And so we are really shooting in this generation now of historians, shooting for the maximum transparency. That's new. That is new. maximum transparency, maximum methodological rigor. And I think we're already starting to see the first fruits of that really starting to lead us into a more stable vision of history.

Right.

Absolutely. You always need to be very careful about these sources to check whether they are actually original. You know, if they were found in an archaeological context, that's best because you can actually, with the stratigraphic dating, you can know which… which layer in the archaeological excavation it was found, so you can date it.

But a lot of these documents, unfortunately, don't have this data associated with them, so you have to date them in different ways. But of course, checking whether these are forgeries or not is really important. It's really tricky.

Just make money. And the thing is, a lot of forgers are people who went to academia and probably did not make it the way they wanted, but they are really good. I mean, they know how to make, they know. They've learned how to copy and mimic the hand of scribes.

but they also have a lot of money um they are sponsored by people who can sell this and they have more money than we have in academia for sure so they have more better resources in order to to make these forgeries uh so we need to be very very vigilant and and make sure that we're dealing with actual sourced material um and and but again a lot of these documents in the density scrolls are clearly ancient uh some of them are not but uh yeah we always need to be on guard uh for that

I mean, I think most historians say that there was a rabbi, a very influential rabbi at that time who was probably crucified. And there was a Jesus movement after that. Whether that person also resurrected from the dead, that's more of a faith thing than a historical thing. But yeah, that's really not my field. The languages, so we're talking about first century of the common era.
