These plagues were also used to disprove a different god of Egypt's society:
1. Nile to blood: Hapi, the God of the annual flooding
2. frogs: Heket, Goddess of fertility, water, renewal (had the head of a frog)
3. lice: Geb, the god of the Earth
4. flies: Khepri: God of creation, movement of the Sun and rebirth (had the head of a fly)
5. livestock: Hathor, Goddess of love and protection (had the head of a cow)
6. boils: Isis, God of medicine and peace
7. hail: Nut, Goddess of the sky
8. locust: Seth, God of storms and disorder
9. darkness: Ra, God of the sun
10. first born: Pharaoh, the ultimate power of Egypt
"If you're telling me that your gods are real and mine is fake, but my God controls these things, who actually is in power?"
the other gods are gods of stone they take a stone and call it god
the God christans have is the one who made the heavens and the earth
Well I am Muslim so I disagree I respect ur religion but there is only 1 God and idol worshipping is very Haram
We see this same principle being played out in 1 Kings 18 where Elijah is doing battle against the prophets of Baal, Elijah exposed the false gods for what they were (frauds) and showed the people who the true God is.
@@mrbeastvzmrcheap So stop worshipping idols. Also don't use words only you know (e.g. haram).
I’m a Christian, but personally I *LOVE* the scientific explanation of these! It’s very cool to know!
yea me too

I am a Christian and the explanations you have given mostly seem to be scientifically feasible except 9 10 and the parting of the red sea are only explainable as miracles of God and thank you for being respectful of our beliefs and not totally disregarding these miracles

IKR lol
Very nice video and explanations !
I saw a documentary on this as well. Another theory for the death of the first born children was that after all the previous plagues, the food was scarce and they had to pick from old stored food (stored multiple years or months ago).But this food was contaminated by a bacteria. Since the first born were the ones to which the more food was given, they reached higher levels of toxicity and died from a disease caused by the bacteria.
I love it . But how in one night?
@@adambrodman6229
If I remember well, the disease seemed to be a really fast one, so they all died after a few days, around the same time.
Or the one night thing might be an exaggeration or a metaphor to mean it happened really quickly.
Jesus Christ almighty loves you no matter what
@@askgodalmightyfortheholysp4797 he's dead
@@adambrodman6229 He died but rose again. If u want to argue, pls do ur research
A very important information, does not only concern the last plague: All plagues were directed against the 10 most important Egyptian gods, starting with the Nile god, called Hapi, and ending with the mockery of the sun god Ra and as you mentioned, the 'Divine Pharaoh'
Good point. GOD wanted to put all of Egypt's false GOD'S to shame. So he did
Never a plague against Osiris which is arguably the most important Egyptian god
@@armaggon5920but ur god is real like there’s more evidence against your god than your god ever existing
@JaMorantfan12-gr3sz Your somment is worded a little oddly. No offense.
And he is not just my GOD. He is the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, Moses, Peter, Paul, and many, many others. He is the eternal GOD of the universe. He created the Heavens and the Earth. And everything in between.
@@armaggon5920 ur comment proved nothing of what you believe no offense
As an average person who just goes about their day and occasionally watching good videos like this: Scientific explanations like this about biblical events along with depictions in the bible always fascinate me in their perplexing similarity and simultaneous contrast from each other. All these things could, and have, happen naturally, yet at the same time such an apocalyptic event just FEELS like something more was going on. It could go either way. I just love how religious tales and actual science can coexist. "Was it god?" Maybe! "Was it simply a natural event" Definitely! But what I adore is the possibility that it could have been BOTH. Everyone always says God works in mysterious ways, whether referring to his methods, his actions, or the motives behind them. It ain't always to see what he's trying to do, or even what he's doing at all! Perhaps someone who created a world like ours wouldn't need to do much to defend its people. Someone like him would probably already know so much about it's ins and outs that when faced with smiting an entire nation to free an enslaved people of worshippers he may not even need to bring down his godly powers. All he'll need to do is feed the algae!
That's pretty based
You’d be surprised how much scientific validity the bible has. Even the Big Bang theory was originally coined and theorised by a Roman Catholic priest but was mocked by scientists for decades until they accepted it as potential fact and just swept him under the rug.
God does have a tendency of operating using natural processes.

