The Biblical Plagues: Season 1

In the first episode scholars and scientists deal with six disasters that comprised some of the 10 Biblical plagues. Scientists discover deadly microorganisms that cause fish to die and a stress situation among the frog population. Were the plagues due to huge changes in the ecology of the Nile?

In 2003, a unique find gave new impetus to the investigation into the causes of the Biblical Plagues. Can the plagues be linked to the eruption of a huge volcano and the subsequent disruption of weather and atmospheric conditions?

With a graphic account of the tenth and worst punishment, the chain of Plagues in the Book of Exodus comes to an end. Scientists, archeologists and historians look at contemporary evidence to find some explanations for the final plague and any record of the migration from Egypt of the freed people.
