I think if you take the bible as a accurate historical text you'll be left wanting. The bible is the recording of oral history (not euphemism) of an ancient people and tbh not taken literally by most mainline denominations.

How do we know how white Noah was ? But at least they had cute gay angels.

And Egypt? Never happened. But...it's history.

Best summary of Genesis and Exodus ever :tup:
Although it may look like a forum, this site is actually a crowd-sourced science project modelling the slow but inexorable heat death of the universe.

I'm very surprised at this series being aired on History. I thought they tried to maintain some objectivity in their programming. :?

Also the show sucks - just fucking boring.

They're getting paid to put it on.

Reinforcing one's personal mythology, that's the mission, not factual history.
