back to the beginning with christiane amanpour continues. we start the next leg of our journey with captain ahmad at the helm and a warm wind at our back. as this sails up the river nile, the modern world seems to melt away, and i m struck by the power and the history of egypt s majestic waterway. we re here because this is the backdrop for the bible s timeless story of freedom and redemption. this is where the moses story begins. his mother had put him inside a reed basket and placed him on the nile to save him and to protect him from the terror of the pharaoh at the time, who was having israelite children murdered. a prophet and a teacher, a leader and a lib rarity, moses is revered by christians, muslims, and jews the world over. she is really, really fast.
