If we stop moving stones for every grease woman who falls, the city will not rise.

Overseer

If the slaves are not driven they will not work.

If their work lags it is because they are not fed.

Seti Are you quite sure it will be Rameses? Jannes Who else could succeed you? Nefretiri Moses, of course! Jannes Because of Moses there is no wheat in the temple granaries. Seti With so many slaves, you could build…an army. Moses But I have built a city. Sixteen of these lions of Pharaoh will guard its gates. And it shall be the city of Seti’s glory. Seti Mm. Are these slaves loyal to Seti’s glory, or to you, Moses? Moses The slaves worship their God, and I serve only you. Baka Will you lose a throne because Moses builds a city? Rameses The city that he builds shall bear my name. The woman that he loves shall bear my child. So it shall be written, so it shall be done.
