You may be asking, who are these four people that are leading this online tour? They are the following (it is taken from their website, Navigating History).
Isaac Botkin
Team leader and visionary of the Navigating History project
Since age 11, Isaac has been working in video production. In 2005 he authored a book (Outside Hollywood) and began a popular blog on filmmaking. His passion is bringing aesthetic excellence, creativity, leadership, and historical knowledge to the war of ideas. Since his early experiences in cultural warfare, he has seen how much ideas influence culture, and how much history shapes worldviews — and this is what he plans to spotlight in "Navigating History."
David Noor
Boots-on-the-ground interface with the Egyptian people
David's family traces its heritage back to a small village on the banks of the Nile. Through time spent living in Egypt and studying its language, customs, and religions, he has learned to identify key points of Egyptian culture and strain them through the grid of a biblical worldview. His home education and voracious reading also make him the team's expert in Egypt's church history, and the lessons to be learned from its rises and falls.
Steven Bowman
Lead camera man and production editor
The team's most experienced globe-trotter, Steven has been the technical lead on several projects spanning the Americas and Europe, including a 55-episode European history online series. He also worked on Vision Forum's “The Mysterious Islands” documentary. His skills in cinematography, graphic arts, visual effects, and more, bring technical finesse to the project, as his solid worldview provides ideological strength. Steven anticipates this fascinating journey to Egypt as a remarkable opportunity to observe, through the lens of a camera, an ancient culture founded in paganism, and how it was used by God to demonstrate His awesome power.
Chris Harper
IT expert and managerial muscle
Chris is a technical expert for one of the nation's top IT support firms, coming on board the Navigating History project to keep everything ticking. He's been immersed in cultural diversity across the U.S. from rural Iowa to Hollywood, but this trip will be his first outside the country. An off-the-cuff speaker and natural leader, Chris likes to make things happen. Committed to Biblical principle, Chris hopes to observe the effects of bad ideologies and compromises on laws and personal freedoms.
