In The Exodus Decoded Jacobovici not only mis-represented evidence he edited comments from scholars he interviewed ( Manfred Bietak who is doing the excavations at Avaris in Egypt was particularly victimized) in an effort to make it seem as if people who think he is a moron actually agreed with him.
That's "lying" as far as I am concerned.
You may find this interesting. Professor Bietak writes a scathing blast at Jacobovici.

Quote:The same thing happened to me. Short statements from my interview, cut out of context, come across as seeming to support the film’s argument. In fact, I objected to dating the Exodus story to the Hyksos period and the reign of Ahmose. And I objected, not because I wanted to steer clear of Biblical chronology and history (the film claims that I was afraid of the Egyptian authorities—nonsense), but because archaeology does not provide any trace of Israelites before the Iron Age (shortly before 1200 B.C.E.).
