JOSEPHUS IN THE NEWS: Moneyplans.net has recycled an article on "Dead Sea Minerals and Skincare Products : Cleopatra's Beauty Secret" that extols the healing virtues of Dead Sea mud. It originally came from the Jerusalem Post, although this is not acknowledged. For commentary on the references to the Queen of Sheba, Cleopatra, and Josephus, see my earlier post here I don't know whether Josephus actually said anything like this or not.
