Chapter 1 - The Stories Thus Far

In the inaugural episode of The Continuous History of the Jewish people, we review what the Jews of 175 bc would have thought their history was for the previous 1000 years or so. We start with the patriarch Abraham and his descendants, meet Moses, then the settling of the land of Canaan and unification under the monarchy, the Neo-Assyrian invasions, the Babylonian invasions, Cyrus the Great and the return facilitated by Achaemenid empire, meet Zerubavel, Ezra and Nehemiah, and then Alexander the Great and the Greek invasions, ultimately with the Jews falling under the rule of the Greek Seleucid Empire and Antiochus III after the Battle of Panium.
