The Age of the Peshitta
You don't have one single fact to support your theory. You write false information and misguide innocent people. You also try to justify your errors on the top of huge amount of mistakes you made.

You wrote: First, Josephus is boasting. He's patting himself on the back. His work, he claims, is indispensable (which is useful in his position, given his sponsor). He says that those of his nation say that he's smarter than they are. What a rude thing to say.

You go on to say that so called Jewish synagogues with Greek inscriptions, etc as evidences.

There are huge errors with your points - Josephus himself admits that I has so long accustomed myself to speak our own tongue, that I cannot pronounce Greek with sufficient exactness.

That does not sound like a man who is boasting. If he was boasting, then he would have said I know Greek very well.

Josephus was a Jewish Priest (Jewish Wars Book 1 Preface). So he certainly would have known far more than many jews about Jewish History.

His honesty made him known as "Flavius Josephus" (the family name of Vespasian). He predicted that Vespasian will become Roman Emperor. His prophecy on Vespasian becoming Roman Emperor (Jewish Wars 3.8 ) is also well recorded by Suetonius (The Twelve Caesars, Vespasian 5).

Honesty of Josephus in recording history of Jewish Wars can also be seen through Tacitus' Histories (Book 5), Eusebius' Ecclesiastical History (Book 3), and Jewish History Document Sepher Yosippon (Chapter 87) about the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD.

Second, the testimony of Josephus goes faithful to New Testament.

In Acts 1:19, Field of Blood was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem in their own tongue as Akeldama (transliteration of Aramaic words "Khqel Dama").

There is no indication of not even a single person speaking Greek in Jerusalem. If Jews spoke Greek, then Apostle Paul wouldn't have to write in Aramaic to Jews who lived outside of Israel.

Some Jews started learning Greek only after 106 AD when Nabatean Kingdom ended. Some Jews had to learn Greek when Roman Emperor Trajan took over Provincia Arabia after the Nabatean Kingdom ended in 106 AD.

During the time of Bar Kokhba revolt (132-135 AD), Some Jews spoke Greek very well. Out of 15 Bar Kokhba letters Archaeologist Yigael Yadin found at Nahal Hever, 9 of them are in Aramaic, 4 in Hebrew, and 2 in Greek.

You make errors and you have the nerve to question a honest man like Josephus by saying that he was boasting and he was exaggerating. This reveals your deceptive mind so that you can move forward with your plans.
