Experiencing Interruptions?

EXMYSTIKA: The first temple of Solomon

Set against the backdrop of the little-explored Third Intermediate Period, this documentary uncovers a forgotten chapter of ancient history. Contrary to popular belief, the Exodus did not occur under Ramses the Second, but during a time of internal power struggles in Egypt. A lost secret triggers the departure of the Jews, and a new interpretation of the “Sea of Reeds” reveals where the Pharaoh met his fate.

Groundbreaking geological findings redraw the escape route and point to a second Canaan far from the Levant. Solomon’s First Temple, it turns out, stood not in today’s Jerusalem, and its master builder, Akif Hiram, was no Phoenician. His name hints at an entirely different cultural origin.

A stunning architectural discovery – long misunderstood as a cult site – comes to life through a 3D model, revealing the Temple’s true function. Babylonian conquest left behind ruins that later scholars misattributed, distorting history for centuries.

Historian Pierre Dietz presents a bold new vision of the Exodus and the location of Solomon’s First Temple – a film that challenges historical dogma and reshapes our understanding of biblical events.
