Link to Mysteries of the bible: Herod the great documentary
Documentary Description
The man we know as
"King Herod the Great" is mentioned only briefly in the Bible. Nearly a
century after his death, Josephus, a first century historian, described
him as a king who "stole the throne like a fox, ruled like a tiger and
died like a dog," having murdered most of his family. So who was Herod
really? Was he a spineless collaborator with Rome, the ruthless killer
of infants and the would-be assassin of baby Jesus? Or was he an astute
politician, a forceful king and the greatest builder in Jewish history?
Join the world's leading archeologists, historians and scholars as they
search for the truth about one of the Bible's most legendary villains.
