Surely people other than Mathew would have remarked upon this?
Did the Romans round them up and take them to Area LI?

Monica: all I can think about is the story of the golem but of course that doesn't apply here.

its amazing how much stuff isnt documented in any other sources other than the bible.
im sure that if jesus ran around the temples throwing the merchants stuff around, it would have been documented.
im pretty sure that his resurrection would have been documented.
im quite sure that one of the wisemen would have documented some of his childhood.
but nope. nothing.

It is because you don't believe the only true history book, The Bible. You will not find in your history books that the Lord Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and rose again the third day for your justification but He did. 1 Corinthians 15: 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 1 Corinthians 15: 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Of course it didn't really happen, but what was the motivation for including this bit? I'm guessing it doesn't appear in the other Synoptics, so does it have some special significance for the target audience of the Gospel of Matthew (not written by Matthew, by the way)? The target audience for that one was Jews, but I can't think of any Jewish myths involving zombies.

Like all the records from that period in the area have survived... or that there were all that many historians around in the first place... or that many of them would have believed a bunch of rustics from a backwoods province.
