[edit] Information

Lost Faces of the Bible- in this limited four-part documentary series, an international team of forensic anthropologists and artists painstakingly work on four ancient, Biblical era skulls using a combination of traditional and state-of-the-art procedures in forensic facial reconstruction to dramatically bring to life some of the most famous (and infamous) faces of the Bible. Though myth-busting archaeology, dramatic recreations, and cutting-edge forensic investigation, National Geographic attempts to accurately reconstruct the faces that may have walked beside the legends of the bible. With unprecendented access to four ancient skulls from the Holy Land, Lost Faces of the Bible seeks to rebuild not only a face, but the life and times of a bygone era. Travelling across the globe, archaelogists and scholars separate fact from myth, while a team of forensic anthropologists and artists put flesh on bone, using traditional and state-of- the-art methods of facial reconstruction.

[edit] Delilah Revealed

Using modern technology and traditional means, the face of a 3,000-year old Philistine is revealed.
In this episode of Lost Faces of the Bible, an exciting archaeological discovery has put a 3000-year-old female skull into the hands of our forensic team. The skull dates to the Iron Age, the time of the Biblical strongman, Samson, and his treacherous lover, Delilah. Our team of archaeologists, scholars and forensic anthropologists gather the evidence in order to provide our forensic artists with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reconstruct the face of a Philistine lady.

[edit] Ancient Warrior

An expert team works to unmask how a man died 6,000 years ago and how he looked in his final hours.
During a time when many societies were transitioning from nomadic lifestyles to more permanent village settlements, a long-lived man was given a special burial in a remote desert cave. Placed around him were various personal objects carefully stained with blood red ochre, including a broken bow, a flint knife, a walking stick and a pair of leather sandals. The presence of weapons inspired the moniker, "The Warrior", but the other artifacts could indicate the roaming existence of a hunter. Six thousand years later, the Lost Faces of the Bible team of archaeologists, forensic anthropologists and artists try to determine how this ancient man lived and what he looked like in his final hours.

[edit] The Man who Saw Jesus

A team of experts travel across the remote villages and ancient synagogues of the Galilee region to reconstruct the life and face of a man who may have lived during Jesus' lifetime 2,000 years ago.
Archaeologists make a rare discovery in Galilee: They discover the burial cave of a man whose mortal remains still remain, indicating burial practices that were common in the 1st century AD. The location and the time of his life indicate that the man lived in the Holy Land at exactly the same time that Jesus of Nazareth was traveling there with his disciples. The team from "Lost Faces of the Bible" is taking a close look at the case and traveling across Israel from remote villages to one of the oldest synagogues on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Their goal is to find out the man's life.

[edit] Sacrificial Child

The discovery of a tiny infant in a clay jar leads the team to explore humanity's history of sacrifice, and reveal the face and the short life of a 6,000-year old child.
During the excavation of an ancient village in Israel, archaeologists made a gruesome discovery: in a clay jar they discovered the skeleton of a child. The body must have been carefully buried under the foundations of a house around six thousand years ago. Why did this happen? And who could have been capable of such an act? Did a mother simply want to be close to her child who died too young? But it is also possible that it was a human sacrifice to appease the gods. The topic of human sacrifice do play a role in the Bible. So also did Abraham.
