Where is the city of Susa mentioned in the Bible?

Ezra 4:9 mentions : 'inhabitants of Susa, that is, the Elamites'.The Elamites were the descendants of Elam (Noah's grandson) (Genesis 10:22) and Susa, believed by many to be "Shusan" (Daniel 8:2), was the capitol of ancient Elam. It was conquered by King Ashurbanipal of Assyria in the seventh century BCE, and again by Alexander the Great in the fourth century BCE. It was the site where the account of Esther took place (Esther 1:2,5,6; 2:3,5,8; 3:15; 8:14; 9:12-15) and where Nehemiah served as 'cup bearer' for King Artaxerxes (Nehemiah 1:1; 2:1)


When and where did the prophet Daniel die?

There is no reference to the death of Daniel in the Book of Daniel, believed by some to have been from the second century BCE, written in the first person and therefore only covering events said to have occurred during his lifetime.There are prior references to a Daniel in the Book of Ezekiel, where he was already compared to Noah and Job, but some scholars say that he would have been a much earlier Daniel, and in any case Ezekiel did not describe this Daniel's death. Although the Book of Daniel says that Daniel was second only to the king in both the Babylonian and the Persian empires, none of the records of either kingdom ever mentioned him, so we can not deduce from secular history when he died or even how late he was still alive, if indeed Daniel was a real, historical person.

How did historians succeed in scrutinizing the Old Testament to discover its nature and origins?

Not very well I'm afraid. Although over 2500 people, places and events have been confirmed or indicated Archaeologically the oldest extant fragment of wring dates to around 1,000 BC and the earliest Torah passage (formerly assumed by the Critical School to be of the alleged D or P docs from Ezra though alleged to be from Moses) actually turns out to be from about 785 BC (centuries before Ezra but 700 years after Moses). Many however belief the sadly limited and highly theorized Documentary Theory that actually has no evidence other than conjecture. EXAMPLE: say a couple hundred years from now someone finds a document that in different places uses "the President", and in others "Barak" or "Obama" and then "President Barak Obama"....the documentary "hypothesis" would say this is three schools of latter redactors. The President school, the Barak or Obama school, and an even later school which harmonized the separate writings by using phrases like "President Barak Obama"....their logic is irrational and absurd! The Old Testament is one of the most historically validated set of books from antiquity (with the exception of events as described in Genesis 1-11)


Who were the authors of Genesis?

By tradition it was Moses, But the most likely truth was that it was reimagined and rewritten about 600 BC in Babylon sometime after the destruction of the temples. The most important clue is that much Babylonian myth was included in the rewrite. Thus the likely authors are the children of the Jews taken to Babylon as slaves.