I recommend watching The Prince of Egypt or Moises and The 10 Commandments the show, they do the story justice and there amazing to watch
Wallet is a pretty good movie thank you insane amount of stuff wrong a lot of which you could only really know if you talk to a Orthodox Jew who all study this thoroughly
Even if you are not a Christian, the animation and voice acting was amazing.
@@Vandelberger The music too.
Which year did the show come out?
...no they don't do the story justice at all actually..changed very major things actually

your forgetting the fire tornado
Highly recommend the animated movie The Prince of Egypt. I'm not even religious, but it's one of my *favorite* movies
I never been more glad to have been born in modern times than when I learned about the 10th plague of Egypt. I'm the first born of my mother's family. While I'm not sure if my older half siblings on my father's side would've made a difference the fact that I come so uncomfortably close to the requirements is scary enough.
It was the first born son of every household.
I’m a 4th generation first-born daughter (on my mom’s side of the family) and I just recently watched “The Prince of Egypt” and “The Ten Commandments” and read The Exodus for the first time ever (been a Christian for only a year and a half now so I got quite a bit of catching up to do, which isn’t easy when you live in an overly busy house LOL) and a ginormous chill went down my spine just imagining if I was living in those times. And BOTH of my parents are first-born as well! (Shudders)
Yeah so me in my late 50's is still a valid target as I'm still firstborn. Doesn't change if I have children.
@@ThatGuy-mu2rr God was sexist
Let’s be honest I am sure your parents would have figured it out when moses turned his staff into a snake
I very strongly believe that these events happened hand-in-hand. I believe that things that don’t have an explanation, the Lord has the answer. He gave us many gifts of discovery, including the science behind how things work.
true.
the explanation about the death of the first born son couldn't be any more wrong. if they died because of exposure to pests while working in the fields, then why did the prince died too if he wasn't working in the fields.
Well they did provide the reason for the prince part, though not as convincing as the other parts since they also said that thus is the only cause that is explicitly supernatural as described.
U can only do so much with only limited details within the bibles to lead on anyway.
It also doesn't make sense that only the firstborn died specifically. Like, they must have had other sons.
@@storytellingwithesther2520 firstborns in Egypt at the time were expected to perform most of the house labor and would be the most exposed compared to the other children who weren't expected much of since they weren't as important as the firstborn
@@simpleviewer1334 It's still weird.
@@storytellingwithesther2520 one show I watched said that the first born child gets to eat first. they probably ate the same contaminated foodbfrom the crops.
or maybe only the first born prince was the only one who died. and since the people associated themselves with their rulers, they think as if they too had a son died.
So, the first born plague. I've always wondered if that extended through all generations. Did great grandpa die too because he was the first born of his family? Dads? Or, just those not yet adults?
Yes all firstborn died
The pharaoh would have died also if it was like that.
@@Stellarpidge Did you not watch the ten Commandments bro? Apparently Seti's first son died cuz of a fever, don't say things if you don't know
@@zclaudteoriasdbs7964 I saw that movie, brah, it was 15 commandments but Moses dropped one of the tablets
"and thousands of years later people are still talking about your messed up bread."
Top tier. Love it.
I watched a video trying to prove that Rameses the 3rd was the Pharoah the Bible talk about. He made pretty good sense and his research was spot on.
Does Egypt have that pharaoh mummify if so then it's not the Pharaoh of the Bible because pharaoh and his entire Army including all the mercenaries that went with him die Pharaoh never returned to Egypt after going after Moses he died at the head of his army when the Red Sea came collapsing back in on them.
Here is my theory: Moses and Ra-Moses are the same person or brothers. Let us not forget the brother of Moses - Aaron. Egyptian god Ra or A(a)ron Ra lost his power because of 10 "plagues" ( ecological disasters ) delivered by Jahveh and... the rest is the greatest children telephone game ( Chinese whispers ) ever devised.
I’ve heard that it was Amenhotep II. Here are some reasons they listed.
He had lots of slaves.
He was known for his cruelty, almost as if he had a hardened heart.
His letters to an official in Canaan mention his distrust of foreigners and their ‘magicians’.
His mummy was covered in marks that might have been from a disease, like the plague of boils.
The later part of his reign is completely absent from historical records.
Finally, his descendant Akhenaten tried to completely overhaul Egypt’s religion in favor of monotheism. What could have given him reason for that?
I heard another theory explaining the tenth plague (death of the first born) according to this theory it was common practice for the eldest son to sleep on the floor or lowest to the ground. If the other plague were caused by a volcanic eruption, the toxic gases may have swept through the region during the night. These toxic gasses are heavier than air so if it was a calm night the air would have been much more toxic near ground level where the eldest usually slept. The eldest would be killed and the rest would relatively unscathed. This doesn't really explain why the jews were spared though. Maybe they had different traditions when it came to sleeping arrangements, maybe they were mostly segregated to an area that happened to be at a slightly higher elevation or had some other barrier keeping the low laying gasses out or maybe their homes' architecture was different than the Egyptians in a way that kept them safe.
The parting of the sea and the reclosing of it can also be explained by volcanic activity. volcanic activity can aggravate fault lines and cause built up stresses to be released. A fault line could have buckled causing the seafloor to drop several feet, as the sea floor dropped it would have created a vacuum, pulling immeasurable amounts of seawater(or lake water, whatever the case may be) towards itself and away from where the jews needed to cross, (very) temporarily drying up the crossing. As the seawater fills the void created by the seafloor dropping, because of momentum more water keeps rushing in until the water level above where the seafloor dropped is actually higher than the rest of the sea, this very quickly tries to correct itself and the sudden outflow of water generates a tsunami which would come crashing down on the previously dry passageway like an unstoppable wall of water.
It is really looking like volcanism was the force behind this story. I wonder what the religious ramifications are if it was actually the world under our feet and not the one above our heads that was responsible for freeing the jews from slavery back then.
But why would all the 1st born die in one night?
There's just one tiny little problem with that it was the first born son of everyone in Egypt that would include adults who were the firstborn son of their fathers so technically it could have been a father losing his son and Grandson in the same night or it could have been the father the Son and the grandson in some cases three generations were wiped out in one night because they were the first born sons of their fathers in Egypt
@@adambrodman6229 read again they were sleeping on the floor.and the parents in the bed. and other siblings were, what he didnt write, were sleeping on the roof. its hot there lol. so the gas could be just cm inch high.
zach crawford
was hearing the same but a little diffrent. it happened couple of years ago in afrika. they had an earthquake and the gas that was tapped under the lake came out and killed everyone around. and how u said it, must of been havyer then air. and volcanos bring earthquakes.
But if that’s true where is this volcano in Egypt and Fertile Crescent region that released such fumes?

