Isn’t there something wrong with the arithmetic (and the grammar) here; “The artifact itself could be as many as 1,500 to 2,000 years old according to experts at the Sulaymaniyah Museum, which would place it in the old-Babylonian period of 2003 to 1595 BCE. However, both George and Al-Rawi feel that the inscription dates from the much more recent neo-Babylonian period of 626 to 539 BCE.”
