The Exodus - "The Ten Commandments" - Charlton Heston 1/2


If they were slaves, where did they get the cattle, sheep, goats, chickens, geese & ducks?  Horses, mules & other animals?  And carts & implements they needed for every day life?  And the food?  What about the gold they had to later make the golden calf?  And then later, all the jewels, gold & silver & costly materials for the Ark of the Covenant?  Truth is, they were not SLAVES.  They were  What did our American slaves own?  Practically nothing.  I love this movie & the stories, but they were hyperbole, exaggeration & lies.  Parting the Red Sea was concocted.  There is a spot in the North where the water receded at a certain time of the year & Caravans went through it regularly.  The Hebrews exaggerated everything in order to intimidate & psyche out their enemies, & the Patriarchs of today don't expose this as they are of the same cloth.
