The problem with this is that Daniel's prophecy begins with the
initial commandment to build Jerusalem and the temple, not the date of
actual commencement of the building. This was given by Cyrus in 538
BC.

Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of
the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the
Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street
shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

There were several decrees concerning the rebuilding of Jerusalem and
the temple after the one that Cyrus issued. Making one of the
subordinate decrees the start point of the 70 weeks seem to be an
error. The original decree of Cyrus, that had been foretold by Isaiah,
is described in Ezra 1.

1 ¶ Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of
the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred
up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation
throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven hath given
me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he hath charged me to build him
an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and
let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of
the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.

Another problem with selecting one of the subsequent decrees is that
it is ad hoc. Also the date one obtains for the beginning of Christ's
ministry is inaccurate. If the first 7 weeks of Daniel's 70 weeks are
taken to be leap years, counting from the decree of Cyrus fits the
history; there are 49 leap years in 133 years, and adding the 434
years for the 62 weeks gives 567 years for the first 69 weeks, so the
69 weeks end in 28 AD.
