FILE — Whip-wielding overseers drive Hebrew slaves – or hundreds of costumed actors and extras in these roles – before a 10-story wood-and-plaster Egyptian city set, constructed for production of Cecil B. DeMille’s “The Ten Commandments,” near the town of Guadalupe on the wind-swept Central Coast of California in 1923. Archaeologists, film buffs and historians are trying to save what remains of the giant Egyptian city set, complete with statues of Pharaoh and an Avenue of Sphinxes, which was demolished and hastily buried in the wind-swept dunes after shooting was over.
