Redundantly BAD.......2006-12-11

So Bad... Bad science, bad video and waste of money. The same meaningless information over and over. How could they make this big a mess? Wish I had read the other reviews before I paid the twenty bucks. Not even decent filming.... pushed a very weak point way beyond the wall. What that other guy was doing in the film - don't know.. perhaps looking for work and still is.

Wrong Assumption - Purposely Misleading Narrative.......2006-07-01

One has to rate this work with the worst possible ranking, because its main claim that the Exodus didn't happen as tradition states is supported without a foundation. Honest reporting and scientific research should reveal ALL the facts to the audience.

However, full disclosure was not done and I feel this was done on purpose. The viewer is not made aware that nowhere in the story of Exodus, Torah, or any Jewish text does it say that Ramses was the Pharaoh of the Exodus. In fact, the story of the Exodus only mentions Ramses as a location!

Plus, Jewish texts put the Exodus at a much earlier time period in Egyptian history and this is backed up by Archaeological evidence.

If anything, this documentary proves Ramses wasn't the Pharaoh of the Exodus, which supports the Torah timeline.

The fundamental premise is wrong. One would hope that if an "expert" is going to attempt to debunk a text that "expert" should at least be somewhat familiar with it.

I've recently attended a lecture given by archaeological researcher, James D. Long. James is a dynamic speaker and his book, "Riddle Of The Exodus" is even more fascinating. "Scientific method" and sound reasoning are utilized to prove when the Exodus really happened and that the Torah, as well as other ancient Jewish texts provide an accurate account of history. James takes archaeologists in what's known as the "minimalist" camp to task for their lack of biblical knowledge and their frequent attempts to withhold information in attempts to bolster their theories, or help spin their political views.

Junk Science with an Agenda.......2006-06-24

I find that many of the videos claiming to be "documentaries" have an agenda. Sadly, many people see them as factual. Teachers need to be extremely careful when they select films for their students.

Straw man.......2006-06-19

Kent Weeks, rediscoverer of KV5, found three partial human remains in a pit in that tomb. He speculates that one of these (one in particular) is the remains of Amonherkhopshef (Amonherwenemef), firstborn son of Ramses II. Like a lot of people, Weeks saddles on to the mistaken claim that Ramses II "the Great" was the pharaoh of the Exodus. The rest of the video then treats both identifications as factual, then uses those straw men arguments to prove that the Exodus didn't happen.

For example, the skull is that of a grown man, not a child, so despite the fact that no one will ever know the identity of the remains, the words in the narration are, "the Biblical tradition must be wrong." This is unforgivably shoddy, silly, and stupid.

Even more grandiose are the video's claims to show that none of the details of the Exodus, from the identity and age of Moses, through the Plagues, the fountainhead of monotheism, the nature of the escape, all the way through the actual cause of death of the pharaoh, are false.

Since 18th dynasty Hatshepsut's bas relief of her voyage to Punt names the port official who greeted her there, and it matches that of a Solomonic-era port official in charge at Ezion Geber, and since the Amarna archive of the 18th dynasty contains names right out of the Old Testament from the time of the early monarchy of the House of David, Akhenaten must have lived centuries after Moses, and could not have been the source of Moses' monotheism.

And more obviously, the 19th dynasty was not the time of the Exodus.

The video is well put together otherwise. Morgan Freeman's narration is pretty cool. I give the product a mere two stars because the script and the premise isn't worth a you know what. If this is what it takes to keep Kent Weeks excavating KV5 for the rest of his life, close the excavation right now.

Good forensic analyses about a fake historical story !.......2006-05-28

This movie(can NOT be categorized as a documentary movie!) is based on an assumption that Moses killed Ramses II's son. Interestingly the archeologists found a skull of a murdered that is, more likely, closely related to that of RamesesII as indicated by x-ray analysis. The skull for that murdered person for unknown reason had been suppected to be for the son of Rameses II_the only clear reason for such claim was the location of the skull discovery! Based on the bible, the investigators/archealogists started to investigate wheather the son of Ramses(the discovered skull) had been killed by God or Moses..The narrators mentioned that, based on the bible, the older son of Ramses II had been killed by God and this explains why Rameses II left the jews leave Egypt!!!!!!! Then, the movie postulated a lot of additonal scenarios for how this person had been killed! The most acceptable one was that Moeses was in charge of killing the older RamsesII's son. Moreover, the movie makers assumed that there were two phoarohs survived the Exodus; the first one (erronously, based on the movie, was Ramses II) who brought Moses up and the second pharaoh,the murdered person(presumably is the son of Ramses II!). This was really so amayzing!!!! But, what are the proofs for such claims?!!!! Besides, the movie showed moses as if he were a follower of Akhenaten!!! Anyway, I found the forensic analyses were so good, but the whole story of the son of Ramses II was really a supersition!. Highly recommended for people interested in forensic medicine; Not for those interested in real aracheological findings!

Product Description

Join a team of international scientists and forensic archaeologists led by famed Egyptology professor Kent Weeks as they try to unravel the mystery that links Pharaoh Rameses the Great, a skull found in the largest tomb ever unearthed in Egypt and the most pivotal moment of the Bible's Old Testament. Rameses II was the self-styled greatest of all the Pharaohs, a man who ruled longer, built more monuments to his victories and controlled an empire larger than any other Egyptian king to follow. A consummate "myth-maker," Rameses left a legacy both astounding and confounding. But does that legacy include driving the Jews out of Egypt, as many Jewish, Christian and Muslim scholars believe? In tomb KV5 in Egypt's Valley of the Kings, witness the excavation of four skulls believed to be those of Rameses elder sons. Using the latest forensic science, Prof. Weeks hopes to identify one of the skulls as Amun-her-khepeshef firstborn son of Rameses and the man the Bible says was struck down by God. Further evidence leads to another startling Biblical connection: Rameses may indeed be the father of Moses, who rejected his father's will and delivered thousands of slaves from bondage. Watch as the latest advances in forensic anthropology, CG recreations of the Pharaoh's royal court and dramatized sequences of pivotal moments in his life reveal compelling evidence of Rameses the Great's likely role in an event that is at the very cornerstone of the three monotheistic faiths.
