Blake and Jeb look for the real location of Mt. Sinai, where Moses was supposed to have received the Ten Commandments from God.

S04E12 - Ten Commandments (Explicit)

   Jeb and Blake extinguish our cigarettes, put our trays in the upright position, and head out the back of the plane in search of the elusive skyjacker known as D. B. Cooper. Nimoy Fashion Alert - dimly lit corporate office edition.   D. B. Cooper - Wikipedia The Pursuit of D. B. Cooper (Movie) - if you buy it on Amazon we get a few pennies. Recent Netflix series on D. B. Cooper Blake's friend Rick Ollerman offered some opinions on vintage round parachutes.     Later we meet Nimoy outside where you can make out more of his ensemble.   Of course this is an episode about D. B. Cooper - who for Jeb and I, evokes the classic "MIB" look.   This ain't deal-a-meal. This is a different Richard Simmons.   There is some great photography in this episode. I liked seeing the reservoir and dam. Imagine landing there on a stormy November night without jump boots...     Finally - kudos to the faceless Cooper stand-in who lugged stuff around in the anonymous re-creations.

    Jeb and Blake join Leonard Nimoy's search for Pompeii!  (Well - is it really about finding Pompeii?  Or is it about finding a possibly Christian cross in Pompeii?  Tune in and find out!)   Links:     Depictions of the crucifixion in Medieval Art    People debating the cross at Pompeii    Christian graffiti at Pompeii   House of the Faun - Pompeii   About that "lost Legion" thing    Discovery and rediscovery of Pompeii   Giuseppe Fiorelli    Terentius Neo   Lupinar   Villa of Mysteries   Dinosyian Mysteries   Greco-Roman Mysteries   Thyrsus   Nimoy Fashion Alert!    Hey - it's NOT a Jumpsuit.    We complain but there really is WAY too much red-shift in the majority of this episode:     You need pumice? WE GOT BUCKETS OF PUMICE!             

S04E10 - Pompeii (Explicit)

   Jeb and Blake track the last cryptozoology episode of the original In Search Of… as we join the late Peter C. Byrne in a search for "The Abominable Snowman."
