Conan the Barbarian mistake picture

Visible crew/equipment: After Conan retrieves his father's now broken sword, it cuts to Doom's temple. In some versions the first long shot is a side view of the temple, with Doom standing alone on the balcony in front of the hanging tapestry. Then, in the next long shot facing the front of the temple, there's a crew member near Doom who is dressed in black, hunched over, standing beside the tapestry, and this person is wildly gesturing to come on up, just as a high priest walks up the long stairway (before his close-up). (01:56:35)

Continuity mistake: In the scene when Conan's mother is killed, we see her using both hands to hold her sword toward Thulsa Doom and his men. The camera cuts to young Conan and he is holding her right hand. When the camera cuts back to her, she is holding the sword with both hands again.

Suggested correction: It's not an inmediate shot, there's plenty of time in between for her to change the grip.

Question: After Conan falls down into the pit where he finds his sword, there's a shot of a shadow in the hole and it looks like someone walked up to it, but then walked away. Is there a deleted scene or something that can explain this?
