Noah's Ark. Fact or Fiction?

No Historian has ever mentioned anybody by the name jesus, only 2 historian Ever have mentioned "Christeus" or "Cristos" which is Christ, which is a title not a name!

Christ means "the annointed one"...

Well I thought we were talking about the 3 hours of missing sun light? And the fact that historians of the day spoke of that event. And the fact that it happend at the same time that jesus died on the cross according to the Scriptures.

you said and i quote "Thaccus circa spoke of Christ death and the day of his death..."

and i was simply refuting your statemnet!

I see, well Thallus wrote about the crucifixion of Jesus. His writing date to circa 52 A.D. and the passage on Jesus was contained in Thallus work on the Eastern Medierranean world from the Trojan War to 52 A.D. Thallus noted that darkness fell on the land at the time of the crucifixion. He wrote that such a phenomenon was caused by an eclipse.
Another early writer by the name Julius Africanus who researched the topic of this darkness and wrote the following: "Upon the whole world there came a most fearful darkness. Many rocks were split in two by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. It seems very unreasonable to me that Thallus, in the third book of his histories, would try to explain away this darkness as an eclipse of the sun. For the Jews celebrate their Passover on the 14th day according to the moon, and the death of our Saviour falls on the day before the Passover. But an eclipse of the sun can only take place when the moon comes under the sun, how then could an eclipse have occurred when the moon is directly opposite the sun?"
Another first century historian who also mentions this darkness was Phlegon, who wrote a history entitled the "Olympiads." Phlegon records that, in the time of Tiberius Caesar at full moon, there was a full eclipse of the sun from the sixth hour to the ninth.
I might also mention that Tiberius Caesar was in power when Jesus was crucified. These historical occurences were recorded in public records, and were non Biblical records that agree with the Scriptural accounts. Also it was Phlegon who said the eclipse lasted 3 hours, which also agrees with the Biblical account. Julius Africanus also speaks of the earthquake that happened at the time of the crucifiction.

Just to clarify, is the darkness refered to byt the historians of the day as an actual eclipse or is it just that it was dark for three hours?

Thallus states it was an eclipse at the time of the crucifiction.

Julius Africanus another historian questions how it could of been an eclipse because the crucifiction took place the day before the Passover.
And the Jews celebrate their Passover on the 14th day according to the moon. Which would mean an eclipse would of been impossible.

Phlegon says in his book that the darkening of the sun took place at the time of Tiberius Caesar in who's reign Jesus was crucified. And he to states that the eclipse took place during a full moon and the duration of darkness was 3 hours long.

Well there is (Historical evidence) which is extra Biblical evidence that tells us that at the time of Christ death, the earth became dark, and there is no explanation for this darkness at the given time of His death.

During this event there were earthquakes, correct? Anything else happen during this event that could help shed light on things?

Has no one ever witnessed a solar eclipse before?

One source came from Tacitus who was a Roman government official and historian with acess to the government archives of Rome, confirmed many of the historical details in the Gospels, as well as the books of Acts and Romans. He confirmed that (JESUS) was executed as a criminal under the authority of Pontius Pilate (who ruled Judea under the reign of Emperor Tiberius). He also declared that the Christians, who began in Judea and were now spreading throughout the empire, derived their worship and religion from the person known as (CHRIST). He verified the explosive growth of this new religion within 32 years of (JESUS) crucifixion despite the fact that its founder suffered the death penalty as a criminal.

This is a very good source because Tacitus hated Christians because they refused to worship the pagan gods, and Emperor Nero himself.

Why do you write jesus as (JESUS)? I know why! you are indicate that you know who he is speaking of while he never actually says the name. Tacitcus never once mentioned anyone by the name of jesus or yeshua or any equilvenlent for that matter....

"Tacitus does not speak of Jesus but, rather, of a christ (originally the religious title "Messiah,"

To you yes, but was he to Tacitus? As the Christian faith expanded everyone heard about the Christians. Learning,Speech,&Attention Defects | Man with learning disabilities, communication disorders, ADHD, becomes author
