First, the 9/11 shit is just nutjob stuff so I'll skip over it.

The religous stuff was interesting, but they screwed up a lot of facts. The Horus/Set story is bullshit and had nothing to do with the Sun rising and setting. There were also a few other religous leaders that they stated had similar characteristics to Jesus but are simply not true. The documentary also plays on a lot of words such as the M in Mary which simply wouldn't have meant the same thing in ancient times. Still, it's interesting to hear about the astrology. It isn't news that Christianity was built heavily on Pagan traditions.

But the part about Jesus being fake is really a theory that has been disputed by almost all historians. While most agree that the stories of walking on water and stuff are sheer bullshit, almost every scholar believes he existed and had a following.

The 1st part is an interesting documentary and brings up some real points. But it also has so much misinformation that it's hard to take it as credible. If they had put more research behind it, it could have been a fantastic piece.
