Historical proof and quotes from non-Christians proving the account of darkness in Matthew 27:45.
Phlegon (second century AD), Greek historian, (The 202nd Olympiad is dated between July 29-June 33):
“In the 4th year of the 202nd Olympiad, there was a great eclipse of the sun, greater than had ever been known before, for at the 6th hour the day was changed into night and the stars were seen in the heavens. An earthquake occurred in Bythinia and overthrew a great part of the city of Nicaea.”
John Philoponus ( 490 – 570 AD), an Alexandrian historian, confirmed the writings of Phlegon:
“And about this darkness, Phlegon recalls it in the Olympiads…he mentioned the eclipse which took place during the crucifixion of the Lord Christ, and no other (eclipse), it is clear that he did not know from his sources about any (similar) eclipse in previous times, and this is shown by the historical account of Tiberius Caesar.”
