Episode notes
You’ve likely seen the headlines recently - a story centering around an academic paper studying a massive earthquake that struck the Dead Sea sometime between 26 and 36 AD. The headlines were typical clickbait, claiming "scientific proof" of the crucifixion. It turns out that earthquake was part of a much larger seismic event coupled with a total solar eclipse - and it wasn't marking a death - it marked an ARRIVAL.
