Carthage - The Roman Holocaust

I'm not very comfortable using the holocaust word in a post title, as it props up a terrible lie with a grain of truth in it.

However, that's the name of this BBC documentary on Carthage which like Germany was destroyed and subject to barbaric mythologising through, in this case, Roman propaganda merchants like Virgil.

I've already stated that the numbers for Jews killed in prison camps is grossly exaggerated but there's the gas chamber mythology that needs to be nailed and snuffed out, despite the shrill calumny it will earn me.

I have to do it however or I wont be able to live with myself.

Great atrocities are committed by all sides during war but make no mistake the winners are by no means the greatest people to write history.

If anything the reverse is true.

Jewish & Roman History | Titus Flavius Josephus AKA Joseph ben Matityahu

The lecturer Henry Abramson is too conflicted in this presentation to offer much value on the subject of Josephus ben Matityahu  but it's not a bad introduction for those studying Roman and Jewish history.

This yarmulke wearing historian is unable to say a single word critical of Judaism which is perplexing because he can't call out Josephus as an obvious Jewish traitor and Roman disinformation agent.

In addition Abramson suggests ideas like the Roman Empire no longer exists. 

Does he even look at the architecture of D.C or the symbolism of Oval office pronouncements?

It seems not.

Josephus seems to have had a role in the creation of the Jesus mythological character though it's fair to say that the full story is probably a mixture of little bits of real and fiction in spades.
