The following is a passage from the gospel of Luke:
23:44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
If this is to be taken at face value as a real event, then why do we not see any accounts by any other civilization of this happening?
Many other cultures around the world had very advanced astronomy at the time.
The Chinese, Mayans, and Arabs, for example.
Of course the Romans, who were the occupying government in the Bible story and who kept prodigious and meticulous records of everything, have no record at all of such a remarkable and dramatic astronomical event.
If this really happened, why is there absolutely no mention of it by any other nation in the world, especially those who had skilled astronomers?
Biblical accuracy?
