Through a mixture of archeology, geography, and storytelling, we visit the ancient sites where Samson grew up and became a legendary figure.

We visit the altar where the angel appeared to his parents and the archeological site of ancient Zorah, where they lived. From there, we travel to Timnah, where Samson first became enmeshed with the Philistines. We look for insights into secret of this Biblical story in the realia of the places where it takes place such as the plants, animals, archeology and geography.

Join us on this adventure through the land of the Samson to discover the truth behind one of the most intriguing figures in the Hebrew Bible.
