Flavius Josephus

Flavius Josephus was a Subjective Propagandist, not an Objective Historian.

Flavius Josephus was a traitor who was hired by the Roman Flavian family in order to manipulate the first century history of Judea into pro-Roman propaganda. Josephus himself even admitted to such, calling the Flavian patriarch Vespasian his patron and savior. Josephus defected to the Flavian camp during the Jerusalem revolt, and later went about rewriting the events of first century Judea with a heavily pro-Flavian spin in exchange for decades of wealth and status. Josephus betrayed his family, his culture and his friends and their efforts to remove the Roman occupiers' yolk from around their necks. Therefore, it should be asked: why would anyone trust a traitor such as Josephus to tell the supposed history of those whom he betrayed? In fact, we only know the "history" of the "historian" Josephus through his own accounts. Nothing that Josephus stated in his writings can be trusted: in fact, his very existence as a historian is questionable. Therefore one must come to realize that most if not all of what was supposedly written by Josephus was nothing more than Flavian-centrist propaganda, and that in many if not most if not all cases, the truth was most likely the complete opposite of what the Flavians and their lackey claimed had happened.
