Zboření mýtu pevnosti Masada: Římské obléhání trvalo jen pár týdnů

Když koncem první židovské války padl Jeruzalém a Římané zničili Druhý chrám, zbývající židovští povstalci kladli poslední odpor v několika pevnostech. Legenda říká, že jako úplně poslední byla dobyta Masada, bráněná extrémistickými zélóty, která podlehla až po několika letech obléhání. Izraelští archeologové teď ovšem, jak se zdá, s tímto příběhem skoncovali. http://www.osel.cz/13664-zboreni-mytu-pevnosti-masada-rimske-oblehani-trvalo-jen-par-tydnu.html

Why Reddit is the internet’s last great hope

Those AI-generated ducks on X are part of a racist MAGA lie
