I am Bobby Brown Welcome type high task beyond the meeting so from my heart, radio, I'm here to be sitting down different people heatwave that I think we can all learn from. I hurt radio is number one purpose, but don't take our word for pleasant,

beauty and the Iheart Radio, app apple podcast or ever you get your podcast, because we all have something to learn about. The real me welcome to stuff. You missed in history class, how stuff works, dot com hello and welcome to the pride cast iron, Katy member and I'm very daddy, and we ve been focusing a lot lately on charismatic rebel leaders and specifically guerrilla warfare with TAT about Gara Baldy. We ve talked about his. I leave it sure and we have another one for each day and his name is bar costs by and we had talked a bit about some revolts an r podcast on King Herod Tomb. We touch a little bit about the saga, but this the bar cook by revolt or these and jewish revolt. Isn't it

but the important event in jewish history and one that Sarah and I had missed in history. So that's it we're going to talk about two and to give you a very summary, it's the Jews versus the Romans in Judea, one thirty, two to one thirty, five. Eighty and spoiler alert the Romans but there's a lot more to it than that. Things were always that bad between the Jews and the Romans. We have Pompey doing Judea and sixty three b c, and between that we have five Herod and the massacre of the innocents and that bit of history, that most people probably do now. But there was a pause they have tower than this early roman rule. Interfere much with jewish religious practices, even though they thought they were a bit strain they didn't understand. Why used any pork or in a hurry? images if our God around or why they circumcised babies. But there was no lot of animosity

as my just to look at you strange quaint customs, but there were some big differences. Fundamental differ: says between the Jews and Romans. It was raining little bit from Martin Goodman's, Rome in Jerusalem, the clash of ancient civilizations, and he was saying basically that Roma about political and military power, while Jerusalem was completely centred around religion, and this was That was bound to cause a clash at some point or another results in different ideas, about government and about people about morality, yeah, one exam The Jews didn't celebrate birthdays with any of ritual love. Is a huge, the offer Romans, especially celebrating the emperor's birthday, and to give you idea of how things he usually went: the people, the Romans conquered generally assimilated fairly well into roman culture, local police local customs were absorbed. End things you. She went fairly smoothly

from there won't be tradeoffs, but things were different. With the Jews, because their culture was so friend and so specific, especially when it came to religion, you know being money, monotheistic verses polytheistic, the Romans force their other conquered people into certain religious obligations. They didn't make the Jews do that they didn't make them worship the roman gods, for example. They let them stay with their one. God and enriched the jewish people prayed for the emperor at the Temple and offered sacrifices in his honor, so we ve got all amount of compromise at least early on here, but in sixty six Allergies are? Who is a priest in Jerusalem, put his foot down Sickly inside you know, let's stop offering these sacrifices and the emperor not appropriate in this sphere

the show down, which starts a huge revolt which is the first jewish revolver, goes from sixty six to seventy, and it was not a little skirmish. It's a really really big deal so known as the great revolt and during this time, a lot at the jewish Christians fled, Judea and and indeed the Romans one and strewed. The second temple, which was an absolutely devastating loss to religious life and to do culture and a million Jews died in this revolt. So there were obviously results in some changes in attitude and the Romans start acting differ, to the Jews and Jerusalem, the rule, get harder and stricter, and then there's another event that changes things even further you're one fourteen the emperor Trajan starts a fight against the parthians. The persian empire the Parthian Jews fought with our neighbours, the Persians again

The Romans and meanwhile Jews elsewhere in the empire, began to revolt and in response for these betrayed in their eyes the Romans wiped out jewish communities in Cyprus, Libya, Alexandria and Mesopotamian. So, according to some p, the jewish diaspora, actually started before the second revolver, talk about that a little more later. The next event come one thirty, when Emperor Hadrian's first shows up in June, Islam and he actually starts out with a pretty lenient ran in regard to the Jews. He even try about letting them rebuild the temple, but he later goes on all of this and becomes a very strict and harsh emperor goes the complete opposite direction: the Jews

accorded enemy status. He started deporting them and then he began to oppress their religious practices. He abandoned circumcision. For example, he announced plans to build a roman tumble on top of where the Temple Jerusalem used to be, which of course, is a very sacred spot. This is more than a slap in the face of the desecration its taking places a power and trying to assume them, which is an interesting thing in history, at least for me, in theirs really terrible governor of Judea, the time tiniest Rufus, who is set to take advantage of jewish, and an arm generally bad guys charge a soldier as a Jew in Jerusalem. At this time you can't practice your religion. The way that you want your being governed by a terrible emperor and possibly even more terrible, governor and industry met during some construction. The tomb of Solomon Collapse. Twitch just maybe be

