Strabo was writing some two thousand years ago in the early days of the Roman Empire. In his Geography, he provides us with a fascinating verbal description of the ‘Inhabited World’, as envisaged at that time. Writing in Greek, covering a world dominated by Rome, Strabo is of interest to students of classical literature and to historians of Rome and its regions, in particular for his description of the geo-political landscape under the first two Roman emperors, Augustus and Tiberius. |

Why are there no references to Can it be there never was a
Jewish Kingdom,but rather that
they were an insignificant
tribe? Both historians wrote
extensively of Palestine,Syria
and Phoenicia,not there are no
references to jews. Doesn't
this suggest their
self-history is false?

They scarcely existed at the time,so there obviously was never any Kingdom of David,etc. Herodotus makes one brief reference to a small ethnic group he refers to as the Kolchis and which most historians agree probably refers to the hebrews. I'm interested to note that most of the jewish respondents actually agree that as a nation of sorts,the hebrews did not yet exist in the 5th century. This naturally begs the question: then how could they have had a huge and wealthy kingdom encompassing all of ancient Palestine? Obviously the biblical account is a mere fairy tale. And given that they have no "ancestral" claim to Palestine whatsoever. |
