Decoding the Exodus.

[Sheryl]

I love the History Channel. The other night I watched a show titled The Exodus Decoded. I found it really interesting. Anyways I've been meaning to post about it and see if anyone else had the caught the show. But I went to the site and saw that it would be on again in the U.S. today at 5:00 pm Eastern/Pacific. Here's the synopis from the site.



The story of the Exodus invokes an epic tale--Pharaohs and Israelites, plagues and miracles, splitting of the sea and drowning of an army, and Moses. It's at the heart of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. After much research--working with archaeologists, Egyptologists, geologists, and theologians--filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici concluded that the Exodus took place hundreds of years earlier than thought. With a new timetable, Jacobovici reexamined artifacts and discovered that the traditional consensus on the date was reached without reference to Judaic texts that record the oral traditions. When Jacobovici consulted these texts, they revealed names of people and places unknown to researchers until recently when extensive excavations in the Nile Delta took place. Teaming up with special effects designers, he created a unique digital experience of the Exodus. Blending archaeological findings with eye-catching effects, Jacobovici creates a virtual museum to showcase his discoveries. TVPG V cc

I spotted that option on the previous site. I may do that when I get over the current bills crisis.
