3,000 years ago, Jerusalem was home to King Solomon's Temple: for the Jews, the holiest temple in the entire world. It housed priceless treasures symbolizing communication between God and humankind - the Ark of the Covenant, a pair of silver trumpets, a bejewelled golden table and a massive golden menorah - along with billions of dollars worth of gold. To control these sacred objects was to control heaven, the seas and everything in between. But what happened to the temple and its treasure? In this two-part episode, The Naked Archaeologist tracks the Temple booty from Jerusalem to Rome and back again. Has a 2,000-year-old mystery finally been solved?
