Awesome! thanks for the clarification, Regarding clear cut vs untrue I use similar concepts in assessing data for reliability (e.g. can or can't we use this) or determining when something is truly messed up in audit. Yes there maybe some issues in the data but we have to determine how 'usable' and if it is usable how much can we rely on it. Also if I remember my one time of actually reading the bible the whole way through Exodus contains more than what was covered in the prince of Egypt. Also bought and watched it with my girlfriend recently. The singing is as fantastic as the story telling and art styles. Didn't think I'd like it much when it was first advertised back in 1998.... ahh 1998 back when we were still hyped for the Star Wars Prequels.
Regarding Prince of Egypt, by accurate you mean accurate to the biblical source material right? Because I could have sworn I have seen a video that of Blue's that said that the Exodus probably never happened because the mass migration of a population that size would have been recorded by the Egyptians. Also if you're ever short of source material feel free to rip into movies for inaccuracies to their book source material. Like the Hobbit Cartoon of my youth which depicted Golum as a fish monster and made the wood elves pretty god damn monstrous while speaking with German accents.
Red meant accurate to the biblical source material. The historicity of the Bible is a big and interesting topic, and in my ancient Egypt video I meant to show how that history isn't so clear cut – numbers get exaggerated, years get mixed around, and so on. My argument wasn't quite to say that there was no Exodus, because we can't prove a negative so easily, but rather that the version of Exodus as described in the Bible isn't supported by much evidence. Bottom line is Prince of Egypt is great *and* biblically accurate, which is nice given how often Bible stories get completely bastardized. -B
JEW are my favorite! Bahahahahaha
