Dude, I bet over half of the guys that agree with this documentary probably also saw Zeitgeist, but didn't even know it was entirely fabricated and already got refuted. There's a bunch of these types of "documentaries" with catchy background music, monotone voice, and pictures that say God doesn't exist. Try saying that to the dude that got healed of cancer without treatment, or an AIDS effected baby in Africa with no hope who gets healed. God exists. You must repent and then believe.

"Dude, I bet over half of the guys that agree with this documentary probably also saw Zeitgeist, but didn't even know it was entirely fabricated and already got refuted."

Yep Zeitgeist is trash. The difference is that this one is based on facts. I recommend watching a 3-part few documentary called "The Bible Unearthed" by Dr Francesca Stavrakopoulout if you are interested. /watch?v=UooaogbjDcg

monotone voice proceeding with a very factual cadence.

slightly threatening background music adding to the drama.

This are very serious.

I'm all into it

then 5:30 comes

"...depicts ancient Egyptians as the ultimate assholes..."

I burst into laughter. Good show internet.

@nolobrown Just curious...why do you write that as a Christain you can not agree with everything in this video? The video presents just basic historical facts that are not in dispute, so how can you not agree with facts? Isn't that saying you discount historical records in general? I'm just currious becasue I can not counter any of the facts putforth in this presentation becasue it is all verifyable and it the consensu view of all educated folks. Your thoughts?

@israfael12 oh history channel, same thing

[Uenbg]

@israfael12 just wasted 50 minutes because of your comment, please see my comments there and see if it is sufficient reason not to suggest that documentary to people anymore. I sure wish I hadn't read it. People claiming to prove events in the bible and get things horrible wrong or inaccurate are only evidence for Satan's existence and I prefer not to have to spent a whole 50 minutes to recognize it :(

OK, my own fault, it's discovery channel, I knew, just wanted to give it a chance

@bdwilson1000 These documentaries are just a hidden homage to the mystery religion.

[diablossmirk]

@MrToiletface amen to that.

@israfael12 *Cough cough*bullshit*cough*

@israfael12 Someone's swapped the 'o' key with the '-' key on your keyboard
