National Geographic - Lost Faces of the Bible (2012) Part 1 Delilah Revealed

Lost Faces of the Bible- in this limited four-part documentary series, an international team of forensic anthropologists and artists painstakingly work on four ancient, Biblical era skulls using a combination of traditional and state-of-the-art procedures in forensic facial reconstruction to dramatically bring to life some of the most famous (and infamous) faces of the Bible. Though myth-busting archaeology, dramatic recreations, and cutting-edge forensic investigation, National Geographic attempts to accurately reconstruct the faces that may have walked beside the legends of the bible. With unprecendented access to four ancient skulls from the Holy Land, Lost Faces of the Bible seeks to rebuild not only a face, but the life and times of a bygone era. Travelling across the globe, archaelogists and scholars separate fact from myth, while a team of forensic anthropologists and artists put flesh on bone, using traditional and state-of- the-art methods of facial reconstruction.

In this episode of Lost Faces of the Bible, an exciting archaeological discovery has put a 3000-year-old female skull into the hands of our forensic team. The skull dates to the Iron Age, the time of the Biblical strongman, Samson, and his treacherous lover, Delilah. Our team of archaeologists, scholars and forensic anthropologists gather the evidence in order to provide our forensic artists with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reconstruct the face of a Philistine lady.
