BC: The Archaeology of the Bible Lands

on BBC Two England

A series of 12 programmes Written and presented by Magnus Magnusson
5: A Land of Milk and Honey
Were the Canaanites really as wicked as they are depicted in the Books of Joshua and Judges? Tonight's film looks at the religion and high culture of Canaan and, as the Children of Israel cross over Jordan into the Promised Land, we join in one of the liveliest debates of Biblical archaeology-did the Conquest of Canaan ever take place, in the way the Bible describes it?
