description: "Simcha Jacobovici is a Canadian–Israeli journalist, documentary filmmaker and author. He has created documentaries on Israel, biblical history, Atlantis, and the transatlantic slave trade, among other topics. While several scholars consider him to be a pseudo-archeologist and pseudo-historian., the New York Times referred to him as having an “Indiana Jones-ish persona,” noting his dramatic, investigative approach."
