Continuity mistake: When Moses leads the Hebrews from Egypt, he pauses before them to deliver a little speech before they head out into the desert. He faces the camera and lifts his staff up with his left hand. But on the cutaway shot from behind, he is holding the staff in his right hand.
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.
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)
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)
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)
Revealing mistake: When Moses takes the first journey up Mt. Sinai for his very first view of the burning bush, the walking scene shot has Charlton Heston following the camera as the camera dollys backwards towards the bush. As Heston and the camera movement comes to a halt, two long tire tracks in the sand created by the dolly truck that housed the camera and cameraman can be seen.
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)
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)
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)
Continuity mistake: Before Moses parts the sea waters, he cries, "Behold his mighty hand!" and extends both arms, his staff covered by his cloak. From the angle shot from behind, the staff is now over the cloak.
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)
Continuity mistake: When Moses is exposed as a Hebrew, Sethi is holding his scepter up in his left arm, and Nefretiri tosses her feather to the ground. In the next shot, Sethi's scepter has vanished.
Continuity mistake: When Sephorah first talks to Moses, she is touching the rope holding the bucket over the well. She's not touching it anymore in the next shot.
Continuity mistake: When Nefretiri is told by Memnet that there will be a Hebrew on the Egyptian throne, she lowers the cloth that she is holding. In the next shot, she is holding it up higher again.
Continuity mistake: When Seti orders that The Deliverer be summoned, he hands the bottle that Rameses gave him earlier without looking at him. In the next shot, he is looking at Rameses.
Continuity mistake: When Seti is told by Rameses that he has caught The Deliverer, Seti is looking at Rameses. In the next shot, Seti is looking straight ahead.
Continuity mistake: When Moses and Joshua are reunited and Moses denies God's purpose for him (he says "I am not the man"), Moses has his arm around Joshua's back. In the next shot, Moses is only touching Joshua on the shoulder.
Continuity mistake: When Moses asks Rameses where extra grain can be found to feed the slaves, look at Joshua. In the next shot, a guard suddenly appears in front of him.
Continuity mistake: When Rameses is asked by Moses if there is any extra grain to feed the slaves, Rameses' pose changes between shots.
Continuity mistake: After Rameses slaps the coin out of Dathan's hand, the shot cuts to Dathan being much closer to Rameses. Another instant cut and Dathan is further from Rameses again.
Answer: She was a woman scorned. Yes, she loved Moses, but Moses turned his life away from the royal life of Egypt (and Nefertiri's love) to be with his people, the Hebrews, and serve the will of God. These were far more important reasons to Moses than living a lush life as a prince of a people he was not connected to by blood or lineage.
