The film is facing similar trouble in Morocco. According to Deadline, Ridley Scott’s adaptation of the biblical story of Moses has run afoul of Egyptian censors. Abdul Sattar Fathi, the head of the Egyptian state censorship board, harshly criticized the film, citing “historical mistakes” like claiming the Jews built the pyramids and portraying Moses as a general, not a prophet. “Furthermore,” Fathi said, “it shows ancient Egyptians as a mob group persecuting peaceful Jews. Our board has refused this out of respect for Egyptians’ feelings.” time/3647620/egypt-banned-exodus/
