We are told that the past cannot be changed, but any historian knows that the past is infinitely changeable. The more we research and learn about the past, the more the past changes for us.
Sons of Cain
Peter Vronsky
Sepphoris had also been a center of the Jewish revolts that broke out at the death of Herod the Great in 4 B.C.E. Partially destroyed by the Romans as they put down the rebellion, it was rebuilt by Herod’s son Herod Antipas shortly thereafter. Historians have speculated that Joseph and perhaps Jesus may have worked there. Herod Antipas later built the city of Tiberias, beginning in 19 C.E., which then replaced Sepphoris as the capital of Galilee.
