Episodes

Season 1
  • Mysteries of The Holy Arks

    +

    Two very different arks. One burning question. Did they really exist? Perhaps two of the most coveted "artifacts" from the Bible the Ark of the Covenant and Noahs Ark are brought together in this Mysteries of the Bible compilation.

  • Who Wrote The Dead Sea Scrolls

    +

    The Dead Sea Scrolls have been hailed by many as the greatest archaeological find of the modern era but from the outset, they have attracted controversy. After years of debate, we now know they contain some of the oldest biblical texts ever discovered, but we still dont know who wrote them. In this film, archaeologist Bob Cargill goes in search of the answer to one of historys most intriguing questions.

  • Remaking The Shroud

    +

    The Turin Shroud and its ghostly, life-sized image of a man is among the most publicly recognized Christian artifacts. To many of the faithful, it is an image of Christ left behind after the Resurrection. To many skeptics, it is an ingenious forgery. The problem has been that no one could persuasively duplicate it or show how it was made. Armed with compelling new scientific and historical evidence, an expert attempts to re-create the Shroud and a historian explores how it may have been crafted not to deceive but to inspire faith.
