Am I alone in finding an off puttingly Zionist tone to this series. In the first programme I dipped into, Simcha Jacobovici was arguing that the alphabet couldn't have been Cannanite in origin because they were obsessed with phallic symbols and fertility godesses, therefore its origin must be Hebrew (I turned over.) The next time I watched, in order to look at the remains of an ancient water conduit 'we had to visit a bad neighbourhood - but don't worry, we took along some security.' He just doesn't seem to be projecting the kind of objective view of the past I'd hope for from a TV documentary.
