Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The Exodus Decoded is a powerful feature-length documentary on a subject that has fascinated humankind for centuries--the Exodus. The visual language of the special breaks new ground for a documentary as it takes the viewer into a 'Matrix-like' journey--a unique digital organic experience--to investigate the Biblical story of the Exodus. Executive Produced by James Cameron (who appears on camera) and Simcha Jacobovici (who also hosts) the viewer follows Jacobovici to Egypt Greece and Israel on an investigative archaeological journey that pieces together a puzzle of tantalizing clues. Probing questions of established archaeologists reveal mistakes and misunderstandings that drove many to conclusions that Jacobovici unravels before our very eyes.System Requirements:Run Time: 92 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.

Complex yet utterly compelling, The Exodus Decoded is presented by movie director James Cameron (Titanic) but is the passion of Jewish-Canadian filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici. Jacobovici has extensively researched evidence that the Biblical account of the Exodus was real, and concludes that it actually took place in 1500 BCE (during the reign of pharaoh Ahmos I), historically known as the Hyksos Expulsion. The Hyksos people were a Semitic race about whom little is known. But their departure from Egypt, following a long enslavement, along with early writings and other physical evidence, make a strong case that they are the Hebrews of lore. Jacobovici suggests the Exodus is also connected to the catastrophic eruption of the Santorini volcano, which ended the Minoan civilization and triggered a limnic eruption (a surge of carbon dioxide) in the Nile river delta. The latter would have killed the river's fish but likely chased out all the frogs, a phenomenon that could have been considered one of the famous plagues in the Exodus story. (Jacobovici makes a case for the other so-called plagues also being a consequence of the eruption.) Whatever one's opinion of The Exodus Decoded as a historical documentary, it is engrossing viewing, shot in some truly exotic locations, often under the highly suspicious eye of Egyptian authorities. Several moments--such as the revelation of a Hyksos slave's rock carving, pleading with God to be rescued--are astonishing. --Tom Keogh
