What is the validity of history found in the Bible? Is it fact or fiction? What does the hard evidence really have to say about the foundational story of the Old Testament: the Exodus out of Egypt? An in-depth investigation by documentary filmmaker Tim Mahoney searches for answers to these questions amid startling new finds that may change traditional views of history and the Bible.

Supported by facts. Regardless of what you "believe" about the Bible, the Israelites were in Egypt when they said they were. Kathleen Kenyon was wrong, but Josephus was right - there were no "hyksos", only a letter written to Suppiluliuma asking if he had any sons of marrying age....

If I had a nag, it would be: I'd like more REAL photos of the sites and artifacts (such as the smashed statute of Joshua), and fewer CGI recreations. That just seems so tacky to me. That said, it's a brilliant documentary. It raises an often overlooked question: who corrects academia and institutionalized science when they're wrong? Do they ever acknowledge that they are? Biblical timeline aside: when the timelines of surrounding areas don't match your timeline, you might be wrong.

Love how he takes an unbiased view and finds the discrepancies between what we know and the actual story of Exodus, to bring the 2 together with accuracy. Funny how aethsts and scholars will not change their views, even when proof shows, and common sense slaps them in the face!!
