We’re spending time at home again, so we have had the opportunity to watch a couple of films over the weekend.
Such as this history lesson:
Which is not much of a history lesson at all, given that it’s purportedly set in the protodynastic period in Egypt which runs like 3000 B.C., when two actual Egyptians bore the title King Scorpion, and the Rock plays the last of the Akkadians, which is is out of time since the Akkadian empire did not rise until about 2300 B.C., seven hundred years after, and the “Akkadians” are assassins, which seems to be patterned on the Order of Assassins from roughly 1100 A.D.
So, that is to say, it was not a very good history lesson at all but rather a lesson not to get your understanding of history from the cinema.
