It's a rerun from 2008 but I caught part of it and I'll DVR it to review here. The part I caught traced the origins of the Jews to Canaanites enslaved by Egypt, who escaped and together with other refugees they created Judaism. The first reference to a god with a name like "Yaweh" is an Egyptian reference to one that sounds like "Yahoo." Cracked me up!
I like how PBS ignores religion until right before Easter and Christmas, when they feel obliged to air non-Christian shows for some reason. Strange, but interesting.
You can get the DVD here:
