There's some mistakes in that video, so be careful when passing it trough to non-Muslims. Because a single futile might be enough for a person to reach wrong conclusions and turn away from Islam.

Brother I did not say he said anything bad about Islam, but he got some of the historical parts wrong. If someone with great knowledge of history sees this, then I'm afraid he would be inclined to think: "well he got the historical part wrong, why should I believe this guy about the religious part?"

okaay :) thanks i anderstand now.

Are you sure it is wrong historical wrong parts?

[Abdul Fattah]

Sure? not really, only Allah subhana wa ta'ala knows what happened in the past and what did not happen. It's not like I recorded the eruption of the Vesuvius with a camera ;)

What I do know, is he said some things that historians disagree with, and that he did not give any source to back these things up.

[yahia12]

I didnt mean that point of view :).. i meant who are the historians then? where did you get it?

[Abdul Fattah]

If you insist I will try to make some time tomorrow to watch it again. Since the last time I saw it was like a year ago or something like that, and I don't remember all the details. Then inshaAllah I could make some notes, but now I got to go.

As promised I made some time to list a few things.
First of all like someone already commented on youtube, not everybody died immediately, and there were warnings there's a bunch of people who got away. Those who died were those who stayed behind and were confident that nothing serious would happen.

Another point is the statues, the death did not turn into stone. Thing is, when archaeologist discovered the site, they realised that there were "holes" in the solified magma where people used to be. Their bodys mostly decomposed, but the space that they took up left open under the ground due to the structure of magma. Then they filled those "holes" with some sort of plaster, to reconstruct the position of the people, and then after digging them out they carved the plaster "blocks" and added facial expressions and the like to make it more impressive to tourists.
