*** Empathy, to feel a PARENTS pain the Egyptian's got what the Jews got and if you think about it the Egyptian's with young children then would have been the same age as the children killed before. Harsh {{laser guided karma}} via {{sins of our fathers}}

** Plus, didn't she have her scarf completely down at one point? In the scene where Moses first meets the leader of their tribe, he reaches out for a food, and someone rebukes him, saying, "Not yet!" and her scarf was lowered. Was this her?

** You're getting it mixed up. The tenth plague was the first born. Pharaoh's genocide was to kill whoever was recently born at that moment, so presumably Aaron was clearly older than that when Pharaoh did his thing.

**** You guys are forgetting that the Jews did not experience any of the plagues, (infact they didn't even see them), not only that but the Jews, as instructed by god put lamb's blood on all their doorposts so they wouldn't "suffer the destroyer to come into your houses and smite you"

** In mythology, damaging a God's statue is generally considered SeriousBusiness - and Gods generally aren't subtle in showing their displeasure.

* How was Baby Moses not injured or at the very least ''crying'' after his little journey down the Nile? Let's recap what happened: He's nearly nommed on by crocs and hippos, he's battered by oars of fishermen quite violently, he's hoisted up in a net before plunging back into the Nile to complete the journey. When he's taken out of the basket, he's cheerful, having seemingly forgotten what had just happened.
** God was protecting him?
** God and, of course, [[PlotArmor a script-writer]]. Chances are the real Moses didn't have such a rough ride, but there's nothing like a bit of MoodWhiplash to help set the tone for the rest of the film, in which we get to see all of Egypt's grandiose architecture and terrible cruelty side by side.

* Why do so few of the Jews have their heads covered?

** @ OP- Remember, Ramses just ruined a statue/temple that likely took a good few decades to build, so he just added another few decades ''just to get it back to how it was in the first place''. Seti's afraid that Ramses' seeming recklessness and apparent apathy toward the station he'll have to bear later will spell Egypt's doom.

** Judging by the fact that she lives next to a desert, its probabley a good way of stopping dust entering the lungs. Maybe she is the only one who has asthma?

* Why did Seti accuse his son, Ramses for nearly bringing down a dynasty just because he accidentally demolished a statue? Seems kinda harsh. What is he? A drama queen? "You dumped wine all over the floor!? ''YOU ARE BRINGING DOWN MY DYNASTY!!''"

** Because he thinks it's a portent of things to come. He sees Ramses as someone who prefers fast chariots, pranks and a life of luxury than actually running a country.

*** I'd put Aaron as four or five just based on looks.

** And he was. Aaron is shown during those events as just past a toddler.

* Regarding the Pharaoh's GenocideBackfire: if Aaron is Moses' brother, wouldn't that mean that he would be the one targeted by the Egyptian soldiers? I mean, HE'S the firstborn, not Moses.
