I plan to look into the other nonsense this movie spouts as time allows.

The religion stuff seemed fairly convincing. But the ending of the thing saying that the money changers are in control and they are going to imprison us with the mark of the beast....WTF?

Sounds like some great creative writing. I'm sure Tom Harpur did a lot of research on his book "Pagan Christ", but people who have based their lives on the study of Egypt and it's culture (egyptologists) have another take, which seems more credible based on their credentials:
"Reactions of Egyptologists:
Ward Gasque, a volunteer book reviewer for Amazon.com surveyed twenty contemporary Egyptologists. He asked them about the origins of Jesus' name, the relationship between Horus and Jesus, whether both experienced a virgin birth, and whether the Egyptian religion considered Hourus to be an incarnation of God.
Ten responded, They agreed:
Jesus' name is a Greek form of a very common Semitic name Jeshu'a, which is normally translated into English as Joshua.
There is no evidence that Horus was born of a virgin, that he had twelve disciples, or that he was considered incarnation of God."

i liked the sequencing, but the data is misinformed and full of fallacies.

I watched it and it's entertaining and well-made for a low-budget documentary, but...for a film that's supposed to be debunking government myths, it's ironic that this film is as textbook an example as exists of how to create effective propaganda. Cherry pick as many random factoids you can find that support your hypothesis while conveniently ignoring evidence to the contrary, add moving images and some ominous sounding music, and there you go.

really thought provoking and at the same time inspiring in the thought that we might , one day, rise above the madness of this world.
