The Three Ten Commandments
Today the Supreme Court heard arguments on a first ammendment case. At the heart of the case is whether or not a monument containing the Ten Commandments can be displayed on government property.
In a strange twist to the story many of these monuments were supplied by Cecil B. DeMille in an effort to promote his movie The Ten Commandments. In addition Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner , who played Moses and Rameses, attended many of the dedications of the monuments.
In our extended entry you can view three versions of the Commandments- Protestant, Catholic and Jewish.
