As a professional Egyptologist and educator

with Assyriology and Sumerology as a side study, I found the research and presentation found in the first part of Zeitgeist to be TOTAL 100% NEW AGEY HORSESHIT. If someone walked into my classroom and presented a paper like that, I would give them a very generous "D-". I fucking hate these New Age charlatans and tricksters like Zecharia Sitchin, Erich von Daniken, Swami Acharya, et al. who pretend that they are scholars and, for money and followers, take advantage of innocent people's general ignorance regarding ancient Near Eastern religions, civilizations, mythic systems, and languages. As a Sanskritist, I might also mention the stuff on Hinduism was crap as well. If you look at the references used in the movie's first part, they are all crap and would not be allowed as legitimate references in any academic research paper.
