Q: So I personally felt that if nothing else Simcha was intelligent and interesting. I think I would like to start following the Naked Archeologist TV series. (at 8:30 on Wendsdays different channels depending on what you get) Are there any comments on how that show compares to the documentary of The Lost Tomb of Jesus?
(See more of my opinion about the documentary under the forum of “The Movie”….how come no one is posting much in that forum, but this one already has 4 pages?? this website is about the documentary itself ppl should look under that forum too!! :-) )

A: Jazzy,
It is as fascinating as the documentary. Please don't miss it for anything in the world. I am an avid fan. Also, check out one of Simcha's first documentaries, "The Quest for the Lost Tribes." I believe that you can order it (DVD or videocassette) at the A&E website.