your the last relied wrong said you dear stirred up people are angry. All they need is a compelling leader, and now we Simon bar Kosovo, also known as bar cooked by who led the revolt in like some of the other men. We talked about salmon bar cook a born leader he's really good at you. In view of that kind of stuff he does we even have some of his letters in which he refers to himself is painfully. He thinks quite highly of himself as well and so did other people. Some, like rabbi occupied the time thought he was the Messiah. He got his name barcode about which many son of STAR of course, in the book of numbers, which says there shall come a star out of Jacob in he starts the sun being a gorilla army of a hundred thousand people and the

meanwhile, are hiding out in caves and minting their own coins, and they think that this revolt might actually be the apocalypse and we found archaeology evidence of them. Be in caves, preparing further she's, pretty interesting. Managed to take over Judea and throwing the Romans out and briefly, establishing a jewish state. Some savings. Capture Jerusalem, others disagree, but they achieved great great successes. And the timeframe on how long this this jewish at last. The little shaky some people little happening here. Some people are saying just a few months. Somebody as long as a couple of years, but just the fact that it exists is is important in itself So half the roman army ends up in Judea to quell the rebellion and just think about that, because we all know how powerful the roman army was. It takes half of it to come and fight. One hundred thousand Jews,

Julia Severus is in charge of the army and she wanted pick there's a little bit more dont picture. Two armies coming out each other in a battlefield. You know marching towards one another ends up being a lot of skirmishes between small group, Some say that because the Romans didn't want open battle, they were afraid that You were willing to die for their faith and therefore it would be much bloodier. Then they were willing to get into and others say it was our costs by who wouldn't fight them and open battle, but either way that's how applied played out in front the Jews are actually winning and then the resistance starts to fall apart and again disagreement over, why this happened. Some people think it's arrogant, the part of our cookbook who starts acting like Messiah instead of a leader. Power corrupts yeah to one of the major ashes actually killed. The priest. Alleys are, which would suggest. I don't know power crazed lost,

in order to guide and are now also side of the Romans we have some natural events like famine, disease and fire that were quickly run. Through the ranks of the jewish people and proved to be a much more powerful force than Julia Severus, so drew I'm files in one thirty, five and bar cook, the retreats too are which is a fortress on the coast after losing is, and that's where his last stand. As there's a mad on lamentations, and this is a quote: slew the inhabitants until the horses waded in blood up to the nostrils and oblige rolled along the stones, and this is referring, of course, to the Romans killing the Jews. The fallen guitar happened on Tisch above what is known as the saddest day in jewish history, that's when the first and second temples both fell to these accounts. This was a very

this was a very, very bloody and to better and bar comas people he was killed and his head was brought to hatred have more juice, guitar dying of hunger and thirst than being actually kid and that's why the city fell So once again, we just have this uncertainty. Certain aspects of this account but the queen, at the time of the Romans, wouldn't bury the Jews who died at the tire, regardless of how they died and left them out for years, but the bodies didn't rot and their accounts of this war. Have jewish children being wrapped in tourist scrolls and burned alive, which Sir and I decided and entirely put past the roman army. So after the revolt, one destroyed retards? stride and five hundred thousand Jews are killed, even more that's just a battle yeah cause, even more of them, die from starvation or disease A lot of Romans die to get pretty fed up with,

remaining jewish people and try to crush them. They sell Jews, slaves for the price of a horse and The city was rebuilt as a roman colony, complete with a temple to Jupiter Colony. A year later, capital in dear rename to Palestine Pagan. That using such were put unholy sites. Rabbis were killed, including rabbi occupy we mentioned earlier. I juice forbidden to observe the Sabbath need and synagogues study, the Torah and perhaps most terrible All Jews were banned from the city of Jerusalem until the fourth century and accept the of where they came to the portion of the western wall. That was standing, and this was just like rubbing salt, in the Well India we win win. You mentioned earlier, made more sense to make us. I was having trouble imagining why, if you're gonna kick a whole people out of the city where you bother to let them come back for a day, but because human

them back again to remember the saddest historic They have their religions history later on the emperor after Hadrian's is a little more lenient. He allows for circumcision, again allows for the burying of the dead, but things are never the same We should talk a little bit about why this is so important. Some say that the barcode by revolt, also known as the second jewish River, it is when the jewish diaspora started, because or so many Jews held. Many were enslaved. The religion was oppressed and people ended up now in all parts of the globe and after this jewish state and general was gone for sense upon century in Berkeley, does reputation. Change too for some people some concern. Him. Now the son of lies or the son of the disappointment. Instead sire and in general, people got lot more sceptical of methane

claims That's an interesting turning point.
