From Homo Sapiens II

From Homo Sapiens II: Social inequalities greet us from the day of birth and accompany us throughout our life journey.

История Иудеев (45)

История Иудеев (45): Шел тридцатый год новой эры. Иудея бурлила. Римская власть сделав Иудею автономией, подчинила управление Сирийскому наместнику.
