      In the "Go Down Moses" segment, there is a sing-along segment with a bouncing ball to follow the words shown onscreen. The words have been written out in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. The characters do, in fact, spell out the words of the song phonetically in English.

    Excellently researched, wonderfully produced, every child 6 to 60 should see it :D
    What an excellent production about the human condition, considering this only a fruit of work of ONE person.

    This is a great commentary on tradition, rooted in profound research of the said traditions and lovingly-crafty method of production.

    Comparable to the "JUNK HEAD" except the latter is about Modernity, while this is about Tradition.

    10/10. More should be made, but it's something up to every culture to make a movie like that about ... themselves!
