      Audience Member Interesting but clearly very biased. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The special effects were nicely done but the scientific work necessary to accurately document these "theories" was completely lacking from this production. And I noticed a distinct "slant" against the Egyptian government and for the Christian religion. I'm not denying that the events in the Bible regarding the Exodus occurred, but I didn't see proof positive that these events were "miracles" produced by an all powerful deity. Rather I saw catastrophic events that occur in nature all the time...earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, poisoned water, disease caused by poisoned or corrupted water, etc. Believing that a specific entity deliberately caused each occurrence in order to get a group of people released from slavery in Egypt is like saying that Katrina was God's way of trying to get New Orleans residents' attention. It was caused by natural occurrences--hurricane winds and broken earthen dams. A better movie is "Rameses: Wrath of God or Man?" At least in that show we see real forensic work, not some goofy guy wandering around the Cairo Museum and rifling among artifacts there like he knows what he's doing! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member incredibly interesting film with some decent theories, but the filmmakers werent honest enough about where the theories were differentiated from the facts. they also made a few assumptions about certain pieces of information which have turned out to be incorrect, despite the fact that there was already solid research in some of the areas they covered at the time the film was made that could have informed their theories a little better. quite a few flaws, but still interesting, well made, and fun to watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Science 1 Religion 0, yet again. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member An in depth theory on "proving" the Exodus out of Israel. The theories are a little shaky to say the best but still a good watch for those who find religious science interesting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant! How science debunks the Old Testament "interpretors". YEEEHAAAA!! e.g. "Reed Sea...." Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Phil Hall EDGE Boston If scholarly evidence is skimpy, the spirited enthusiasm of the presentation more than compensates. Rated: 3/5 Oct 31, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
