In the hills of Judea there lay a people rooted in the land, resisting all those who came to disturb their worship of Elohim. These are the Hebrew tribes who in centuries would come to form what we know as the Jewish people. From them comes the legacy of all Abrahamic faiths: there is but one true God. In this episode the 1001 Knights team discusses the story of these people, the Roman genocide, and their impact on their Arab neighbors. Why did the Jewish people resist the Greeks and Romans so fiercely? How and why were they expelled from the land? How (or if) the land ceased to be the Land of the Jewish People?  Find out about these questions and more in the part one in our series on religion guest hosted by the amazingly awesome Iman Nagy, archaeologist and PhD student of Near Eastern languages and cultures specializing in ancient religions.
