Synopsis

A team of scientists joins forces with religious scholars to investigate biblical tales of murder, miracles and mystery. Did the events detailed in the holy book really occur?

In 1947 in the Judean desert, a shepherd stumbled upon one of the greatest archaeological finds of all time, a cache of mouldering texts, written on papyrus and animal hides.

Soon the world would know them as the Dead Sea Scrolls, but what secrets do they hide about Judaism and Christianity?

Episodes

Lost Kings of Israel
According to the Bible, David killed Goliath and captured Jerusalem to become the first king of Israel. Solomon succeeded him to the throne and built the First Temple. From there, he ruled Jerusalem, a magnificent metropolis. Were these kings of the Bible real men, or are they fictional heroes of mythical kingdoms?

Cain and Abel: Brothers at War
Both the Koran and the Old Testament offer tales of Cain and Abel, the sons of Adam and Eve. The men offered sacrifices to God, but when God favoured Abel, Cain was filled with jealousy and killed his brother. Did this event really happen?
