Anyone here into Simcha Jacobovici / the Naked Archaeologist?

I don't agree with him 100% of the time.. sometimes he stretches things that extra inch when he doesn't really need to, but for the most part alot of his findings and theories are pretty interesting. He's done a few interesting documentaries about the ossuary of James as well as what he believes to be the family tomb of Joseph's bloodline.

I loved his most recent piece, "Decoding the Exodus". They've put it back into rotation on History International if any of you get that channel. It's a really good watch up until the last 15 to 20 mins where he throws in some crap about the ark of the covenant- everything else though, like breaking down the science and nature behind the 10 plauges of egypt, is pretty money.

Can't blame a guy for going after the ark.. you know deep inside every archaeologist wants to be Indiana Jones.