My the best TH-camr ?
Fun fact: Each Plague was actually a Insult as well as an Attack on 10 of Egypt's own gods !!!
I'm a Christian, and love hearing scientific explanations for things.
My only counter-point to this is that the Jews weren't affected by ANY of the plagues
Some of these can probably be explained by them living on hills further from the Nile, like with the frogs and insects. I can't explain the livestock death, boils, or natural disasters leaving them alone, though.

It looked like night for a few days here.

I believe I heard somewhere that the frog was a sacred animal in ancient Egypt so they couldn’t sweep them away.
I believe they were seen as sacred to Sobek. The god of the Nile.

As a Christian I really enjoyed watching a video with a scientific explanation of the plagues (except for that last one)
The exodus history was fake
Love it!
Maybe it's just me and I know Infographics covers a wide swath of subjects but,
topics have been pretty dark as of late. You guys know something or are you
going thru something?? Still superbly done.
Living here in Las Vegas we had swarms of Mormon Crickets. They are like a 17 year or a 30 years plague! They're growing in size just the body They're 3.5- 4.5 inches. Slightly larger than a large size Bic Lighter!
even if there is a sientific explanation for all of it, what are the chances that it all happens when moses said so?
Elephant in the room
This is so good
I have been a Christian ever since I was seven years old and I've heard about these plagues and read about what happened in the Book of Exodus (second book in the Bible) pretty much ever since I learnt how to read and write. While I still believe that these were all divine interventions from God to rescue the Jewish nation from the Ancient Egyptians, I'm fascinated by the scientific side of things as well and am impressed with what you have tried to explain here. We probably will never know for certain everything that there is to learn about this set of events, but thank you for showing us these things in a different light.
Josephine I was 8 years old when my mom had told me about the land of Israel. That it is the land of the Jews which they to call them the Hebrews or Canaanites or Israelites. That really open my mind to find more and more about my religion. I had been in Catholic school because they were just for girls and they were the best in Egypt for protecting the them from getting mixed with boys. I don t understand why in the world peoples don t get along together and are enemies to each others?
@@EstherMassouda Because humans have a very hard time humbling themselves before God and acknowledge their own sins.
as a jew, this is a big part of our religion:) it’s a well known story of the book of exodus in the torah (not the jewish bible, we don’t use the new testament.) and we even have a whole holiday dedicated to it and our freedom! the holiday is passover and we celebrate over a seder where we read the haggadah to remember the story, and not eat fermented grains for a week!
and yes science can explain all of this, but we believe god did this for us to free his people from egypt. whether it was a coincidence through science or magic, we believe god did it, even through logic!
Exactly. People seem to not realize that God can simply operate through logical activities as he does supernatural ones. It is very likely that the scientific explanations here are the correct ones of what happened, but simply through God who allowed this to happen.
I think one of the reasons God intervened like this is to give an opening for people to say it wasn't him.
I am also Jewish I’m sefardie

At this point, it's a matter of what brand you want to go with rather than who's actually right and real.

It's a good thing something like this don't happen today. I don't want to know how many deaths that would occur if something like the ten plagues occurs today. I might be a smart guy, but even i can't tell what would happen. It's a really good thing something like this don't just happen. I'm glad we only have to deal with two viruses/diseases, a few wars and other hellscapes that occurs today
Read revelations it's gonna happen again but worst .
It never happened in the first place, they’re stories.
@@believeinmatter true. The bible and such books are fairy tales. They're made up for people to believe in, just to make them believe in something they might never have believed in otherwise. I'm an atheist anyway, and the only religion i'm willing to believe in is the Norse stuff, in Odin, Thor, that's what i'm more willing to believe in, but other than that, i'm an atheist
Read revelation a lot has been happening in recent decades and it's very possible revelation end times will come soon but if you don't know what revelation is it's the story of the end of days and what will happen! This will be another period of God exerting his wrath but this time on the whole world and humanity in general! Please inform yourself of this
@Luis while sci fi deals with the future and has been demonstrated that many sci fi concepts have been demonstrated to be possible maybe you shouldn't assume what is possible in this reality based apon the way thing currently sound to you
Im a Jew. This is my favorite story. Walking 60 years without ageing . Opening the sea getting the Torah on mount sinai.
Infographics has always been very respectful of Christianity and I greatly appreciate it! I'm a pastor and I've used and referenced their videos numerous times in the past :)
I know, right?
Pastor I am bit confused I have some atheist friends
Who told me about multiple things in holy books
I was drunk at the time but I only remember
Ezekiel 9 6 11
I asked my friend in morning for clarification
He texts me as
Ezekiel, a strict monotheist, is angry because many of the Jews still worshipped the old gods of Judah. Speaking as if from God, he dreams of everyone being killed-old and young, even little children- except those who can prove by a mark on their foreheads that they do not worship "abominations".
And today on this holy day I am contemplating my beliefs
A few years ago while cruising down the Nile our tour guide told us of some nearby rocks that has ancient drawings and writings about the plagues and disasters. Sure enough, behind some metal fences only a few metres from the Nile a dozen or so boulders have the accounts. This is fact. Look it up on the internet. I was stunned that I never learnt about this site, it should be in my opinion as famous as the pyramids.
3:30, Fun Fact: The Egyptians actually invented escargot to eat alongside their frogs' legs entrees.
I've seen many movies of the Exudos story. My favorite is the animated "Prince of Egypt". The "Ten Commandments", with Charleston Heston is a good watch if you can stay awake for 3 hours, and is the most faithful adaptation of the Biblical Story. I didn't like Ridley Scott's version of "Exudos: Gods and Kings", it totally secularized and downplayed the supernatural elements of the story and made Moses look like a mad men.
Bible is a myth
@@WiLDHaNdZ I think the Bible is true
Prince of Egypt songs are legendary, for this video, "Let my People Go" song followed by the chorus that said "Thus Saith the Lord" can haunt me by God's message.
It's even more touching if anyone watches the Prince of Egypt animation. Especially their songs, "Let my People Go" followed by Thus Saith the Lord.
Nice video
What we have had since 2020:
-Blood river in Russia
-Swam of lotcuats in Africa
-Red skies across China
-Australia on fire for 2 years
-Australia flooded
-Giant virus
Are you sure these things aren’t are Biblical?
Australia on fire for 2 years? As an Australian citizen this is news to me. I guess facts don't matter much though do they to the religious ideologue
Ja
@Luis no one cares
Australia is always on fire and flooding , it is just the way the weather here works , our native plants actually need fire to grow . and it always floods in Queensland. lol
@Luis Stop with the bs of science. They can't even explain everything today that's happening without oh climate change even though some of the events happening aren't related to climate change. Anything that's happened throughout history they want to say is climate change because they can't explain it
I thought that the Plague of Blood was to symbolize the blood of the Hebrew babies Pharaoh killed by throwing them into the river.
Great thought!
He bathed the blood of babys
Timing is everything
I love learning about mythology.
Egypt has been through a lot
yes
God is the greatest scientist of all!
