Dating the End of Daniel's 69 Weeks

After the sixty-two 'sevens,' the Anointed One will be put to death and will have nothing. The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood: War will continue until the end, and desolations have been decreed. (Daniel 9:26 NIV)

Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. (Zechariah 9:9 NIV)

According to this article on the web, "What is the correct calculation of Daniel's 69 Weeks? | NeverThirsty", the start of Daniel's prophecy was on 1 Nisan 444 BC and the end date of the prophecy is 6 Nisan AD 33, which occurred before Christ’s death on 14 Nisan 33 A.D. That is also the day when our Lord Jesus proclaimed Himself as the Anointed One (Messiah, Christ) publicly.
