Obvious troll is obvious.
Well let's suppose it is indeed from his hand, that doesn't really tell us much. Tacitus wasn't born until AD 57 so anything he had to say is hearsay. Having said that we do have proof positive that Annals was altered centuries later in a Christian monastery, there are also a slew of other highly questionable things regarding that passage. As the adage goes, find one lie; suspect a thousand more.

It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.
