The Naked Archaeologist is a television series on VisionTV in Canada and History International in the US, that was produced and hosted by the Emmy Award–winning journalist Simcha Jacobovici. There is also an Israeli version, broadcast on Channel 8 (Israel), that was co-hosted by Avri Gilad. The show examines biblical stories and tries to find proof for them by exploring the Holy Land looking for archaeological evidence, personal inferences, deductions, and interviews with scholars and experts.
Subsequent to its original run on VisionTV, it was picked up in the U.S. by The History Channel and its sister network, History International.
The third and final season aired on Vision TV starting from March 22, 2010, and subsequently on History International from November 8, 2010.[1]
