I am posting today with regards to some important and influential historical evidence that I have unearthed regarding the Biblical figure Barrabas.
As you no doubt know, there is a large body of evidence which suggests that there was no tradition where prisoners were released upon popular demand during Passover. In this instance, the historical accuracy of the Gospel is questioned.
However, after looking through an ancient and little known Roman text (the Collectio Flagitiis, held in the collection at the Sopraintendenza agli Archivi di Stato in Palermo) which describes certain elements of custom and practice during the Roman occupation of Judea, I discovered that prisoners were occasionally set free due to popular demand during that period, but only those convicted of certain crimes were eligible for release. I was quite startled to find this included "culum vitium virginis", which roughly translates as "anal rape".
My curiosity was piqued by this interesting discovery, and I decided to travel to the Holy Land in order to investigate further. Working
with David Mevorah, Curator of Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine Periods at the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, I began a full search of any relevant documents or artifacts which might help uncover the truth. After almost a year of painstaking search, I came across a small
pottery fragment which lay almost forgotten in the museum archive. On it was Aramaic text, translating as "Anal Rape". I was not shocked to find out that it fit together exactly with a pottery fragment bearing the name of Barrabas.
I thought maybe that this forum may be able to offer advice on how I can publicise this exciting discovery.
