Ancient Greek Hours, NOT Roman: Koine Greek's Surprising Way To Tell Time

In this documentary Adrian Hundhausen presents his incredible discovery: that the Ancient Greeks told time VERY differently from the Ancient Romans, and that virtually every translation of time expressions in Ancient Greek is *wrong* — including translations of the the New Testament into Latin, English, and other languages. This finding promises to reveal subtle but critical insights into the the original Greek text of the New Testament as well as pagan texts, opening up a dimension of the ancient Eastern Mediterranean world very difficult for us to comprehend in the modern age. Journey with me and Adrian as we take you to scenic Palestrina, Italy, where a sundail and a mosaic will unlock deep secrets hidden from scholars and the people for centuries. Adrian's scholarly article on this topic will appear in the 2025 issue of the Journal of Greco-Roman Christianity and Judaism.
