Wow! Amadeuz Christ is a brilliant director. He has put together a wonderful cast and story chock full of information to empower us. Props to the Elders and Scholars who participated. This is a must see documentary!

Must see for Anyone and Everyone!

This documentary was superb. I am on my 3rd watch and deeply moved to continue my journey of this knowledge. It's freeing if that makes sense, I feel liberated just by watching and listening. I was raised by hardcore catholics and christians, it was all I knew but as a child I always felt like something wasnt right or was missing. I have found those missing pieces on my journey in this wisdom depicted in this documentary. The biggest thing that hit me was the 42 laws of Maat in regards to the 10 commandments. I liked the 1st film Out of Darkness but you can just tell Amadeuz is gettint better every time. This one was way better, can you imagine the future docs to come from these group of wise men? Wow just wow, I cannot wait for more of these! Bring it on Amadeuz!!

Lacks credibility and heavily biased

As a fellow African (Nigerian), i do appreciate the effort put into educating people about the history of religion and mythology in African space. However, while watching the documentary, I felt the data used in it was far from credible. Lack of actual historians, antropologists, and archaeologists who would have been best suited for giving commentaries on a topic such as this was absent; instead, we heard for a majority from pan-Africanist authors (unspecified on what they authored). Who only mostly commented on the relevance of Africa as a contributor to present-day religion and mythology (which I am not denying, we have), which I think they spent the entire of the 1 hour plus documentary doing, but it lacks credible data and mostly focuses on the opinion and thoughts of the people who agreed to participate in this documentary, which makes the documentary heavily biased and opinionated, and it was hard for me to take it seriously. The audio editing with the echos after every sentence was getting annoying at some point, and the scenes I felt transitioned quite quickly. Again, I appreciate the work and effort put into educating people about the relevance and contribution Africa as a continent has made, but I can't help the fact that most of what they covered was about eygyptology and just a sprinkle of West African contributions and other African countries mythologies, which is fine, but the documentary came across as very generalised for all African countries when 90% of the images, videos, and references are related to eygypt and their myths and religions.
