  • Featuring amateur archaeologist, enthusiast and multi-award winning investigative filmmaker, Simcha Jacobovici, The Naked Archaeologist is an irreverent, entertaining and eye-opening journey into the fascinating archaeology of the ancient world. Along the way, new discoveries are made, lost treasures revealed, and ancient mysteries uncovered.
    New archaeology has revealed what may be the cave where St. John baptized new converts to Christianity. Simcha checks out the cave and learns more about this major Christian saint. He also discovers why, in the Church of St. John the Baptist, there is a painting by a Canadian artist complete with beavers carved on the frame.

    Oscar Wilde didn't invent the story of Salome dancing and asking for John's head!! It's in Mark and Mathew that Herod's step daughter danced and asked for his head, and Josephus names Herod's step daughter as Salome.

      @I C yeah he's entertaining but thats it. He does cast doubt on the Bible and flat out lies about Christianity. He has a doc on the exodus, and one of his shows about it. In both,, he completely goes around the dating of the bible and the historical events in Egypt which fit the exodus as its recorded. Im an amature and could never figure out why he does that other than he is intentually misrepresent the bible on purpose.

    • @lostamericanhistory2536
      @lostamericanhistory2536 Před 3 lety +3

      @I C No im not mistaken. Ive studied this subject for 20 years. You have to use books that are not even in the bible to prove your date to disprove the exodus? No scholar would agree with you. Which theory of Simcha are you talking about? He over shoots one in his exodus decoded but never says why he dates it that way and misses by 50 to 70 years to late with his Akenheten theory. The temple was built somewhere between 950 to 1000. If you go back 480 years from 950 you come Into 18th egyptian dynasty and everything fits. Not only the exodus but From Joseph, to the Exodus, the conquest, and emergence of a unified kingdom under David everything fits within the historical context from the temple being built +/- 20 yrs from 950bc. Im happy to share a list of archeological and historical finds that fit what the Bible says if you want to research it yourself. My question is, since the bible tells us how to date the exodus, why will no one use it? Everyone wants to use the wrong dates, then say see here's proof the bible isn't accurate. Its completely ignorant.

    • @lostamericanhistory2536
      @lostamericanhistory2536 Před 3 lety +1

      @I C It appears your following Simcha exodus decoded documentry. No one agrees with it. In fact there are 3 other ways which scholars date the exodus outside of the bible. That was my point which you clearly expressed. You are using what you can outside of the bible, to disprove the bible.
      Ahmose 1 which is the 18th dynasty not the 17th, matches a lot of the description we are looking for. The problem is dating everything else from that point. From Joseph, the tell Amarna tablets, Altar on mt ebal, fall of Jericho and Ai, the merneptah Stele doesn't agree with your dating though the bible could (depending on the date of the temple construction)
      The bible dates the exodus to around 1446. Hatshepsut would be the Pharaohs daughter. She had a sister that did not hold the title. Hatshepsut died after reigning as Pharaoh, Moses returns to go up against Thuthmosis the 3rd. He has a son die, his second son has a son die, thuthmosis body had signs of boils and was mangled, we have an abrupt stop to military campaigns under Amenhotep 3rd, Amenhotep defaces Hatshepsuts tomb and it wasn't because she was a woman or that he was trying to attribute her success to himself. 40 years later the Amarna tablets detail the conquest which falls under Akenheten the monotheistic heretic who does not send help.
      We are not free to make our opinions facts. What I stated are the historical facts which were derived from Egyptian history to see if they match the Biblical narrative and they do. We can go in more detail if you like?

For as soon as I heard your greeting, the baby within me jumped with gladness" Luke 1 39. Yes, there was further separation when Jesus had to flee to Egypt but should that stop people of Faith not acknowledging the relationship, particularly at a place of veneration for both parties; years later?

    It’s pretty interesting seeing how people are so upset over the popularity of John the Baptist. There are still people today who follow John the Baptist. When John the Baptist baptized Jesus , people still followed John the Baptist and they had nothing to do with Jesus. History is not a neat little package for you to wrap up. Christians should not feel threatened by this whatsoever. So chill out already.

    At 10:00 : the Virgin was painted wearing a blue mantle because the blue paint was made of lapis lazuli, that was imported from Afghanistan and was therefore extremely expensive. Using blue on her was thus a very high esteem for her. And as was said before : Elisabeth got pregnant earlier than Mary.

The Jew at the time didn't know who he was so they sent to enquire. John said he wasn't the Messiah but one who had come before him. So who would raise the child that had been hidden away?

He drank their cup and shed His own blood. The handwriting or curse was blotted out by His actions of drinking their cup (read about the garden where He prayed), just as the priest blotted out what he had written down about the woman.

    21 Then an opportune day came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee. 22 And when Herodias’ daughter herself came in and danced, and pleased Herod and those who sat with him, the king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.” 23 He also swore to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”
    24 So she went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?”
    And she said, “The head of John the Baptist!”
    25 Immediately she came in with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”
    26 And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he did not want to refuse her. 27 Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded his head to be brought. And he went and beheaded him in prison, 28 brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother. 29 When his disciples heard of it, they came and took away his corpse and laid it in a tomb.

    Ummm, I don't think he actually read the Bible regarding John the Baptist. Of course the Bible says he was popular but baptism was not his main focus. He very explicitly stated that he was the forerunner of the Messiah to come.
    John also said something important for you, Simcha, he said "Don't say you have Abraham as your father because God can raise up these stones as children". Otherwise, don't rely on being a Jew to get to heaven, instead be a Jew because you have faith in God.
    John was beheaded for calling out Herod and Herodius for adultery. Popular doesn't really figure in to the picture because neither John nor Jesus was about popularity. And Mary wasn't on her way to Bethlehem to see Elizabeth, she took a special trip to see her and in that she gave one of the most beautiful prayers in the Bible, the Magnificat. I'm not sure you want to know what Elizabeth said, but here it is "Who am I that the MOTHER of my ADONAI has come to see me". Fulfilling ISAIAH.

Even Josephus wrote more about John than Jesús. Jesús was later divinise by his followers and tried to hide John and put words in him that to me are not true.

      The Gospels did NOT downplay John, in fact Jesus called him the greatest prophet ever. Did you know that?
      Jesus said "what did you go to see? A reed shaken in the wind?" You didn't read the Bible because you had no idea it said that.
      Jesus actually mourned for John, so don't tell me the Gospels downplayed John. But John was killed for calling out adultery, can you even do half of that? Are you so terrified of your Muslim overlords that you are afraid to call out Mohammad?
      You are giving the same objections as them.
      The Jews don't even follow what John said. If the Jews did, they would all be baptized unto repentance. But no one was killed for following John, now where they?
      Tell me the first one stoned by the Sanhedrin or crucified by the Romans for following John. There are none, so what does that tell you? That when John said "behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world", and "behold, the one who comes after me is mightier than I" and you think John was after popularity? Oh you generation of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

Then conquered the grave by raising from the dead. He also cured the sick, opened blind eyes, healed the lame and raised dead people. John was the greatest of the prophets but not the messiah. All the other prophets said the messiah is coming John said here is the messiah. Jesus is Lord

Mary had just conceived and went to tell Mary she also was pregnant. John was sent to make the way for Jesus, John baptized by water, paving the way before the people because Jesus was coming. Jesus and John are cousins. John said to Jesus "I am not worthy to wash your feet You should baptize me". Jesus answered John we must complete the prophecy". When Mary was holding John on the first painting and you stated Jesus is not on the painting that was because Mary had only just conceived Jesus, as I said there is six months between John's birth and Jesus birth.
