LOL ! Pharaoh was god you know ! Writing had the impramature of magic about it. Its not imposible that pharaohs went about saying such things. But I would give this little bit of poetic license to Cecil B. Demille the director of that movie.

BTW the sticks to snakes trick was just too cool. No ?

No my friend. Pharaoh did exist and Moses did lead Our creators people from bondage in Egypt. Cecil B. DeMille and the writers of The Ten Commandments (1956) used many of what you would call "Poetic License" tricks to improve a great movie. It was appropriate for Yul Brynner to say something so powerful and poignant (to the point) but I haven't read anywhere in the Bible where it states that Pharaoh actually used these words.

Well, as no one was there in real life who is still around today, it's pretty hard to say if it was true or just some more Hollywood scriptwriting. It sounds like something written for Yul Brynner or Charlton Heston, rather than for the actual pharaoh.

Only when he wanted his remarks to be documented and recorded, like a law.

Only for offical laws and whenever he desired his thoughts recorded.
