Watch The Exodus Decoded For Free

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

hyped garbage

Highly Overrated But Still Good

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It makes sense how the water turning to blood was actually a gas leak below the water, turning the water red and killing life, and how that phenomenon has happened before.It makes sense how the frogs can survive that type of gas leak in the water but would leave the water... creating the plague of frogs.It makes sense how lice, flies, epidemic, boils and blisters are all a result of this.It makes sense that the volcanic eruption of Santorini is the next step of the gas leak below the water and how that is the rain of fire and ice - volcanic lava being shot up so high into the atmosphere that it hails back down.It makes sense that locusts would be fleeing the cloud of ash from the volcano.It makes sense that the cloud of ash creates darkness and the low poisonous gas that follows kills the first born Egyptian children because they sleep in the lowest area of their homes in a special bed and Israelite children slept on the roofs.This movie continues to connect dots. I loved it.

I had to watch this documentary to see for myself. I am no scholar, but I am passionate about ancient history. Especially Egypt and the middle-East.I have to say I hate when people try to manipulate and change facts to further their own agenda.This is really badly researched and I am sure some people will believe everything as it is presented in the right way. But sadly full of errors and dating problems.I suggest you read the Higgaion, the page changed location here is the new link http://theheards.us/chris/?page_id=141 At least read it if you see this documentary as a second opinion.This is a very sad day when people in our time manipulate facts. A sad day indeed.

Whether the exodus occurred or not, The Exodus Decoded is filled with lies. While I'm not an expect in any of the relevant subjects, I knew enough to be suspicious of its wild and bizarre claims. I checked up on it and found an extensive review that debunks, with reason and hard evidence, just about every aspect of this travesty of a "documentary"."The Exodus Decoded: An extended review by Christopher Heard" http://www.heardworld.com/higgaion/?p=60Here's a quick example of how this documentary lies and distorts evidence. Look at this original stela: http://www.romesburg.com/exodus/exodusgraphics/stela-3detail.jpgNow here's the cg "reconstruction" of that same stela, from Exodus Decoded: http://www.heardworld.com/higgaion/higpix/ED_emptystela2.pngSorry about the poor image quality, but the important details are sufficiently clear. Note how they change the animals in the middle from lions to horses by changing their tails from an upward curve (which in ancient art would indicate a lion) to a downward curve (which ancient art of this sort would never depict a horse as having). Don't believe me? Check it out here: http://www.heardworld.com/higgaion/?p=360Why is this detail significant? Because they claim that this stela is depicting the parting of the Red (or Reed) Sea, and those "Roman horses" are being engulfed in waves. But they are obviously lions, and not horses.On the wider issue, ask yourself this: What reason could a documentary EVER have to change a clear detail on a mural when doing a "reconstruction"? In this case, to create evidence for wild claims that have no support otherwise. This is a cold, hard example of a bold LIE by this documentary. Look into this for yourself (at the site above, or a simple google search) and see that the lies of Exodus Decoded are painfully obvious once you have the other side of the story. I am ashamed for everyone involved, especially James Cameron.

Although the reconstruction is clever, it ultimately depends on a number of mistakes (or intentional distortions). The filmmaker wants to attach all of the following to a single event: the biblical exodus from Egypt (normally dated by biblical scholars to either c. 1440 BCE or c. 1270 BCE), the meteorological catastrophe described in Ahmose's Tempest Stela (c. 1550 BCE, the first year of Ahmose's reign by the standard chronology), the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt (c. 1546 at the earliest or c. 1520 at the latest), the conditions described in the "Admonitions of Ipuwer" (c. 1700 BCE at the latest, possibly much earlier), and the eruption of Santorini/Thera (dated c. 1627 BCE by radiocarbon dating). The dates alone just don't work. On top of that, the texts and artifacts presented are often misinterpreted, and geophysical data related to the Santorini volcano--a linchpin of the entire program--is simply ignored. The house of cards falls down on inspection of the details.
