This is not quite on the level of the Sony hack but both Morocco and Egypt have banned the screening of ‘Exodus: Gods And Kings’ due to what they term ‘historical inaccuracies’.
The BBC reports the head of Egypt’s censorship board listed these historical inaccuracies as the film depicting the Jews as having built the pyramids, and that an earthquake caused the Red Sea to be parted during the Jews escape from Egypt, and not a miracle from God as the Bible portrays.
I can see why that’s got to sting.
One of the greatest prides of both ancient and modern Egypt is their world renowned pyramids, so Exodus portraying them as being built by the Jews is not something that would sit well with them.
Also, claiming the Red Sea was parted by an earthquake to allow the Jews escape borders on blasphemy, and really belittles the role of God in that whole dramatic escape.
There are reports Morocco also banned the movie, just a day before it was supposed to premiere after it had initially been green lighted to screen.
