Daily Study continues...

I realize that it's been a while since I've posted on this Blog.  I've had to put so much on the VFX Blog.  I continue my daily study, and each day I learn more about the culture of the times.  Some relevant to this project, some not.  But all great!!  Most importantly it keeps me focused.  Once I get the Tech stuff  done I think I know what my topic for my research paper will be.  It will include the use of the "Invisible Arts" in the media and the influence of our all powerful Invincible God in Media.

Galilee - Galilee of the Nations

The northern part of Naphtli  a coastal city on the Sea of  Galilee, near Caperneum, was a mixed race of Jews and pagans after the captivity in Assyria.   Therefore the region was called " Galilee of the nations" and it's people "Gentiles".   During and after the captivity these people impoverished Judaism and their accent became peculiar and noticeable.  ( Thus Peter's accent being pointed out as he denied Jesus) This caused purer Jews to despise the Galileans.  

Thesis wise, this will effect my casting for the crowd.

Eating Positions

Eating Positions during Jesus' day were in the reclining position, that is resting on one arm and sitting back on it.  Usually resting on a pillow or mat or something.  I have to find and do more research to find out about women.  There are quotes about Reclining and Jesus reclining throughout the new testament, but I have to find our what the women and kids did as they were not with the men.  -Facts from the Archeological Bible
