I agree with that, but they wouldn't have been "Druze" before 1017, true? So what would they have been called, I wonder?
I do need to study the terminology of DNA studies a bit further to become more versed.
Thanks for the note!

Druze believe they are descended from Jethro, the father of Zipporah, Moses' wife. They were Midianites.

The Druze angle was very strange. They didn't even come into existence until 1017, as a spin off of Shia Islam. They "evolved" from there into the Unitarians they are today. Many of the religious ideas they have didn't even come into existence until well after the death and resurrection of Jesus.
Jesus wouldn't have know them to be any different than any other native of the region.
I appreciate the fact they interviewed Druze's from down the road from Nazareth. Their conclave, Isfiya, is actually built on a 5th Century Jewish town named Husifah.
The takeaway from this show should be the DNA from the shroud confirms that the blood is from a person of ancient Jewish decent, or from the land of ancient Israel and Judea, which we, as Christians knew anyway. Thanks for Jesus' address, but we Christians have already been corresponding for some time LOL.
I really take offense when Nat Geo and company spin things. The only purpose of singling out the Druze is to attempt to convince people that Jesus believed that all religions lead to Heaven. By supposing to lump him in with this group, that didn't even exist when he did, they wanted to show him as a unitarian. The Bible clearly tells us that is not the case.
