Till the End of the Night
September 1995. Diyarbakir Province, Turkey (Türkiye). The town of Egil is shaken by one of the greatest miracles of the modern era. For decades, this spine-chilling chain of incidents has been kept tightly under wraps. Until now. This documentary film, or rather docudrama, also supported by dramatic episodes, tells the true story of an extremely mysterious, eerie and curious event that has never been seen before in the history of global archaeology. In September 1995, the government of the Republic of Turkey (Türkiye, since summer 2022), in the city of Diyarbakir, located in the southeastern region of the country, opened the historical tombs identified as belonging to two Jewish prophets whose names are mentioned in the sacred texts of the three major religions (Judaism, Islam and Christianity). As a result of a secret excavation conducted by government officials, it was found that the bodies of both holy figures, who are known to have died about 28 centuries ago, are intact "as if they died just yesterday". The Turkish government moved the graves to a 300-meter-high hill in the same town so that they would not be submerged by the waters of a dam that was being completed at the time. The film, the production of which was completed in two years, traces this eerie event, which has been kept as a "state secret" for 25 years. The producers find the last surviving witnesses of this unusual archaeological excavation one by one and interview them with the special permission of the Turkish government.
