And the Roman emperor pissed at the Jews who destroyed the temple didn't care about some, what was to him, some obscure cult.
You should look up what happened when Julian the Apostate tried to rebuild the Temple as a way to negate a central aspect of the faith. Jews all across the empire poured money into the project, and the Romans, well they know how to build stuff that lasts thousands of years.
The result? Shit out of the Old Testament, like an earthquake, a storm, and a plague....the result, was that it never got anywhere.
You don't know that except from some "expert". Other "experts" dispute it. What makes more sense?
The parallels of the Wars of the Jews by Josephus and the gospels are unbelievable. Besides that, Josephus is basically the only corroborating source for the existence of "Jesus" even though he points to at least two Jesus figures.
Yeah, I'm not really interested in myths written about Julian the Apostate. Sounds like he profited handsomely though. Seismic and storm activity does not equal god, or was that story of Elijah a misdirection?
The most likely thing is a repetition of an old story with some adaptation over the year as hearts and minds change.
And of course you're going to have modern experts in dispute about something like the dating of the certain Bible writings in dispute, when the accepted date for a couple millennia would make for some uncomfortable conclusions to some of those experts.
I made another thread about Julian the Apostate. Put your silly snark about that over there.
The Romans destroying the Temple was prophesied by Christ. Book of Mathew was most likely written about 41-60 AD, the Romans did the deed in 70.
Oh hey, this thing predicts that we'll destroy the temple. It must be what we're supposed to do!
And no, the Book of Matthew is unlikely to have been written that early.
And yes, it was written about that early.

You forgot Tacitus mentioning Jesus.
