The Naked Archaeologist – Episodes in November:

Nov 7: John the Baptist

Archaeologists have discovered what may be the cave where St. John baptized new converts to Christianity. In this episode, host Simcha Jacobovici checks out the cave and learns more about this major Christian saint. He also finds out why the Church of St. John the Baptist features a painting by a Canadian artist, complete with carved beavers on the frame.

Nov. 14 & 21: True Blue/Return of the Hilazon

Why is a debate about a colour so intensely important to some Orthodox Jews? How did the recipe for the true Royal Blue become lost? And what is the Hilazon, the mysterious creature – part fish, part snake – described in the Bible as the source for the dye? Does archaeology hold the answers to these questions?

Nov. 28: The Last Man Standing

The first century historian Flavius Josephus is the scholar most frequently quoted when it comes to the history of Christ's time. His vivid descriptions give us a clear picture of the historic events of the era. But is it an accurate picture? Does archaeology support his accounts?
