NARRATOR:                         God is dead...

法助動詞 （推測）

to the ancestors of the Jews             in 586 B.C.

Jerusalem and the temple       to their god are in flames

The nation of Israel founded     by King David is wiped out

WILLIAM DEVER:                It would have seemed            to have been the end,

NARRATOR:                    For out of the crucible               of destruction

emerges a sacred book:                the Bible...

and an idea that will change           the world:

THOMAS CAHILL:                This is a new idea

It was an idea that nobody had          ever had before

LEE LEVINE:             Monotheism is well-ensconced,

so something major happened      which is very hard to trace

NARRATOR:                  Now a provocative new story

from discoveries deep within       the Earth and the Bible

EILAT MAZAR:                 We wanted to examine               the possibility

that the remains of King David's         palace are here

DEVER:              We can actually see vivid        evidence here of a destruction

AMNON BEN-TOR:          Question number one: Who did it?

NARRATOR:                  An archaeological detective      story puzzles together clues

to the mystery of who wrote        the Bible, when and why

it was some kind                 of a tiny scroll

I immediately saw very clear,        very distinct letters

This is the ancestor             of the Hebrew script

NARRATOR:                And from out of the Earth

emerge thousands of idols          that suggest God had a wife

We just found this exceptional           clay figurine

NARRATOR:                  Powerful evidence sheds new        light on how one people,

finally turn their back              on idol worship

This makes the god               of ancient Israel

the universal god of the world    that resonates with people,

at least in Jewish, Christian,        and Muslim tradition

NARRATOR:                Now science and scripture            converge to create

a powerful new story             of an ancient people,

Major funding for NOVA        is provided by the following:           NARRATOR:                Near the banks of the Nile       in southern Egypt in 1896,

British archaeologist Flinders  Petrie leads an excavation

in Thebes,                the ancient city of the dead

Here, he unearths one of the   most important discoveries

the corner of a royal monument,          carved in stone

Dedicated in honor                of Pharaoh Merneptah,

it became known              as the Merneptah Stele

DONALD REDFORD:                   This stele is

what the Egyptians would have   called a "triumph stele,"

a victory stele commemorating    victory over foreign peoples

NARRATOR:                    Most of the hieroglyphic          inscription celebrates

Merneptah's triumph over Libya,       his enemy to the West

But almost as an afterthought,      he mentions his conquest

of people to the East           in just two lines

REDFORD:                     The text reads,

"Ashkelon has been                   brought captive

"Yanoam in the North Jordan        Valley has been seized

Israel has been shorn,        its seed no longer exists"

NARRATOR:                  History proves the pharaoh's     confident boast to be wrong

Rather than marking              their annihilation,

Merneptah's Stele announces              the entrance

onto the world stage       of a people named Israel

REDFORD:             This is priceless evidence

for the presence of an ethnical        group called Israel

in the central highlands           of southern Canaan

NARRATOR:                 The well-established Egyptian           chronology

Merneptah's Stele                  is powerful evidence

that a people called the     Israelites are living in Canaan,

in what today includes Israel            and Palestine

The ancient Israelites are best  known through familiar stories

Moses and                    the Ten Commandments...

It is the ancient Israelites         who write the Bible

Through writing              the Hebrew Bible,

the beliefs of the ancient           Israelites survive

to become Judaism,           one of the world's oldest

continuously practiced              religions

And it is the Jews who give    the world an astounding legacy:
