Continuity mistake: The first man to cross the Red Sea is wearing a light blue and dark blue robe, followed by a man in a brown robe holding a blanket and a woman in blue on the left. A shot later, the first man is now wearing dark clothes, the one behind is wearing totally different clothes and his blanket is gone, and the woman has vanished.

Continuity mistake: After Moses parts the Red Sea, the light on the sand alternates between sunny or in the shadows, depending on the shot. This changes back and forth.

Sacha

Moses: No son could have more love for you than I.
Sethi: Then why are you forcing me to destroy you? What evil has done this to you?
Moses: The evil that men should turn their brothers into beasts of burden, to slave and suffer in dumb anguish, to be stripped of spirit, and hope, and faith - only because they are of another race, another creed. If there is a God, He did not mean this to be so. What I have done... I was compelled to do.

Question: As Rameses is getting dressed by his servants, Nefretiri stops one servant and takes a sword from him. The shot then cuts to Rameses getting dressed and then Nefretiri comes to give him the sword. What exactly did she do with it: did she stab her dead son (who is placed on that statue), or did she do something else?

Answer: She gave the sword to Ramses and told him to bring it back with Moses' blood on it.

Answer: I have always thought she stabbed her dead son. It's obvious she does something with it other than just give it to Rameses.

She doesn't do anything other than give him the sword. She's trying to dramatically convince Ramses to kill Moses. In countless stories, one character will tell another character to kill someone while handing them a weapon.

Answer: She didn't do anything with it. She took the sword so she could help dress her husband herself.
