Information
The Egyptian Book of the Dead
It's a story that spans 4,000 years, older than the Bible...and it's all true. It was lost for
thousands of years, discovered a century ago, and its true meaning recently resurrected by the
miracle of computer graphics! The reason the Egyptians built the pyramids, it's the first written
description of any religion--and is the likely source of the 10 Commandments! In this feature-length
special we follow the ancient scroll from creation around 1800 BC near the site of the Egyptian city
of Thebes, to rediscovery (and theft!) in 1887 AD. Join us in a tale that spans from the age of
papyrus to the age of silicon...and beyond. Biblical scholars agree that portions of the Old
Testament are direct descendants of the Egyptian text, and some archaeologists argue that Moses must
have read and carried a copy of it with him when he fled Egypt! And now, a new generation is
reexamining the ancient text for wisdom that can still affect our inner lives!

• This programme brings history to life with its engaging mix of documentary and recreation.

I was reading this going, 'oh this sounds like it might be interesting.'
Until I read "Moses must have read and carried a copy of it with him when he fled Egypt."
Considering the fact the Exodus and Moses is fiction, it really makes this lose all credibility.
