The Bible from Space Ordered by National Geographic

National Geographic has commissioned the U.K.’s Caravan to produce the documentary series The Bible from Space (w.t.), which will be hosted by Albert Lin (Lost Treasures of the Maya Snake Kings, China’s Megatomb Revealed).

The Bible from Space is a two-part documentary special that will explore stories from the Old Testament. Lin, a veteran National Geographic explorer and adventurer, will guide viewers through the Holy Lands and the history that could have inspired some of the most well-known biblical stories. Satellite imagery, multi-spectral analysis, magnetometry and aerial photogrammetry will be combined with old-fashioned detective work to find answers.

Jules Oldroyd, senior VP of international programming for National Geographic, commented: “Having had great success in uncovering ancient ruins around the world over the last couple of years, National Geographic is excited to be partnering with Caravan on this series and to have Albert Lin on board a project that will move digital archaeology forward by attempting to reveal the truth of these ancient narratives handed down over countless generations.”

Dinah Lord, founder and managing director of Caravan, said: “Caravan is thrilled to be working with National Geographic to provide its global audience with answers to some of the greatest mysteries of the Bible. Using revolutionary scientific technology alongside expert archaeology, the findings may change our understanding of Biblical stories forever.”
