Holy jumpin’ Jeebus! The Egyptians were all Quickie-Mart employees who used wooly mammoths to build the pyramids? Who’da thunk it? Like my pal said, “This is the part where the Air Force guys come out of the Stargate.”
But – as is becoming the pretty standard excuse for sub-par filmmaking – it was pretty.
And I had a thought: I’m a historian. I like to think there’s precious little we can’t uncover and know something about. But holy hell! We have pretty respectable history going back 250 years and some spotty history going back another couple of millenia and then . . . what? There were a lot of years of human existence between the emergence of homo sapiens and Abraham. Let alone the period from Abraham to George Washington. What the hell happened back then?
I hate having gaps in my knowledge. To discover I am only partly omnipotent is a real blow to my already fragile ego. This will have to be remedied.
