The Story of Biblical Archeology
For decades, secular archaeologists have regularly announced discoveries that seem to contradict the Bible. A prime example of this was a conclusion by renowned archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon, who stated publicly that the Biblical account of the conquest of Jericho could not possibly be factual. This eye-opening video shows how Biblical Archaeology uncovered the true story about the battle for Jericho. To experience the detective-like quest of Biblical Archaeology, viewers will join an actual dig in Israel to begin a search for Joshua's Ai at Khirbet el-Maqatir with Dr. Bryant Wood and Gary Byers. Become part of the fascinating process of selecting the site, preparing for the excavation, and peeling back the layers of time to reveal the clues to ancient history.

One of the most significant cases in European archaeology is the grave of the shaman woman of Bad Dürrenberg, a key finding of the last hunter-gatherer groups. From a time when there were no written records, this site was first researched by the Nazis, who saw a physically strong male warrior from an ‘original Aryan race’ in the buried person. It was, in fact, the most powerful woman of her time. The latest research shows that she was dark-skinned, had physical deformities, and was a spiritual leader. The documentary – using high-end CGI and motion capture – compares the researchers of the Nazi era, who misrepresented and instrumentalised their findings, to today’s researchers, who meticulously compile findings and evidence, and use cross- disciplinary methods to examine and evaluate them. It also substantiates the theory of the powerful roles women played in prehistoric times. The story of this woman, buried with a baby in her arms, still fascinates us 9,000 years after her death.
