An artefact in the Ngarrindjeri Keeping Place Archive depicts two Ngarrindjeri women circa 1915 in Milang

Rebecca Richards is continuing her anthropological work with the Ngarrindjeri community in her hometown, Barmera.

Many people wonder if there is proof that Jesus existed. The truth is, historians have several sources that mention him. Some are from the Bible, while others are from historical texts of that time. Not all are religious documents.

One famous historian named Josephus wrote about Jesus in his texts. He lived around the same time, which gives more credibility.

Did you know?

Josephus was not a Christian but a Jewish historian.

Another source is Tacitus, a Roman historian.

These writings are important because they come from different perspectives.

Both provide important clues outside of the Bible. This helps historians study what life was like during that time.

Whether you're a believer or just curious, looking into these texts can be interesting. It helps us understand how people lived, thought, and wrote during those ancient times.

Looking for a Tumblr post from years ago. Medium length. It argued that fiction can be more revealing than history. I think it quoted a Russian novel, possibly about aristocrats/Romanovs/revolutionary Russia. The point was that the novel captured what historical events felt like in a way a history book couldn't.
