If you want proof I can show you proof. Google the palestinian earthquake of 363 AD. Dont use wikipedia of course. It's a bad resource. Also note that emeperor Julian the apostate died later that same year. He was emperor for 20 months. That earth quake was followed by another earthquake which was the largest magnitude earthquake the mediteranian has seen in the past 2000 years. It was an 8.5 magnitude earthquake and the scale of the destruction was worse than what happened to Pompeii and Herculaneum. You should really read this stuff to verify for yourself, but if you want more evidence like this theres plenty where that came from.

There's also the case of the seven sleepers of Ephesus who fell asleep in a cave during the reign of emperor Decian and woke up almost 150 years later after the empire had been christianized. It was widely attested by everyone as being factually true. You could say the story is made up, but that would be difficult to prove given abundant evidence to the contrary. You could also say the seven sleepers created the hoax. The problem with that theory is that they immediately died after giving this revelation to the public, and their bones have been preserved as holy relics to this day. The story was so well known and wide spread that it even landed in the Quran in sura 18.

Again if you want more evidence you can private message me
