Talk:History of Palestine

Year Notations
There should be a year notation added to all year references in the section "Hasmonean period"

This would change the current version of the first paragraph; "In 167, Antiochus IV issued an edict..."

To be this instead; "In 167 BCE, Antiochus IV issued an edict..."

The second paragraph of the current version; "In 164 Antiochus IV (or his son Antiochus V) rescinded the edict..."

To be this instead; "In 164 BCE Antiochus IV (or his son Antiochus V) rescinded the edict..."

The final sentence of the third paragraph of the current version; "...Simon's diplomacy paid off and around 140 Judea was de facto independent."

To be this instead; ""...Simon's diplomacy paid off and around 140 BCE Judea was de facto independent."

And in the fourth paragraph of the current version; "The Seleucid's continued infighting gave Judea free reigns and from 130 it began to conquer its neighbors. Non-Jews in conquered territory were forcibly converted to Judaism, expelled or made to pay tribute.[167] The Edomites became Jewish,[168] and the Samaritan temple at Mount Gerizim was destroyed.[169] By 100, Judea included the entire Palestinian hinterland from the Galilee in the north to the Negev in the south.[170] From 100 to 70 the Hasmoneans conquered many poleis along the coast and in the Transjordan.[171] The warfare and associated plunder made both the Hasmonean kings and Jerusalem's temple institution incredibly rich.[172][lxii]

Emperor Napoleon
"In Fabruary 1799, Emperor Napoleon of France entered Palestine after conquering Egypt..."

This sentence makes it seem like Napoleon was emperor at the time, which he was not of course. I can't edit this because of protection, but it should probably be changed ("The then French general Napoleon" ?). 2A02:A46D:576:0:C816:F34C:F269:FC97 (talk) 21:33, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
