The Aramaic of today is very different than the Aramaic spoken thousands of years ago same for the koine Greek and Hebrew. Yes there are people who speak them today, but the scholar in the video has the same information that all scholars who have translated bible throughout history had he doesn't have anything new. So why would I believe him as if he were some kind of authority on the subject. Especially after he denied what Jesus meant by saying I am in John 8.The underlying Greek word eimi conveys the same meaning as I am. Same with the underlying Hebrew word in Exodus 3 Haw-yaw.He may have had some good points, but I cannot take someone seriously when they try and reduce Jesus to just some nice guy.

By original bible do you mean original autographs? If so you are correct. The original autographs were never compiled into one book to make a bible and are long lost and will never be recovered anyway. There could not be bibles as we know them until after the 4th and 5th century, because the canons of scripture were not developed until after then although some claim Origen may have had a bible with all 66 books of the protestant canon in the 3rd century, but there is no proof of that.
