This beautifully filmed documentary dates a hymn beloved by our family, The Lord Bless You And Keep You, to a prayer at least as old as the 7th century b.c. I look forward to hearing more results as the archaeological dig of the city walls of Jerusalem progresses.

I just watched the documentary. Although it's research and assertions were more "fair" than many that deal with ancient origins of religion, this is not saying much. What this show failed to do like others was present a more balanced view of ancient Egypt and its "actual" beliefs of religion. Although the modern egyptological view that "ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Greece to name a few worshipped many Gods," is promoted like it is itself the gospel truth, there are "many" who disagree with this notion altogether. These lands did "not" worship many Gods. They believed in the concept of "One God" and Ancient Egypt/Kemet developed the concept originally. The believed that this "One God" manifests in everything we see, touch, taste, feel and hear. Everything to them was/is a manifestation of this "One God." There are many who share this view. Joseph Cambell and Dr. Muata Ashby are two of them. So the documentary was biased as it attempted to give the benefit of the doubt to the Isralites as being the originators of the "One God" principle when in fact the only evidence if any to substantiate this was circumstantial at best.

The Bible's Buried Secrets is PBS' Magnum Opus.
The evidence-based explanation of how the Torah was developed and written is clear and compelling.
This is arguably the best documentary film available. It is a must see for anyone interested in ancient history, culture and the development of religion.

Comments about PBS NOVA: The Bible's Buried Secrets DVD:
I had been expecting this to also have secrets about the book of Genesis and some of the New Testiment as well, but it is nice to see who the Israelits really were really came from. That is interesting along with other the biblical secrets.intersting. The extra features are nice too. It is also nice to see the landscape and old cities too. It is also nice to see what years they took place too.
Comments about PBS NOVA: The Bible's Buried Secrets DVD:
This piece does justice to the complexity of its subject without being distant, overwhelming or boring. "Believer" or "not" or somewhere-in-between, the viewer of this DVD is bound to learn something new about "the Book of Books". It is a prize.
