I watched some of this last night. Curious if anyone watched the whole thing? Very interesting take on how people moved to worshiping a single god.
It may be an old one, or already discussed in another thread. You can watch it if you clicky clicky.

I had commented on the Nova program on
Ye Religion Thread
, but I'll copy my comment here:
I found it to be a fascinating and often compelling presentation of the archaeological research and discoveries illuminating the origin of the Isrealites. It did get rather speculative at times, like the theorizing about the escaped group of Caananite slaves from Egypt passing through YHW, bringing the YHWH god to the Israelites.
But they did seem to have a fair amount of data pointing to the Israelites themselves having always been descendents of the lower strata Caananite population, who resettled the Caanan highlands after the collapse of the city-state system there. And a distinct lack of evidence of any mass exodus of Isrealites from Egypt.
I particularly enjoyed the parts where they were able to corroborate specific events depicted in the Bible with other historical accounts, particularly the Egyptian artifacts documenting these events and placing them in a well-established timeline. (For example, the pillaging of Solomon's temple by king Shishak of Egypt.)
Interesting stuff.
