Half a century after Robert Curzon and Constantin von Tischendorf discovered highly controversial early texts of the Holy Scripture, new explorers unearthed even more spectacular treasures. Follow archaeologist Dr. Jeff Rose as he travels deep within Egypt's remote settlements on the trail of 19th and 20th century Bible Hunters. We'll meet daring twin sisters, two lucky young scholars, and one American millionaire, whose findings of early and missing Gospels transformed our understanding of Christianity's sacred texts.
Christianity's sacred text faced a crisis over 200 years ago. Culture wars and scientific breakthroughs called many elements of the Bible into question. A handful of bold adventurers set out to prove the authority and historic accuracy of the Holy Scripture. But their quests did just the opposite -- unearthing disturbing inconsistencies and raising more questions than ever before. Join archeologist Dr. Jeff Rose as he details the discoveries made by early Bible Hunters and learn how their findings changed how we look at the Bible.
