Moses and Latin


The Easter weekend tradition of watching the Ten Commandments or, at least pretending to watch them, was recreated again this year.

One of the most interesting observations is when Charlton Heston, as Moses, returns from the mountain with the ten commandments. If you look closely at the stone tablets you will see they are identified with Latin numerals. So not only did Moses get the commandments but he also discovered Latin in the process. And maybe more amazing, was able to keep this secret for 3000 or so years.
