I have no interest in religion however.
By concur, I mean there are certain religious 'facts' stated in the film which are very difficult to prove.
The last two 'sections' are the most important.
Please enlighten me as to which parts are 'ill-informed'.

or 'sun of the god' being etymologically related to 'son of god'... that's uh... that's an English thing, doesn't work in other languages, sorry to break it to you, but other languages are different.
I take all such videos with a pinch of salt, I take everything with a pinch of salt, my blood pressure is through the roof.
But if people discard religion and then go and base their beliefs on a youtube video, uh... watch out for them. Remember, be wary of everything, even, nay, especially your nan.

but laziness is stronger!
I've seen big chunks of it before, very interesting, but I have an innate distrust of preachy people.

and disagree with a lot more.
I don't believe it's all the same religion, or whatever, I do, however, believe that almost all religions stem from some ancient society that was astrological. Abraham (Avram/Abram) and Brahma, for example, as well as Sara and Sarasvati. I believe that maybe Abraham was a Brahman priest, or that they come from the same ancient root.
That's why all the near-East mythology is the same, out of Africa, had a religion or theory, then it evolved over time as they started to develop more and more distinct cultures... I mean, it's possible.
Also possible that these people were people, and then it just changed. Imagine if there were a nuclear holocaust, the majority died, and pockets of civilisation survived.
/links nana, the guy who ended up leader and rekindled cultivation of crops, etc. becomes inx-nan the great king of an ancient civilisation; who took them from the darkened times into a new civilisation.
After all, at the time that the Bible hints these great events as happening the Hebrews may well have been the same people as the Persians, or... whoever, the bible even suggests it. Increase the calender by scale factor ten or some such, 5000 to 50000 and you end up with Noah's flood happening around 30 or so thousand years ago, give or take 10 thousand years, and maybe it was such thing as a river bursting its banks pretty harshly and destroying a settlement. Settlement becomes city, becomes state, becomes country, becomes World.
As time went on one civilisation with its history became many nations with similar stories, which they also shared with each other, and ended up with the cultural entities that we have now.
