“Ancient Secrets of the Bible Vol. 1” features Episodes 1-13 and is a fantastic and interesting look behind the scenes of famous Bible stories. Some of the various experts in the film think stories such as the crossing of the Red Sea are too fantastic to have happened, but others support the biblical stories and give scientific reasons as to why the events could have occurred. Ultimately, the answer comes down to one’s faith and belief.
The first five episodes are on disc one and feature the “Ark of the Covenant,” “David and Goliath,” “The Fiery Furnace,” “Moses and the Red Sea,” and “The 10 Commandments.” Dr. Michael Chandler, an astro-theology lecturer, states the Ark is fictional, much like the story of Indiana Jones. But Dr. Grant Jeffery, an author, says there is ample archaeological and historical proof that the events of the Ark occurred. The same is true for the David and Goliath story and the three Hebrews in the fiery furnace, as well as Moses and the Red Sea and the giving of the Ten Commandments. Artistic renderings and reenactments bring the stories to life.Disc two includes “Noah’s Ark: Fact or Fable,” “Noah’s Ark: Worldwide Flood,” “Noah’s Ark: What Happened,” and “Samson.” Disc three features “Adam and Eve,” “Ancient Man,” “The Rapture,” and “Bible Code.”
