    Plot

    Seti enslaved the Hebrews decades after Joseph arrived to Egypt. Seti ordered the newborn male Hebrew babies to be fed to the Nile. Yocheved and her first two children Aaron and Miriam put her newborn son Moses at a basket and delivered Moses to the Nile. Queen Tuya found the basket and raised Moses as Rameses' brother. Decades later, Moses and Rameses were grown up and were doing chariot races throughout the kingdom. Seti was furious at Rameses despite Moses causing the trouble most of the time. Moses and Rameses went to a festival, where they hazed a Midianite named Tzipporah. Rameses gave Moses a special ring for being a Royal Chief Architect. Later that night, Moses was following Tzipporah and reunited with Aaron and Miriam after decades of staying with the Egyptians. Miriam tried explaining to Moses of his true heritage, making him go the palace. Moses had a nightmare which is his first memory. Moses woke up and saw the horrifying hieroglyphs of the Hebrews fed to the alligators. Seti told Moses that the Hebrews were only slaves. Moses heard an elderly Hebrew man whipped by an Egyptian and was terrified. Moses yelled at the Egyptian to leave the man alone. Moses charged and accidentally killed the Egyptian. Moses ran away and outside the palace. Rameses wondered why Moses left. "Go ask the man I once called father." Moses had to face the brutal heat of the desert and got his garb destroyed. He was caught in a sandstorm and a camel pulled him from the sand. Moses went to a tribe of Midianites, where he saw Tzipporah again. Jethro, the High Priest of Midian told Moses to look through Heaven's Eyes. As Moses got older, he became a shepherd. He followed a white sheep to a burning bush. God told Moses to return to Egypt and free the Hebrews from slavery. God gave a staff to Moses so that His wonders will be shown. Moses and Tzipporah returned to Egypt. Moses used his staff to transform into a snake. Rameses had Hotep and Huy, two priests to make their own snakes, which were eaten by the staff. Moses gave his ring back to Rameses. Rameses refused to let the Hebrews go. Moses went into the Nile and turned the water into blood. 8 more plagues followed and Rameses still won't give Moses permission to free the Hebrews. At the final plague, the Angel of Death arrived, killing the firstborn sons of Egypt, including Rameses' son. In mourning, Rameses finally gave permission for Moses so the Hebrews can leave. Moses led his people all the way to the Red Sea, where Rameses and his army are charging toward them. God summoned a pillar of fire to stall them. Moses used his staff to part the Red Sea. He brought the Hebrews to the end of the path while it closed, wiping out the Egyptian army and bringing Rameses on a shore. Moses looks back and says "Goodbye, brother". Moses went to Mount Sinai and brought the Ten Commandments.
