  • One of the most brutal and brilliant leaders of ancient times, the first century King left a disconcerting legacy. And, he died the most gruesome and mysterious death. He was famous for impressive public works and architecture; and, for the Biblical slaughter of the firstborn sons of Israel and extraordinary cruelty including murdering his own family.

    I was watching this and thinking, "This guy looks familiar." I looked him up and yeah, I've read some of his books, and he's a crackpot. His degree is in journalism and he's a publicist, not an archaeologist. He does his own digs without proper permissions from the Israeli government OR a real archaeologist as an overseer so all of his findings have to be thrown out. He tried to open his own museum for his findings in Talpiot but it closed due to lack of interest. He is the laughingstock of the Israeli archaeological community. Also: Herod ordering the death of male babies was not a real historical thing.

      @@hopelessromantic8682 Where did you get the information of the death of male babies being real? The Gospels are the only source material for it. If it had been a Roman policy, trust me, that would have made the news. And we have TONS of historical documents preserved from that time, both Jewish and Roman. The "death of male babies" trope is copied from the earlier Moses story, which we don't have any proof of either, but predates it in documents we still have by about 500 years.

    Hmmmm. Not loving this guy. I feel like he’s more interested in creating some type of media “persona” for himself than he is in teaching actual history. To me, the only smart person in this video is the guy who reminded him that a king from the first century AD shouldn’t be judged by the same standards as today. It was a ruthless time to be in power - anyplace! And didn’t the dictator Sulla, and Herod’s grandson, Agrippa the Great, die under similarly described circumstances?

  • @johnlord8337
    @johnlord8337 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Herod the Great died from swine Trichinosis worms that invaded his body, organs, and crotch. As such, the statement that Herod more loved his pigs (huois) than his sons (huois), and was a improperly cooked pig-eater. His cough, like some tape worms, round worms, pinworms, and colon meat worms are to cough up lung worm eggs and phlegm, that are then swallowed into the stomach, restarting the worm breeding cycle. Pinworms under the skin would lead to intense itching and scratching yourself to emotional and mental instability. And to other health and fitness, dental hygiene and septicemia, would be his bad breath, rotting teeth, dental cavities, potential broken teeth, open tooth nerve pains, septicemia of the jaw - leading to cancer of the jaw and upper dentalia, having great mental/emotional pain - even psychological instability. It is known that open nerve wounds, leak out extreme toxic material that can lead to organ failures and rotting death, cancerous and rotting tumor, heart disease, and colon cancerous tumors - having the veritable taste and smell of decay and death. Worms crawling out from his penis would be the smaller round worms, pin worms, Trichinosis worms - not flies laying eggs under his clothing and growing maggots.
    Herod's true ancestry is a massive genealogy of the ancient Alexandrian Greek (and Persian, Medo-Persian) royalty. Herod would be considered the Solomon of his day, and the super richest and most political man of the Mideast. Herod (with Egyptian Ptolemaic royal blood) was a distant relative to Egyptian Pharaoh-Queen Cleopatra. There is so much more to the whole biography of Herod that has never before been published.

    Your life matters, the message of the Bible is that Jesus Christ, the son of God was willingly punished for the evilness of humanity. He loved you so much that He was willing to die a horrible, brutal death. He was punished instead of us. But the only way to actually be forgiven and make His sacrifice effective in your life, is by believing in Him and trusting that His sacrifice was for you. Do so, and you will have eternal life.
    God loves you and so do I, God bless you.
