Here we have something truly ancient for you. The Neo-Babylonian king Nebachuchadnezzar II conquered Judah in 587 BC, causing massive damage and destroying the First Temple in Jerusalem. Here we have the account of a trial some thirty years later of a slave from Judah, most likely enslaved during that war, who has attempted to escape his bondage. How do we actually know about history? Voices of the Past is a channel dedicated to recreating the original accounts from the people who lived through events, or who lived far closer to them than we do today. We do this word for word, with an accompanying soundtrack of rousing music and images. — Thanks for watching!
