    I recently had a short history exam

    we had to do short dot points on a particular word. One word was "Zealots"

    Among my answers were:

    -The uprising of the Zealots resulted in the destruction of Jerusalem

    -The Zealots were propelled by messianic speculation

    -The origin of the Zealots went as far back as 2nd century BCE under Antiochus, which fuelled Jewish nationalism

    If anyone has even a little knowledge of the subject, what do you think if these answers?

    All of these were marked incorrect
