      They did, it’s just that you have two billion people ignoring them because they aren’t in the compilation Rome put together and everyone else ignores them because of exhaustion hearing about the Rome version their entire life.

      Super interesting stuff and way ahead of its time, understandably opposed by conservative Judaism at that period, and extremely different from what most people think was being discussed (nearly the opposite one might even say).

      But it’s one of those rabbit holes that’s only worth going down for personal discovery, as nearly nobody gives a crap about it for varying reasons.
