That time is actually very interesting for Judaism. There was a lot of upheaval in the religion before the fall of the second temple- and there were many, many sects as you might call them. Josephus (Who is an unreliable narrator, but he's what we got) talks about three, Sadduees, Pharisees, and the Essenes. Throw into that the rebellious factions (Including early Christians) and the Sicarii? It was a very chaotic time. Later, Christ would be called a messiah by one group of Jewish people who splintered off of what would eventually become the more modern version of Judaism.
Holy crap. Malware hidden in a strand of DNA hijacks the computer that analyzes that particular gene sequence.
We're going to live in a very weird world man.
@DuckRex Ukraine is strong!
Anyway, there was lots of stuff like that. I get that it's a replica, but I just don't see why you'd go to the effort of building a big fake boat (pictured) without making at least a plausible effort on the rigging.
(to those who followed me for chemistry or whatever: it'll come back, but please try to empathise with my boat disappointment)
Take a look at this pic from the quarterdeck of the replica of the Amsterdam.
•The foremast only has one yard. What's the point of the rest of it? Surely there s a should be more?
•There were no pinrails on the sides of the ship, and an impracticably small number on the masts. Is that wrong, or is that how this ships actually worked? Maybe that's why the foremast was basically empty?
•The shrouds have ratlines up to the tops, but none on the crosstrees which you can juuust see in this pic. Wtf?
I don't suppose there are any other tallship sailors hanging around here? I kind of want to rant about the lack of shipnerdery at Het Scheepvaartmusem, the Dutch national maritime museum

@DuckRex @SquidPresident@cryptids.online @socialskeleton Yes, but look at what I found out about ducks on a website on the internet. No one lies on the internet, as we are well aware:
