"National Geographic: Herod's Lost Tomb" (2008)

This one was good, a very nice mixture.  Just the right balance.  This is the Herod that tried to kill Jesus as an infant.  The show had "Where is his tomb?" as a very loose mystery framework to organize the show, but otherwise, it was mainly a history of Herod's architectural achievements--based on archaeology, of course, with some brief mentions of Josephus.  I liked the computer generated "picture this from the past" images superimposed on current existing landscape.  Finally, a documentary with all the right balance of pieces in place.
