History - Digging for the Truth Gods Gold 1 & 2 (DVD), A&E, Documentary

Adventure has a new name! Host, explorer and survival expert Hunter Ellis takes a fresh look at the world's greatest ancient mysteries and puts adventure back into history as he travels to some of the most intriguing, remote and physically challenging locations in the world. With a fresh and engaging approach to archaeology, Hunter goes to extremes and takes us along for the ride. Looted from the Second Temple by the Romans, golden artifacts including a seven-branched candelabrum have slipped in and out of history and legend for 2000 years. Treasures of unparalleled importance, some say that if the lamp were auctioned bids would open at one billion dollars. But it's knowledge, not riches, that drives Hunter Ellis around the world to track these glorious relics. In the second installment of this thrilling two-part DIGGING FOR THE TRUTH, Hunter discovers clues that lead him to the final resting place of the Temple treasures. In tracking the artifacts, he uncovers the complicated and fascinating history of Judeo-Christian tradition and of the tides of civilizations over the past two millennia. GOD'S GOLD may lead Hunter back to Israel, but his real journey is back in time.
