Did the sky really go dark as biblical inerrantists insist?

Far more to the point, what does it say in the earliest Greek that we have? And is that even directly comparable to the Hebrew that's in the OT?

From your NASA link, the April 32AD eclipse was nowhere total, and so minor in Israel as to be nearly unnoticeable. And the March 33AD event was total over Antarctica and the Indian Ocean, and wasn't an eclipse at all in the Middle East.Do you know if the 29AD eclipse is documented as being total in Jerusalem? From the map, it looks like totality might have been a hair to the north - though it would have gotten pretty dark there with that near of a miss.
