Скачать или смотреть The Persian Puzzle: Unraveling the Historical Mystery of Ancient Israel

Is the Persian period in Jewish history significantly shorter than traditionally believed? In this eye-opening video, we unravel the astonishing discrepancies between Jewish sources, like Seder Olam Rabbah, and conventional Greek and Roman historical timelines by historians such as Herodotus, Xenophon, and Josephus Flavius. Jewish tradition claims the Persian period lasted only around 34 years, while standard history argues for a span of over 200 years.

How can such a crucial era vanish without leaving a clear record? Why are archaeological findings from Israel strangely silent about these centuries? Join us as we delve deep into historical texts, archaeological evidence, and modern research—including groundbreaking theories proposed by Dr. Chaim Chefetz and critiques by historians like Yehezkel Kaufmann—to solve this historical mystery. We’ll examine how Greek historians like Ephorus and Strabo openly admit embellishing their accounts, and why Josephus accused Greek historians of contradictions and inaccuracies.

If you're fascinated by biblical history, archaeology, ancient Persia, Second Temple Judaism, historical mysteries, and debates around historical accuracy, this is a must-watch video.
