"A team of historians and scientists wanted to map cultural mobility, so they tracked the births and deaths of notable individuals like David, King of Israel, and Leonardo da Vinci, from 600 BC to the present day. Using them as a proxy for skills and ideas, their map reveals intellectual hotspots and tracks how empires rise and crumble". youtu.be/4gIhRkCcD4U @science @histodon @histodons

Hm. If David, King of Israel, actually existed (a matter of debate amongst serious historical scholars) he definitely did NOT do so between 600 BC and the present day.

So I'm calling bullshit.
