Show detail Hide detail

The Bible is full of strange and fantastic creatures. Legendary and horrific beasts like the Behemoth and Leviathan have captivated our imagination for centuries but did they really exist? Can they be found today or are they just myth? Welcome to the world of Beasts of the Bible, a new 90-minute documentary that explores the most extraordinary creatures in the Biblical tales. New investigations into the origins of these beasts have uncovered shocking truths. For centuries there have been monsters hiding from us in plain sight. For the first time, investigators delve into the origins of these mysterious creatures and examine the scientific facts behind their actual existence. Creatures such as the serpent in the Garden of Eden, the sea monster that swallowed Jonah, the Philistine god Dagon, a merman, and the terrifying four-headed, multi-winged angel that appeared to the prophet Ezekiel. Beasts Of The Bible is an intensely visual experience. Using a variety of the latest CGI techniques, the film brings miraculous beasts to life. Some leap from the pages of medieval manuscripts while others manifest from stars in the night sky, becoming real before our eyes. Featured historians, archaeologists, cryptozoologists and herpetologists guide the investigation, searching for the creatures that may have inspired the early writers of the Bible. It is multilayered mystery-solving at its best. The experts debunk the myths but also uncover Biblical beasts that could have been, showing us what they might have looked like and what their possible real-life descendents could be today. <87mn 40s>
