Riddles of the Bible

Biblical archaeologists and religious scholars examine whether the stories of the Old and New Testaments rest on real historical events. The film moves through familiar episodes, the Exodus, the walls of Jericho, the reigns of David and Solomon, and lays out what excavation and ancient texts actually support versus what remains tradition. Researchers describe digs, artifacts, and inscriptions, weighing them against the biblical account line by line rather than accepting either skepticism or faith as a starting point. The tone stays investigative, treating the Bible as a historical document to be tested rather than a text to be defended or debunked. With the source material thin on specifics, the film's value is in watching working archaeologists explain what physical evidence can and cannot prove about events thousands of years old.
