**Cecil B. DeMille’s** https://deadline.com/2017/12/cecil-b-demille-the-ten-commandments-charlton-heston-hollywood-guadalupe-nipomo-dunes-center-1202218994/ ***The Ten Commandments*** https://deadline.com/2017/12/cecil-b-demille-the-ten-commandments-charlton-heston-hollywood-guadalupe-nipomo-dunes-center-1202218994/ **films** https://deadline.com/2017/12/cecil-b-demille-the-ten-commandments-charlton-heston-hollywood-guadalupe-nipomo-dunes-center-1202218994/— originally released in 1923 and then reshot in 1956 — depicted a tale of the Israelites enslaved and forced to construct great buildings for the pharaohs. And as recently as 2014, the Ridley Scott movie *Exodus: Gods and Kings* depicted Christian Bale as Moses freeing the Jews from slavery as they built the pyramids. Egypt banned the film, citing “**historical inaccuracies** https://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/27/world/middleeast/egypt-has-reportedly-banned-exodus-gods-and-kings-movie.html?_r=0,” and its people have repeatedly spoken out against Hollywood movies that repeat Biblical narratives about Jewish people building Egyptian cities. Even the 1998 Dreamworks animated film, *The Prince of Egypt,* earned significant criticism for its depictions of Moses and Jewish slaves forced into construction projects.
