"Josephus mentioned these in his writings."

 

Could you be more specific please?

 

I'd like to  read more, but the cock will crow again before I have the time to research the veracity of that remark.

 

Here below is one site that I'd consider perusing for info.

 

No disrespect intended, I just want to learn more. Thank You!

To the degree we have original Latin documents, Josephus should be, in his entirity, ON THE NET.

If your' Latin is up to date you should find the references in short order.

I remembered reading the history written by Josephus about the tribulations of the Jews while in church...we studied how Revelations integrated into the writings of Josephus. If my memory serves me correctly, and sometimes it doesn’t, he mentioned the escapes of the Jews and the tunnels and the hiding of the wealth...I cannot give you specific references and its been 30 years since I studied this in any depth.

” OK, so where’s the Ark? “

It’s probably in my basement. Everything else seems to be.

Wow, anyone read Joel Rosenberg's latest book???

I just finished reading ALL of his fictions and non fiction books. I signed up for his email list.

Joel also said that when he feels the End of Days is coming, he is moving himself and his family to Israel because that country will be the ONLY safe area in the entire world...

[mware]

It is almost spooky the way his works are mirroring what has happened after he wrote about it.

It is somewhat similar to The Left Behind series.

Is that a series of biographies about Gore, Clinton and Kerry?

with apologies to the Monty Python bunch in Life of Brian:

Reg: What have the Romans ever given us?

All: City planning.

Reg: Ok, city planning but what sort?

All: Running water in Aqueducts. Yeak, and proper sewers. Without running water we’d be up to our arses in sewage.

[rmlew]

Jerusalem was a city well before the Romans invaded.
The Romans and their quisling local rulers built cities, but these were primarily for non-Jewish colonizers, but built by Jews and on Jewish taxation.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Reg: What have the Romans ever done for us? They’ve bled us white, the b******s. They’ve taken everything we had, not just from us, from our fathers and from our fathers’ fathers.

Stan: And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers.

Reg: Yes.

Stan: And from our fathers’ fathers’ fathers’ fathers.

Reg: All right, Stan. Don’t labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return?

Xerxes: The aqueduct?

Reg: What?

Xerxes: The aqueduct.

Reg: Oh yeah, yeah they gave us that. Yeah. That’s true.

Masked Commando: And the sanitation!

Stan: Oh yes ... sanitation, Reg, you remember what the city used to be like.

Reg: All right, I’ll grant you that the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done ...

Matthias: And the roads ...

Reg: Well yes obviously the roads ... the roads go without saying. But apart from the aqueduct, the sanitation and the roads ...

Another Masked Commando: Irrigation ...

Other Masked Voices: Medicine ... Education ... Health

Reg: Yes ... all right, fair enough ...

Commando Nearer The Front: And the wine ...

General Audience: Oh yes! True!

Francis: Yeah. That’s something we’d really miss if the Romans left, Reg.

Masked Commando At Back: Public baths!

Stan: And it’s safe to walk in the streets at night now.

Francis: Yes, they certainly know how to keep order ... let’s face it, they’re the only ones who could in a place like this.

Reg: All right ... all right ... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order ... what have the Romans done for us?

Xerxes: Brought peace?

Reg: What!? Oh shut up!

[LachlanMinnesota]

Are there any photos of the tunnel and ist location relative to above-ground structures?

[MeanWestTexan]

Turned into golden trinkets by Babylonian kings . . . remelted numerous times . . . probably in people’s teeth now.

Not the answer people want, but most likely answer.

Still holding out for the masons to have it.

Funniest movie I ever saw. Where did you find the complete dialogue?

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Memory...

Nah, just Googled “What have the romans done for us” and found a transcript
