I just don't believe that the people in that region could be what we know as white today.
I have the same feelings about Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra the Egyptian...puhleeze.

Sorry to ruin your righteous indignation, but Cleopatra was white. She was a direct descendant of Ptolemy, a Greek general. The Ptolemaic Dynasty was notorious for inbreeding and not marrying outside the family. She most definitely was Greek and not African.

The reason the film is "controversial" is because Jews run Hollywood and the Media and they don't want to see a sympathetic portrayal of Christ that a true believer and even non-belivers can connect with. They falsely believe that the movie would foment anti-Jewish sentiment. The secularist movement cannot stand any favorable depiction of religion.
