The Historical Riddle of the Missing 150 years
Release Date:
One of the greatest riddles in history is the strange contradiction between Jewish and Greek sources over the length of the Persian Empire. While Jewish biblical and rabbinic sources speak of a short empire that lasted about 50 years, Greek sources put the Persian Empire as lasting over 200 years.
This riddle has troubled historians for hundreds of years with various theories put forth to resolve it but still remains largely unresolved today.
