Today I got to play the part of a Babylonian soldier. The PBS film crew was at the village filming a production that covers the exile of the Jews from Judah. I was filmed in two scenes with Jews being relocated from Judah to Babylonia. See the details of that history at: http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/HEBREWS/EXILE.HTM
The production will be aired sometime in November on PBS and will likely also get picked up by National Geographic. The working title today is "The Hidden Secrets of the Bible Revealed". My family has since changed my name to "The Babylonian Meanie".
But as you can see, between filming I make good friends with the "slave labor."

OOps, ignore the rolled-up denim shorts under Mr Soldier's tunic, but check out the Babylonian "bling" on his wrist. Not too shabby. ;)
Eldon, that must have been so fun! I can't wait to see you on TV
What an experience! We'll be eager to see you on TV and in National Geographic (to which we subscribe). Unbelievable, how fast your time there is winding down!

Niiiice I'll secretly plan to watch it beforehand and then when me and my friends turn on the TV I'll say "OMG it's Eldon!"
Nice gams Eldon - digging the sandals!
