According to reports, Egypt and Morocco have both banned Fox’s Biblical epic Exodus: Gods and Kings. The BBC reported Friday that Egypt’s censorship board has banned the film due to what censors called “historical inaccuracies,” including the film depicting Jews having built the Pyramids and that an earthquake, not a miracle by Moses, made the Red Sea part. Earlier this week, media outlets, including Agence France-Presse reported that Morocco had banned theaters from showing the film. There, the state-run Moroccan Cinema Centre had given the film the OK. but local business website Medias24 reported that officials decided to ban the movie from being screened the day before its premiere.
