National Geographic - Lost Faces of the Bible (2012) Part 2 Ancient Warrior

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.

Part 2 Ancient Warrior

An expert team works to unmask how a man died 6,000 years ago and how he looked in his final hours. During a time when many societies were transitioning from nomadic lifestyles to more permanent village settlements, a long-lived man was given a special burial in a remote desert cave. Placed around him were various personal objects carefully stained with blood red ochre, including a broken bow, a flint knife, a walking stick and a pair of leather sandals. The presence of weapons inspired the moniker, “The Warrior”, but the other artifacts could indicate the roaming existence of a hunter. Six thousand years later, the Lost Faces of the Bible team of archaeologists, forensic anthropologists and artists try to determine how this ancient man lived and what he looked like in his final hours.
