@TheEvolver311 I don't understand how you can say that when the views presented are always so contrasting.

[TheEvolver311]

@NOCTURNALCURVES i've watched all the episodes. if you do not believe that deciding during the production of the content to disregard the majority concensus with in the field of biblical archaeology in favor of a minority opinion that happens to line up with his personal opinion doesn't constitute a bias then your delusional. he decides who to interview, he edits content, of course he doesn't need to display his bias he simply produces content in favor of his bias.

[TheEvolver311]

@NOCTURNALCURVES the fact that he only represents a specific out look on the issue is his input and a reflection of his opinion. he ignores the majority consenses in favor of the lesser supported views that happen to line up with his personal opinion. he generally interviews the same small circle of historians and archaeologist rarely speaking with individuals that tho considered authorities in the field do not say what he wants to hear.

@TheEvolver311 I'm sorry, do you know the definition of unbiased, and without an input of opinion? I think the point is to try not to take a stance on anything and to let the viewer decide. If he's not an archaeologist the why do you want his opinion? You already have the provided, and almost always contrasting/ranging opinions from the interviewed historians and archaeologists.

[TheEvolver311]

@NOCTURNALCURVES i would disagree with most of your statement, the vast majority of archaeologist take the minimalst stance because that is what the archaeological record tends to show. Jacobovici rarely if ever even mentions this view even tho it is the view of most archaeologist.

the only times i've noticed he supports the minimalist position is when the issue is in regards to christianity.

@EdM021 For general edification if anyone wants to google "Pozzuoil Graffito Alcimilla" should read "Pozzuoli Graffito Alcimilla." Links that contain infotdgeova and ANE-2 should contain the the best info.

@TheEvolver311 Also he IS a journalist. Maybe the should should have been called "The Naked Journalist" But that wouldn't sound very enticing, and he does use archaeology to figure things out. "A journalist collects and disseminates information about current events, people, trends, and issues. " That sort of seems like what he's doing.

@TheEvolver311 How many episodes have you watched? I have never noticed any input of opinions whatsoever. I simply look at the information he provides us with by travelling to Israel and talking to archaeologists. If you can find a show hosted by an archaeologist about similar topics, I'll gladly watch it over this show. For the time being I see nothing wrong with what I've been watching.

@NOCTURNALCURVES A general google for "Pozzuoil Graffito Alcimilla" should reveal something then. But I sent you a private message with three links to assist you. Hope it got through.

I'm going to have to send you a private message. Youtube does not allow posting links and it's getting ever more sophisticated at detecting them.
