Episode Title: Jerusalem and The Black Prince

Overview:

It's been an enduring mystery for two thousand years; what stopped the brutal Assyrian army from sacking Jerusalem in 701 BCE? The army was poised outside the walls of Jerusalem - imagine the US Army against the Saskatoon police force - but at the last moment, according to the Bible, "an angel of God" intervened and the Assyrians were defeated.
