I watched the trailer. Anybody else have a problem following its logic? Just seemed jerky and disjointed. I would like to see the full version though.
It looks kind of interesting. I may go see it.
My main complaint would be found in the treatment of Ipuwer's Lament - Having read it previously, I felt it was glossed and gussied up to provide an evidence that IMHO is barely there (as it has before)... Were it not for the 'river turning to blood' reference, I doubt anyone would readily tie this work to the Exodus... Not that it couldn't be exactly that, but it is a rather generic lament which could fit many different events. Can I 'read in' the plagues and exodus followed by the invasion of the Hyksos? I guess so... But mostly because that is what I want it to say... And in this, I found the dissenting view was made to look strident and self-serving, when really it was the more objective view. JMO.
I also wish I had not stayed for the commentary after the show - It felt rather plastic and strained... pimping amazement that wasn't really there. This is hardly a new argument, and the panel kinda made much ado about nothing.
That all being said, I am glad to see the expanded archaeological results coming out of Goshen. And I am made curious about the pyramid tomb - I will investigate that, which will be a pleasant aside... A pretty good show as documentaries go. Would I spend the twenty bucks again? No.
