#3 Ancient Egypt - Moses the first revolutionary
Manage episode 518176118 series 3673472
He was a prince, an outlaw, a prophet. Or was he? He stood before the most powerful ruler on Earth and delivered a single, thunderous demand: "Let my people go!"
Long before Spartacus, Moses led a slave revolt that children still learn about today, and it is a foundational story for the Jewish faith and the State of Israel.
Was Moses more than a biblical hero? Was he, in fact, one of the world's first revolutionaries? A master of political subversion who reshaped the ancient world?
We’re going to look past the Charlton Heston epic, past the parting of the Red Sea, and into the heart of a burning question: How much of this story is a divine miracle, and how much is a revolutionary's blueprint that has inspired others to this day?
Joining us in the Putschcast interrogation room is Garry Stevens, a Bible buff and host of the podcast "History in the Bible", who has dedicated more than a decade of his life to trying to discern what is truth and what is fiction.
