She looks and sounds so young, this is so weird and sad.
🎉😢😮😅
I'm sorry but as sources go 60 years is pretty reliable. The gospels were written 30 to 90 years after they happened.
Other historical events werr documented hundreds of years after they happened!
My favorite drink
A frothing mug of coins
The more I learn about Persia, the more I feel like Leonidas deserved to die
I'm pretty sure Crassus actually died that way, fitting, he was a massive tycoon
If there's a Roman Style Road somewhere in Iran then it could indicate to this.
The author in question like got the story from the Torah. When Moses came down from Mount Sainai and saw the Jewish people worshiping a golden calf in his long absence (likely because they had taken to worshiping the Egyptian goddess Hathor), he had the idol melted down and had everyone drink the molten gold as penance. When the story was rewritten by more self-serving Christian church officials and compiled into the modern-day Bible, it was changed to say the Earth swallowed everyone up right then and there to paint God as a more vengeful deity that the people needed protection from, which the church officials could provide (for a fee).
That seem pretty tasty I want some.
