Is the Septuagint the oldest translation of the Bible in the world, or a complete fraud? It's the 3rd century before Christ. In the fabled library of Alexandria, a work has begun which will shake the foundation of the world! On the request of the Greek ruler of Egypt, Ptolemy II, 72 Hebrew scholars are translating the Old Testament into Greek. It is a monumental task which they will complete in a remarkable 72 days. For the next six centuries, the Septuagint (which is Greek for 70) will become the most commonly used Bible in the Middle East. But hold on. Some Jewish scholars think it's a fraud because it clearly points to Jesus Christ as the Messiah. They want this changed. Can they do it? Let's find out!
