Recommendation Request recommendation request: looking for the best documentary or docuseries about the historicity of the Bible.

11 Upvotes

Hello! I'm looking for something to watch that discusses the relationship of the Bible to history, as in which events depicted in it did or did not happen, and if they did happen, did they happen as depicted? I am not religious, but interested in history so I'm looking for something rooted in the pursuit of truth, not in proving any particular narrative or beliefs. I'm also open to something about the historicity of Jesus's actions/lifetime/miracles/etc. Thanks in advance!

Recommendation Request Recommendation request: Destruction Docs

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for docs about destruction in the sense of plane malfunctions, ship wrecks, fires, collapses, and crashes. Not really interested in weather based things like earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc. (unless they relate to the above). I’ve watched Destruction Decoded and Disaster Autopsy, and that’s pretty much exactly what I’m looking for.
