Should be a good series Neal, I'm just hoping they don't try to spice it up with the sort of adult material they used in series such as Spartacus.

I don't think that is likely, since virtually everyone involved seems to be a devout Christian.

My worry is the limited time they have to tell all those stories.

Hadn't heard of this. I tend not to pay much attention to the history channel.

Set the DVR.

I saw just a tad of it tonight. Recorded it for later playback.
One thing that hit me right off was that "their" Moses looked about half the age of the Moses of the Bible. Moses was 80 when he went back to Egypt, this guy is not even close to that. Oh well, Hollywood.

I watched about an hour, but ended up turning it off. They skipped over too much stuff for my liking.

I watched Vikings too. Not sure if I'm going to stick with it either. It looks like just a straight up drama program that happens to be set in Viking times.

Moses is recorded to have died at 120. At 80, he was 2/3 of the way through his life. With men dying in their 70's now - a 40-50 yr old Moses would be about right....
