@@rustyshackelford3590 A Syrian gnostic named Bardaisan met Buddhist envoys near Emesa on their journey to meet the Roman Emperor. Bardaisan questioned the envoys and used their statements to compose an account of Indian religions that only survives in fragments quoted by later scholars. The Emperor at the time was Elagabalus… The ancient references are: Porphyry, Abstaining from Killing Animals, 4.17; Stobaeus, Eclogues, 3.56.141 ('Antoninus from Emesa' = Elagabalus).

Mark Hackett Matthew was a tax collector so he was probably efficient in dealing with business, numbers, and calculations and was most definitely literate. Matthew 9:9 Luke was also a very learned man being a physician. Colossians 4:14 Paul had a traditional Jewish education, being taught by one of the more famous teachers of his time. "I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel (a well known and prominent teacher at the time), taught according to the strictness of our fathers' law, and was zealous toward God as you all are today" (Acts 22:3). Bartholomew was most likely from a distinguished or wealthy family as indicated by his name which derives from the Aramaic name meaning "son of Talmai".Talmai either comes from telem "furrow" or is a Hebrew version of Ptolemy. Thus Bartholomew is either "son of furrows" (i.e., rich in land) or "son of Ptolemy". So being of a distinguished background typically one is educated highly due to there resources and expectations. Philip, James, John were fishermen but were also businessmen they employed others to work as fishermen for them. So they were probably educated in business and finance. The apostles would all have been well educated in the Old Testament, Hebrew Scriptures, and theology & some philosophy because at the time Judea had been hellenized by Greek influences for a few hundred years. They all would have been multi-linguistic knowing at least Hebrew and Aramaic, and possibly Greek and Latin. All all probably would have been able to read and write in multiple languages. Do these sound like the qualities of uneducated and crass men. And in terms of relevance, the message they were spreading was an answer they had to many philosophical questions about life. This assertion you have put on these men was of obvious bias and anti Christian rhetoric. You have not done any research or even had put a single thought into your comment. I suggest you educate yourself.

To The History of the Roman Empire and the Sinhalese Kings🌤 Dear Sir Thank you for the info. The questions are in the trade networks which reached Sri Lanka in the BC times. The goods at trade in these times seem to be different and the transactions are in silver and gold but also in kind in the instances. The goods have moved to the study in religion and Buddhism reached Europe in the late BC cultures. There is also a question on Hinduism reaching Europe from India or Sri Lanka.. The transactions in SriLanka have transmitted to other nations of Europe since the times of the Roman Empire and the terms of trade including the goods held for the transactions have transited. Wish you all the best in your endeavours for the future.. Greetings from the Pacific Kalaranji Maheswaran ✍🌷💧🌏🐅
Yes. Claudius probably presented himself as a ‘Master of the Ocean’. He even slaughtered a stray Orca (Killer Whale) that swam into the busy commercial harbour at Rome (Pliny, Natural History, 9.5). www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.02.0137%3Abook%3D9%3Achapter%3D5
Dr.Raoul, I was always wondering about the fact, that Sri lanka was highly influenced my Indians in many ways , but why we couldn't locate advance hydrological engineering based civilization in south India?. Many great civilisations have emerged with the blessing of nature but it is very rare to observe engineered environments that turned hostile environments to flourishing cities. Was there any influences from Harrapan civilization?, the closest imaginable hydraulic civilization?
Roman was Sri Lankan's biggest enemy in the past. At that time, Sri Lanka captured South India, Myanmar and Maldives. Because Sri Lanka had the best Navy and technological weapons in Asia, Sri Lanka helped Egypt against the Romans. So Sri Lanka is not an isolated county like Italy. Even Alexander also defeated by Great Ashok because Sri Lanka helped Great Ashok with Sri Lankan worries and weapons. Please don't hide information from Asian power. Instead, show Romans better than Asia-you cheeky Roman snake.
sinhala embasadors came to claudias perioda or anthoniyas piyas perioda? plini is mention incorrect time period. sinhala king bathikabaya and anthoniyas piyas time pereiod is same... diplomatic relation ship is build bathikabaya and anthonoyas piyas period
No. If the time period discussed is 48-52 AD, then the king in Anuradhapura would be either King Chandramukaseewa or King Yasalalakathissa, according to the Mahawanshaya. However, it’s King Bhathika Abhaya who’s most connected with Rome in these writings. If we’re looking at a king immediately prior to that, we could be looking at King KutakannaThissa or King Kuda Thissa.

You deserve more views
Great documentary. A small point though, the Sinhalese kingdom was called Anuradhapura, not Andrapura.
Nice one!!!!👍👍 as a Sri Lankan looking forward to the part 3. ✌
Great job! It was absolutely fascinating!
Excellant. Research, writing, narration, visual presentation- excellant. Two thumbs up ! ; or 5 put of 5.
they got lucky arriving when a cultured man with an interest in foreign languages was emperor and not Caligula or Nero
Caligula would have insisted on showing them one of his massive palaces that he spent his fortune on and invite them to an orgy. Nero would have insisted they listen to him play an instrument and make them applaud or be killed.
It must have been terrifying meeting Gaius (Caligula) - www.earlychristianwritings.com/yonge/book40.html

Dear Sir
Thank you for the info. The questions are in the trade networks which reached Sri Lanka in the BC times. The goods at trade in these times seem to be different and the transactions are in silver and gold but also in kind in the instances. The goods have moved to the study in religion and Buddhism reached Europe in the late
BC cultures. There is also a question on Hinduism reaching Europe from India or Sri Lanka..
The transactions in SriLanka have transmitted to other nations of Europe since the times of the Roman Empire and the terms of trade including the
goods held for the transactions have transited.
Wish you all the best in your endeavours for the future..

this proggrame is very good .i like your proggrame..
It’s crazy to think that the Romans arrived in the sub-continent around the same time as they arrived in Britain.
Yes. Claudius probably presented himself as a ‘Master of the Ocean’. He even slaughtered a stray Orca (Killer Whale) that swam into the busy commercial harbour at Rome (Pliny, Natural History, 9.5). www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.02.0137%3Abook%3D9%3Achapter%3D5

Here’s a good video on Sri Lankan Hydraulics, it was the most advanced of the First Civilizations to spawn: th-cam.com/video/SPOjVLy6KH8/w-d-xo.html
80 48? What does that mean? Would be cool if someone could explain the dates he is mentioning. Thanks in advance!
AD, not 80
Right, or A.D. 48
I can't be the only non native English speaker XD should refine my listening
@@victorherrerawitzel4446 it’s the N’iron accent.
The Roman jewels must still be somewhere in the private collection of an oligarchic family. They won't ever disclose it.