It’s funny that this works side by side with Prince of Egypt’s 10 plagues scene
'And God hardened the Pharaoh's heart'
Meaning he wanted to create choas in Egypt regardless of whatever decision the leaders made.
Thus, Pharaoh had one whole week in which to take breath; the shortest time possible for the practiced eye to discern whether or not the Sun had made any progress in his return from his southern tour. The Lord again egged on the two brothers, and "frogs came up." Pharaoh's "magicians did so with their enchantments" (Ex. 8. 7). The Sun was still in Aquarius, near, or in its first degrees.
As these were a peculiar kind of frogs, being bred in mid-winter, and entering into every apartment of the Egyptians' houses, even into their ovens and kneading troughs, I suspect they may not after all have been an animal production. This legend was probably derived from the Hindu story of Bheki, or the Frog-prince, "which denotes the Sun as it rests upon the water," or just above the horizon, as it always does near the winter solstice, sprawled out as in the act of leaping into the water. Thus, when Moses and Aaron, assisted by Pharaoh, stretched forth their hands, up came Bheki, or the Frog-prince, or the winter Sun, with his hateful progeny, in the form of cold windy weather, which entered into every imaginable nook and corner of the land - into their ovens and kneading troughs. (Cox's Myth., vol. 1, pp. 165-400.)
The way these plagues happened one after another, God did what he told Moses he would do.
Being Muslim and learning about this in the quran was very intersting
Moral of the story, don't mess with nature or spirit beings
After watching The Prince of Egypt, this is what I hear.
🎶I send the swarm, I send the horde, thus saith the Lord!🎶
I'm a Christian and a history major. I know many archeologists and historians dispute the plagues, but it is possible. As a Christian I hold to faith which does not need evidence. My theory is that the plagues were a precursor/cause of the bronze age collapse. The economic and environmental woes of the plagues could have ignited a chain reaction that resulted in the break down of the bronze age empires. The lack of historical record is not an issue. Many ancient texts are lost or destroyed. Plus the Greeks such as Diodorus reference the plagues in his origin of the Jews.
So much to unpack there. But to paraphrase, that makes perfect sense. To me, anyways.
The science is proving that what is written in The Bible is true and actually happened.
You're not a real archeologist
I learnt in yeshiva that when the Red Sea was split, every body of water in the world split as well; even baths and cups
That is the case.
If I recall, the book of Exodus does not mention anything about the livestock being killed by beasts. Only that the livestocks in Egypt died suddenly. I can think of many scientific explanations as to how these livestocks died suddenly but I would like to know is where did you find the source about it being specifically beasts that were the cause?
hey, cool vid as always, but I need to ding you on one little thing (it's the space nerd in me). Solar eclipses never last more than 7-8 min. It's Lunar eclipses that can last hrs. Other than that, terrific.
19:13 I was raised a Christian and I attended University with the goal of becoming a Christian Minister. While I have since turned from faith and question much of that which I was taught, I will offer a defense for the belief. Let's assume that God IS real and everything, including the laws of nature and physics were His creation. If so, it would only make sense for Him to know that performing a specific act would lead to each sequential "plague". Therefore, God only needed to turn the water into "blood" to kickstart the entirety of the ten plagues. Assuming God IS the creator, He alone would have the knowledge (at the time at least) that one thing would lead to another and so on. It only makes sense that He would kickstart a chain reaction. I submit to you that (again, assuming our belief here) the Bible renders things unto the reader from the perspective of the writer. It stands to reason that those in ancient times would not have knowledge of algae and their potential effects on the local ecosystem. Therefore, the descriptions offered - such as turning the River Nile to blood, would've been rendered as the result of the limitation of the knowledge and understanding of the people at the time. I believe, if we assume God is real as aforementioned, it would only make sense that the Almighty who knows EVERYTHING would "dumb down" his actions and explain them in such a way the people of the time would understand.
All that said, if God is real, it only makes sense that He, being in control of Mother Nature, would use a natural chain of reactions. It conserves energy (something God is obviously a proponent of as He rested on the Seventh Day.

