I don't understand why the Egyptians are the bad guys?The reason why Egyptians decided to oppress the Hebrews was that Jews kept breeding like rabbits, even when they told them not cut it.Also, Moses is a pretty unlikeable piece of shit.
Considering that Joseph was the one who made the pharaoh the owner of the entire land of Egypt, complaining that Jews breed too much seems like ingratitude on the pharaoh's part
>>25288756>Moses is a pretty unlikeable piece of shit.Moses was a double agent. He represents the Egyptian nobility but the Hebrews mistake him for one of their own>we had goyim in Egypt we should have stayed! >no, there is an important mission here in the desert trust me hebro
>>25288772Prince of Egypt movie makes one interesting change.In the movie, after Moses kills the Egyptian beating a Hebrew, Ramses says it isn't a big deal, but Moses still shit his pants and runsaway in panic.But in the bible:>When Pharaoh heard about this matter, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the presence of Pharaoh and [s]settled in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.
>>25288792Pharaoh in semitic conception was the adoptive father of Moses and the story is a father-son conflict. In the Prince of Egypt he is the brother of Moses, so the relationship will be different, following the old movie The Ten Commandments. Pharaoh in the Quran did not particularly want Moses as a son because he knew he was Jewish and Muslims believe he actually had his wife put to death over this issue, quite a different take from the Ten Commandments wherein the pharaoh's wife wants to fuck Moses because she is told Jews have bigger dicks
>>25288853I have never seen Ten Commandments is it kino?
>>25288888If you like movies like Spartacus or Jason and the Argonauts, then yes, since it is very much in that vein despite being a Biblical epic.
>>25288756>>25288760That wasn't the main complaint, the main point of tension is that they used prophetic power for speculation, hoarding grain before a famine and then using the food to trap most of Egypt into debt slavery. I mean by the standards of the ancient world that isn't the most heinous of crimes or anything, but I was amazed at how much that part read like modern anti-semitic narratives.
>>25288756It‘s jewish mythology and anybody who isn‘t a jewish supremacist is inherently evil. Sometimes they‘ll lie to make the pieces fit.
>>25289254That is how they gave pharaoh all his power. The debt slavery was to pharaoh and in return all of Egypt had to give him all their land. How is pharaoh going to seethe about this shit when he was the beneficiary lol
>>25289268Isn't it a different pharoah that enslaves them? If it isn't, I can still see a narrative of thanks for the help, but now the people despise you so I better fuck you over to mollify them.
>>25288756so you dont understand how trying to force people to stop having families, then oppressing them for having families is wrong?
>>25288756they weren't, wise up and notice the jews seethe about every ancient civilization they came in contact with.
>>25289284It is a later pharaoh but he inherited it all. It is true the Jews were the only ones allowed to have land besides the priests but he most likely would have enslaved them to add that land to his collection as much as anything else. They didn't have any religion of their own and their ethnic solidarity was not enough to prevent that guy from ratting on Moses or Jews from constantly bitching about how it was better under slavery than free
>>25288756Egypt is so old, the nile floods regularly every season, i feel like waking up in cairo or alexandria is a literary situation that occurs so often cause the mediterranean really was sort of the middle of the globe especially to the mediterranean and the egyptians are usual over there something with pythagorean theorems and building the pyramids and every year the nile floods, how could any individual ever predict that were would be eclipses and floods that would occur at periodic intervals fairly regularly
