∙ 8y agoThe Book of Daniel is believed to have been written sometime between 167 and 164 BCE.
There is a great deal of evidence that supports this date, rather than the book having been written during the Babylonian Exile. The book contains serious historical errors around the time of the Babylonian Exile, but becomes more accurate as it talks about later centuries, up to the second century BCE.
The book of Daniel shows that writer knew of the desecration of Yahweh's altar by Antiochus IV in 168 BCE, but not of the restoration of worship by Judas Maccabeus three years later. Either the divine foresight that inspired Daniel loses focus between 168 and 165, or that is when the book was actually written.

The Book of Daniel contains prophecies, many of which were fulfilled a couple of hundred years later. The Aramaic portions of Daniel are exactly in keeping with the relevant dialect of the time when tradition says that he lived.See also:

Where was Daniel imprisoned in the bible?
There are more than one Daniel in the Bible, but the name 'Daniel' is almost always associated with the Book of Daniel, which describes Daniel as a young boy when taken into exile by the Babylonians. He would have been born shortly before 600 BCE. No other book in the Old Testament mentions this Daniel, although Ezekiel does mention a near-contemporary also called Daniel. However, Ezekiel's Daniel must have been a little earlier that the hero of the Book of Daniel.The Book of Daniel speaks of Daniel in the third person, thus the author was not Daniel himself. In fact, there is good reason to doubt whether Daniel was a real, historical person. The book appears to have been written approximately 147 BCE to describe events occurring hundreds of years earlier, and its hero might have been inspired by the Daniel in the Book of Ezekiel. Historical errors in the Book of Daniel make its evidence unreliable.

That this could not be the same Daniel as the Daniel of Eziekiel is demonstrated by the different time periods described. Ezekiel's Daniel was much too early for the Daniel described in the Book of Daniel. The Daniel in the Book of Daniel is said to have risen to become the second most important person in the Babylonian Empire. After the Persian defeat of the Babylonian Empire, he also became the second most important person in the Persian Empire. He is described as miraculously surviving exotic execution attempts. Tradition says that Daniel actually wrote the Book of Daniel, but evidence internal to the book demonstrates that that could not be the case.
