Göbekli Tepe, the Antikythera mechanism, flood stories from peoples who never met, and the world The Chosen recreates. Measured history, no rage bait.

Essays

  • The Temple Older Than FarmingCarved stone pillars weighing many tons, raised before pottery, before the wheel and possibly before farming. What Göbekli Tepe is, what it changed, and what is still being argued about it.
  • The Flood Story Is Not Only in the BibleA god warns one man. He builds a boat and sends out birds. That is Gilgamesh, written down long before Genesis. What the overlap means, and what global flood myths do and do not show.
  • The Antikythera MechanismSponge divers pulled a lump of bronze from a shipwreck in 1901. It turned out to be a geared astronomical calculator from the first or second century BC. What it did, and what it does not prove.
  • What The Chosen Gets Right About First-Century GalileeFishing taxes, Roman collaborators, a town under occupation, and a Jesus who laughs. What The Chosen gets right about first-century life, and where it is doing what every storyteller does.
