In this series Terry Jones pieces together exciting new archaeological evidence to reveal the startling truth about the Barbarians. In the process the ex-Python discovers how the Roman propaganda machine was able to pull off the greatest con-trick in history and turn their enemies into monsters fit for children's stories.
Begins NOVEMBER 20th 9E/10P
In this documentary series shot on location in Egypt, Israel and Greece, the two-time Emmy Award winning producer and director Simcha Jacobovici digs deep into the most extraordinary finds in the Middle East, showing viewers Biblical archaeology like they've never seen it before: He dances, he raps, he clambers under barbed wire and over fences - and he crosses swords with the world's foremost archaeologists, historians and scientists.
Fast, funny and irreverent (think the Ali G. of archaeology), Jacobovici asks the questions we all want to know the answers to: Why is it so bad to be called a Philistine? Was Jezebel really that sexy? What do you do when you find a 2,000-year-old palace under your house? And where do you stop for a good falafel when you're on your way to find the real Mount Sinai?
