Ancient Judea
How accurate is Monty Python’s Life of Brian?
I know it’s a comedy show – but I read that they did a lot of research for the film, so what I want to know is: how accurate is their portrayal of ancient life in Roman Judea/the ancient land of Israel?
Like are there actually any historical accounts by Jewish or Roman historians of how day-to-day life in that place was like? Apart from the Bible.
“You don’t need to follow me – you don’t need to follow anybody. You’ve all got to work it out for yourselves.”
Never a truer word said in the history of cinema.
Upon a Hill in Ancient Judea — a poem by Daniel ben Avram
