Why did everyone ignore the fact that Moses's cobra ate the two summoned by the Hotep and Hoi?
>>63622570
They knew and accepted that Moses' God was real, it just wasn't their God(s).
>>63622613
Polytheists historically chill as fuck when it comes to religious beliefs.
>>63622613
This. The Egyptians believed that the Abrahamic God was real, just like they believe that the Roman Gods were real. They just thought that their Gods were greater.
I fucking love The Prince of Egypt.

I felt the plagues was a better scene+song
the snake scene was cringeworthy with how shitty the song was
Gleaming in the moonlight
Cool and clean and all I've ever known
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
Sweet perfumes of incense
Graceful rooms of alabaster stone
All I ever wanted
This is my home
With my father, mother, brother: oh so noble, oh so strong
Now I am home
Here among my trappings and belongings, I belong
And if anybody doubts it
They couldn't be more wrong
I am a sovereign prince of Egypt
A son of a proud history that's shown
Etched on ev'ry wall
Surely this is all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

Why do filmmakers forget that Ramses grew up with Moses and would have been the same age as him?
He is always portrayed as a guy in his late 20's-early 30's at best while Moses is in his 60's
>>63624515
Have you ever seen a Jew that aged well?
>>63624515
Moses doesn't exactly look past his prime in the movie, either.
>>63624515
Generally Moses is depicted with a big beard and long hair and Pharaoahs are usually depicted as having no hair at all. So I think that's part of it.
I don't know what age Moses was when the shit went down in Egypt (if you believe it happened at all), but I also think many of his old man depictions come from his older days when the Israelites had to wander the desert for 40 years
look through heaven's eyes is my favourite song, love the cresendo and the slave chick was hot as fuck
>>63624891
He was in his 80's when he came back to Egypt to free the Israelites.
Exodus did it better
>>63622570
CGI is a satanic abomination
YOURE PLAYING WITH THE BIG BOYS NOW

Because they didn't that they wereplaying with the big boy now.

Also Pharaoh was considered a god on Earth.
>>63622570
it was an era where magiks was possible by high priests, though moses showed them he had greater magiks, they still thought it was just that at this point.
>tfw twink Moses was almost Aladdin-tier animated husband material

>Why do filmmakers forget that Ramses grew up with Moses and would have been the same age as him?
Well first the idea that Ramses grew up with Moses and was pharaoh at the time of the plagues is extra-biblical. He was never mentioned in the bible, nor were any of the pharaohs by name. Moses tends to be portrayed as older because of all the time he spent away from Egypt before returning. And then of course later there's the post-Exodus stuff.
Didn't Moses's staff snake eat the Egyptian magicians staff snakes in the Bible?
>>63622570
They were too busy singing
>>63625822
I don't recall quite where Egypt was on this at this point, but over time it but over time it became son, then simply human with his ear to the gods.
>>63624891
Wandering happened after the crossing, doofus

the reason the Pharoah of Exodus is associated with Ramesses is because they mention the city of Ramesses, which was named as such during/after Ramesses reign - so they assume the events took place then. Of course the text could have probably called it that for familiarity as it was probably either written or revised to reflect the contemporary naming conventions of the time. I know there's another example of the same kind of thing happening in the Pentateuch.
I'm watching Exodus right now and it fucking sucks ass. Prince of Egypt is superior in every possible way.
>>63627547
try Ten Commandments, like the Charlton Heston one
I haven't seen it but I imagine its decent
>>63622715
>>63622751
Jews at this time were the same way. Yaweh was a storm god or something in a pantheon. Eventually they were like 'fuck this, Yaweh is so great, no other gods even exist."
>>63627607

One of the better bronze age fairy tales
How is Ramesses a baddie when god literally made his heart into stone or whatever
Best song

>tfw Dreamworks went from making more mature and intriguing animated films like this, Antz and The Road to El Dorado to just being a Pixar ripoff
They had so much potential, I hate to say it but Shrek kind of ruined Dreamworks in a way (and I say that as someone who loved Shrek).

I blame the fact that Sinbad was a failure.

I like myths too. Bible myths are too lewd for me though.

I feel like this a pivotal point in history if the Jews wasnt set free we would have never had Christianity and Islam.
>>63627576
The Ten Commandments is an amazing film. I cannot reccomend it enough.
Also Ramses BTFO so hard in this
