However the history is a little more surprising than that the two people lived at different times. Most biblical scholars now recognise that the Book of Daniel was a Jewish novel compiled shortly after 167 BCE. There was a historical Nehemiah, but there was no historical Daniel.
