Yes, but some of us have attempted to improve ourselves; and that has had a generally benign overall and cumulative effect.

Very important backdrop for understanding the New Testament Gospels.

Yes, kind of sad how quickly the Hasmonean kingdom went downhill after Hyrcanus. AJ in particular was a real piece of work.

“Read up on Babi-Yar.”
You are correct, of course, to point out that massacres are not restricted to long ago history. They are still happening in the 21st century. I do believe we have made progress as human beings, but it is often 2 steps forward 1 step back. Sometimes it's more than 1 step back. This is why, in my opinion, intellectual advancement (e.g. advanced technologies) don't necessarily lead to (or occur concomitant with) moral advancement. That is, to me, the reason why spiritual advancement is what will allow us to survive, and is the most crucial aspect of our growth as humans.
We have a long way to go.

Are there any particular scriptures that you may have in mind about this period?

Many: The interrogation “contests” between the Pharisees and the Saducess (Mark 12 and parallels); the questioning at Caesara Philipi “who do you say that I am?” and the follow-up rebuke of Peter for his disappointment that Jesus would not be a political conquering Messiah but one whose victory is claimed through suffering (also see 1 Corinthians 1:18-25), That’s just for starters.

Also the dialog between the Risen Christ and the two disciples along the road to Emmaus (Luke 24).

Evidence of a mass slaying, including cruel beheadings,
As opposed to "friendly beheadings"?

BCE = PC.
They did not in any way alter the timeline. They usurped an existing timeline based upon the life of Christ.
Pure cultural communism.
