It's probably an unhealthy mix of fiction and facts.

What goes for the 10 plagues of Egypt, science already got it covered. The rest of the story is more or less fiction, but I wouldn't doubt that in case the ten plagues really happened, there's no doubt that one would see a decent number of people, that would:
— use the ten plagues as a proof for existence of their god(s)
— use FUD (it's super effective!) to gain control over sheeppeople. (FUD tactics would take advantage of the ten plagues and the "this shit proves my god(s) is/are real" argument).

You see 20/20 I think.

If this author is right, Rome created the N T and used the Jewish archetypal messiah to control the masses. They created a pacifist whereas the expected messiah was not.
