In a unique collaboration with top archaeologists at new excavation sites in the Nile Delta, experts in the history of religion, and natural scientists investigating today’s ecological catastrophes, this series provides answers to some of the most intriguing questions of world history: did the Ten Plagues really happen? Were the Hebrews ever slaves in Egypt? Was there ever an Exodus? The film re-creates the Plagues themselves with state-of the-art CGI, the latest research of scientists, who at last understand what made these disasters occur.
Episode 1: Duel on the Nile
In the first episode of the three-part series, The Biblical Plagues, scholars deal with the first six natural disasters. In the Nile, scientists discovered deadly microorganisms that caused the fish to die and a stress situation among the frog population. They also found conclusive explanations for the enormous swarms of insects, the disease rampant among the livestock, and the dangerous boils afflicting all life forms.
Archeologists Dr. Edgar Pusch and Professor Manfred Bietak, renowned experts in their field, go one step further with their thesis: an ecological disaster, as documented in Exodus, turned Pi-Ramesses, the flourishing center of power for Pharaoh Ramesses II, into a ghost town. A sustained drought period led to the collapse of the legendary metropolis on the Pelusiac Branch of the Nile, forcing its population to search for a new home.
The documentary, “Duel on the Nile,” presents the spectacular results of the most recent scientific investigations and provides answers to one of the greatest mysteries of the Biblical world.