Thus saith the Lord
You who I called brother
How could you have come to hate me so?
Is this what you wanted?
I send the swarm, I send the horde
Then let my heart be hardened
And never mind how high the cost may grow
This will still be so
I will never let your people go
Thus saith the Lord
Thus saith the Lord
I will not
Let your (my) people go
The fourth plague was a swarm of horse flies to clarify. Exodus 8:17 in Spanish the word “Tábanos” in the verse of you look up the literal translation to English is Horse Fly.
"According to the Hebrew bible not actual history books"
Very accurate✅
Some people think that the Israelites never went to the Red Sea. The word reed got mistranslated for red so they fled using the reed sea aka some large lake in Egypt (something also the lines of lake Methuselah). The water in this lake also went back likely due to the volcanic eruption as a similar event was noted by some British scientists atuding the lake around 1820
It is awesome to watch infographics show on youtube I like what would happen if you didn't brush you're teeth for 1 week

They actually found pharaoh and his army at the bottom of the red sea a few years ago. When they did an autopsy, the cause of death was... literally only able to be caused by an entire sea crashing down upon them at once, killing them all instantly.

The info about boils and cattle was disturbing that it makes my skin crawl.
Talking about the river turned to blood, The Bible also recorded that all other water sources and containers had their water turned to blood:
And the Lord said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, their canals, and their ponds, and all their pools of water, so that they may become blood, and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, even in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.’”(Exodus 7:19).
Please, how do we explain this?
Exactly. Now while i'm not totally in agreement with all that was posted here, i will give him his respect and not blatantly call him out. Imagine him saying Moses used a certain situation to scare the pharaoh.
I could honestly see a rational explanation for these "plagues";
Meteor shower, astronomical event, but not unheard of, and it's not hard to see it happening in the length of history we have. As a result of it, animals scattered all across the land, hence the "frogs swarming egypt", the locusts, etc. all being scared off and running around as a result from the impending shower they likely sensed at some point. And the so called final plague which involved the whole "death of the firstborn" thing, easily could've been any sort of sickness that targeted everybody, as a reminder, the adults grew blisters boils and rashes from an unknown cause, and it's very possible the sickness that affected adults was lethal to children.
And to anyone wanting to point out the whole "order the plagues occurred" thing, keep one very important thing in mind- this happened literally THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, not in the last century or two. Who knows what sort of things were changed or altered based on the history of things, including the easy possibility of one thing being changed through the course of time. Like a game of Telephone, you tell one person one thing, by the end of the 30 something people playing it, they'll likely hear something completely different from what it was. So imagine that literally millions of people later over the span of several thousand years. For all we know the order of the plagues was switched or swapped out at some point, maybe one or two never even existed and were thrown in just to make the "miracles" sound more compelling.
I'm not trying to disprove a religion or insult peoples beliefs here, I'm just trying to point out- don't immediately jump to conclusions and assume some flying spaghetti monster is responsible whenever some surprising "miracle/plague" occurs~
Nice to know that you prioritize historicity over meaning.
"Again with the plagues... Why'd I ever move to Egypt??"
As a believer, I believe that this did happen, I have read about the evidence and since the Bible has a 99.8 or close to that accuracy rate, I have reason to believe that it did happen. I also have experienced God’s hand work on my life.
If the plagues happened Why don't Egypt converted to christianity?
@@neyou6940 the answer is simple. Pride held them back. The ancient Egyptians didn’t believe in God, and Christianity wasn’t around at that time either. They already had their pantheon that no matter what God did to show it was wrong, they still held to it, because they didn’t want to change their ways. “The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23. I may not be the best at explaining it, but the best way is to read in the New Testament especially in the epistles. The answers are there.
Some of them where based on the eruption of Thera the volcano of Santorini.

I am a Christian and thank you for the Respect
For 10, alot of the food was given to the older son who would do most of the work. So its likely malnutrition and illness probably killed a lot of young children.
The only problem is in the Bible each plague was removed before the other happened so I don't know how much they would feed off each other
it is true
My apologies, but you did get a mix-up with plagues 4 and 5. The fourth plague is explicitly stated as a plague of flies that swarmed over Egypt and ravaged the land and the homes of the Egyptians, and therefore would have been the catalyst for the fifth plague that infected the livestock of Egypt. The other eight were correct to the letter.
Fun fact in my church that the missing plague is actually believed to be a plague of mosquitoes, which for me personally makes sense since frogs eat mosquitoes
8:55
Why the Rinderpest is a german word ? It is litterary "cattle pestilence/plague"
That was a good thought to ponder - the 10 plagues of Egypt were an ecological disaster. Thank you for this wonderful insight.
It basically describes it right
I swear Disney made a movie about this subject
