Bible's Buried Secrets (BBC)Dr Francesca Stavrakopoulou examines how archaeological discoveries are changing the way people interpret stories from the Bible.
Ep. 1: Did King David's empire exist?
The First episode of the BBC programme, hosted by biblical scholar Dr. Francesca Stavrakopoulou. Here she explores what archeology can tell us about the kingdom of David, and even the historicity of
David.
Ep.2: Did God have a wife?
Episode 2 of the documentary "The Bible's Buried Secrets". This episode deals with the origins of the God of the Old Testament (here only El, the Chief God of the ugaritic pantheon, is mentioned, though other influences exist) and with the possible worship of Asherah, a famous Goddess of the ancient Levant, by the Israelites (who were not completely monotheistic before the Exile, in the 6th century BC).
Ep.3: The real garden of Eden
Third and last episode of the BBC programme hosted by Dr Francesca Stavrakopoulou. Here, the young scholar proposes a new and challenging interpretation of the story of the Garden of Eden.
