Is the Bible 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 Timothy Mahoney searches for answers to these questions among startling new finds that may change traditional views of history and the Bible.
For a half-century archaeologists and historians have said there is no conclusive evidence that support the story of Exodus. Their view is that the archaeological record is contrary to the account in the Bible and this skepticism has spread from academia to the entire world. Even some religious leaders have acquiesced and now say the Bible’s story of the Exodus is probably historical fiction.
Timothy Mahoney takes on the question of whether the Bible is just myth, or the archaeologists got it wrong. Mahoney uses the scientific approach to examining the details in the Biblical text and journeys around the world to search for firsthand patterns of evidence. His film provides the most in-depth treatment of the archaeological evidence of the Exodus from Egypt captured on film.
