Continuity mistake: When Moses confronts his Egyptian mother Bithiah with the Hebrew piece of cloth, she is beading on an Egyptian loom. During this scene, the string that she is beading (the farthest to our right) first matches the height of the other strings. One shot later, there is suddenly more beads, making the string higher than the others. (00:57:40)

Other mistake: At the very start of the Exodus there are three consecutive shots with the blowing of horns. In the next shot, while the camera faces the ground, there are multiple imprints of modern work boot or sneaker soles visible on the dirt (near the spotted goat), on the left side of the screen. These are not sole imprints of the time period. (02:59:25)

Other mistake: When Nefritiri rushes to Moses and cries, "I will not live if you must die," in the next shot as Ramses pulls Nefritiri away, the dark outlines of Charlton Heston's modern-day briefs are visible under the ragged garment he's wearing. (01:35:25)

Visible crew/equipment: When Rameses is on his chariot ready to pursue the slaves, he shouts, "Forward!" In the next shot, there are visible wide tire tread marks on the ground from the camera vehicle, alongside the chariot wood wheel marks. (03:15:40)
8th Mar 2023
Visible crew/equipment: When Moses is brought in chains to Pharaoh's throne dais, standing behind Sethi and Nefritiri are two fan-bearers, one at the left and one at the right. In the two medium close shots of Sethi and Nefritiri, when Sethi tells Moses, "Speak, my son," the two actors' curved white marks are visible on the floor, at the right feet of both fan-bearers. (01:30:50)

Continuity mistake: When Moses returns from Ethiopia amidst great fanfare, he's wearing two golden wings crisscrossed across his chest. At first they are crisscrossed with his left wing over his right, but when Moses kneels in front of Sethi, the wings are crisscrossed the opposite way, with his right wing over the left. These golden wings continue to switch positions repeatedly in the following shots. (00:21:20)

Visible crew/equipment: When the High Priest tells Pharaoh about the astrologers seeing a star enter into the House of Egypt, the actor's white tape mark is visible on the floor, at his feet. (00:09:50)
2nd Mar 2023
Visible crew/equipment: At the start of the Exodus, the Narrator states, "After the stifling night of terror, came a day such as the world had," and just as the Narrator continues to say, "never seen," a crew member wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and dark pants is visible walking in the background, at the right side of the screen.
