Oh Christ!!
History International will begin running a series called "The Naked Archaeologist" on Monday.
The producer is none other than Simcha Jacobovici of recent "The Exodus Decoded" fame....(infamy?)
I know I shouldn't watch but like a moth to a flame..................

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

that the invention of the alphabet contributed to the Biblical Exodus; that recently discovered Bronze Age ceramic penises may explain why Delilah fell for Samson; and that an African army rescued Jerusalem in the 8th Century B.C.
?
I wonder where these "theories" came from, Michelle? Perhaps, like a certain president of the us, he sets up straw men so he has something to knock down?

Thanks Michelle. Yes, this fellow actually put on a good production I thought (dramatic music, good computer graphics, and new twists on old ideas) He still has me thinking about the Hyksos occupation.MichelleH wrote:Beags,
Here is some "background" on it/him http://www.uktv.co.uk/?uktv=standardite ... aID=539121
But then he tried to make the Santorini volcano responsible for the entire book of Exodus. Too bad. I would watch more stuff of his though.

the only feeling i got was to find the nearest washroom and upchuck.
Maybe it won't be as bad as the other thing?

“Where do you stop for a good falafel when you’re on your way to find the real Mount Sinai?”
Oh my aching sides.
I'm no expert but this all looks a bit "Archaeology is the new rock'n'roll" to me. Give it about six months and something else will be the new rock'n'roll. Maybe rock'n'roll will be the new rock'n'roll?

sorry but i missed the quotes, my fault. but i think my response was still funny.Ahh..arch....I believe you misunderstood
actually it kindof saddens me that this guy is giventhe opportunity to mess with history and scriptures. if his research in 'the exodus decoded' is any example of his work to come, we are all in for a world of hurt and misinformation.
minimalist, i checked and my cable company did not make a contract with history channel so although it is possible to get it here , i can't watch it as it is not carried by my server. so if you happen to make any copies, i would be interested in viewing one or two of his 'shows'.
till next time

You'd be risking your dinner but I'll see what I can do.
