This One Scene in “The Ten Commandments” Took 6 Months to Film

The Ten Commandments came out in 1956, and at the time, it was the most expensive film ever made

NEED TO KNOW

• Filming the Red Sea parting scene took six months and required 360,000 gallons of water and a 32-foot-high ramp on Paramount's lot

• In the end, it paid off, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1956, and it remains a classic 70 years later

The Ten Commandmentswas a cultural phenomenon when it came out in 1956 and remains a classic to this day.

When making the film, directorCecil B. DeMilleknew it was going to be an undertaking of biblical proportions — and that it was. The legendary filmmaker and studio dedicated a tremendous amount of time and resources to the project, which ultimately paid off in the end.

In fact, they spent months filming just one scene due to the technical and cinematic challenge it posed. According to theScience Museum Group,theparting of the Red Sea sequence"took 6 months to create, with scenes shot on the banks of the Red Sea and at the Paramount backlot."

The scene was a product of rear projection and optical photography, as there were no computer effects at the time.

The production team created the walls of water "using a tilted ramp approximately 32 feet high and 80 feet long," which resided on the Paramount Pictures lot. When it came to filming, they released large amounts of water down the walls from large tanks.

"The water was supplied by an elevated tank through 15 manually controlled hydraulically operated valves, allowing the 360,000 gallons of water to cascade down in a thin sheet," per the museum.

They built long wooden batons along the ramp, breaking the water into "choppy tides and undertow." They then reversed the film to give the impression of the water going up and "the sea parting."

Filming the scene was saved for last because the chariots that were seen throughout the movie were destroyed during the flooding.

Charlton Heston,who played Moses,filmed his scenes in front of a blue screen so his takes could be combined with the other elements later. They also shot the desert landscape and added matte paintings to build an even larger environment while simultaneously covering up any seams between the different elements.

Each of these elements was then combined using optical printing, which meant they all had to be perfectly aligned or it would be visible to the audience. The result was the sequence viewed by so many, 70 years later.

The biblical adventure drama film — produced, directed and narrated by DeMille — featured Heston, Yul Brynner, Anne Baxter, Edward G. Robinson, Yvonne De Carlo and Debra Paget.

The Ten Commandmentswas the most expensive film produced at that time. However, after the movie was released, it became the highest-grossing film of 1956 and the second most successful of the decade, bringing in $122.7 million, or what would be equivalent to nearly $1.5 billion today.

The Ten Commandmentswill air on ABC on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at 7 p.m. ET.

20 musicians who walked away at the top—and what they did instead

Many of us have stood in front of a mirror, hairbrush in hand, imagining what it might be like to perform for a crowd of adoring fans. To some, being a pop or rock star is the ultimate dream, something to muse about at your 9-5 job. It might seem strange, then, why so many successful musicians have traded in the music limelight and lifestyle for total privacy or pivoted their careers entirely.

20 successful musicians who retired early

Look a little closer at the brutality of the music industry, and you might find it easier to sympathize with the musicians who chose to leave it all behind. Some, like Pink Floyd frontman Syd Barrett, retired at their prime due to the pressures of the spotlight; others, like Phil Collins, who performed his last show with Genesis in March 2022, were forced to end their careers due toongoing health concerns.

Of course, retirement isn't always the last word. In February 2025, Paul Simon announced that he would bereuniting forlive concertswith a smaller, more intimate "Quiet Celebrations Tour," which began in April. Elton John, who said he would never tour again after his "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour ended in July 2023,performed live at a benefit concertin May 2025. And then there are artists who remain strong after decades in the spotlight. In a 2015 interview, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger said he wasn'tthinking about retirement, and 10 years later, it looks like it still hasn't crossed his mind. In fact, the bandwon a Grammy Award for Best Rock Albumat the February 2025 ceremony, and they've got anew album coming out in 2026.

All that being said, plenty of successful musicians do hang up the towel and mean it. In May 2025, country legend Alan Jackson announced hisretirement from touringamid ongoing health issues. More recently, in September 2025, health problems forced rocker Dave Mason of the band Traffic to announce that he'dno longer be touringeither. Music takes its toll over the decades, and with that in mind, it's worth honoring and remembering the artists who truly walked away from it all.Stackerdove into music history to spotlight 20 musicians who retired early, fell in love with another line of work, or simply no longer wanted to play the game.

Each artist had to quit music entirely and change their career to qualify for this list. Artists and acts like Billy Joel, who has yet to release new albums but tours regularly, were excluded because music remains their primary career. Seeing as only a few artists who step away ever stay off the stage for good, occasional special appearances didn't disqualify musicians from making the list.

Neil Peart

Often considered one of the most virtuosic drummers in rock history, Neil Peart gave the prog-rock band Rush a distinctive and pummeling edge. Peart was also responsible for many of the band's highfalutin and philosophicallyrics. Rush played its last show together in 2015 before it was revealed in the band's documentary, "Time Stand Still," that Peart had been suffering immense pain and had to retire consequently.

Linda Ronstadt

In acareerthat spanned 40 years and was littered with a dozen platinum records and 10 Grammys, the singing finally came to an end in 2009, when Linda Ronstadt played her final show. In 2019, the documentary "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice" told the story of why she left. Speaking directly to the camera, Ronstadt revealed she had Parkinson's disease, which sadly robbed her of her vocal ability.

Phil Collins

Phil Collins, Genesis' drummer and the hitmaker behind "In the Air Tonight," began experiencing health-related concerns in 2009 afterinjuringthe vertebrae in his upper neck. Following a 14-year live hiatus, he joined Genesis in the fall of 2022 for its last show. Despite his visible frailty, Collins sat center stage, joking that he'd need to find a "real job" after the band's dissolution.

In a February 2025 interview with MOJO, Collins gave asad updateon making music again. "I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens," he said. "But I'm not hungry for it anymore. The thing is, I've been sick, I mean very sick."

Alice Nutter

Alice Nutter, perhaps best known as the operatic singer on Chumbawamba's one-hit-wonder "Tubthumping," ultimately left her musical days behind her after a 23-yearcareerto pursue writing full-time. Now in her early 60s, Nutter writes for thestage and screen. Her most recent credit is the 2023TV adaptation of "The Full Monty,"which she co-created and co-wrote.

Captain Beefheart

Don Van Vliet, better known as Captain Beefheart, set a new template for avant-garde rock in the 1960s. By the decade's end, he had released the influential double LP "Trout Mask Replica," often considered his magnum opus. Following a slew of releases, Beefheart retired from music in 1982, disappearing from public life and into the Mojave Desert, where he spent the rest of his life painting and making visual art.

Jeff Mangum

After releasing1998's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the 1990s, Neutral Milk Hotel's Jeff Mangum seemed to fall off the face of the Earth. Alongside the band, Mangum seemed content to depart from music and public life after only releasing two albums. In 2013, however, Neutral Milk Hotelreunited for a tourand spent two years on the road. It looked like the group might be back for good, but the pull of retirement must have been too strong for Mangum and his bandmates. In 2015, Neutral Milk Hotel announced that their spring shows would be "ourlast tour for the foreseeable future." Over ten years later, neither Mangum nor the group as a whole have performed again or released any new music.

Grace Slick

As lead vocalist of Jefferson Airplane, Grace Slick was one of the most prominent figures of the 1960s psychedelic rock movement. The band's1967album "Surrealistic Pillow" achieved great commercial success, making them one of the first Bay Area bands to receive worldwide recognition. Slick departed shortly after, revealing that herageled her to quit rock 'n' roll.

Bill Withers

A great many musicians threaten retirement throughout their careers. But rarely do any of them follow through on that promise. Unfortunately, that was the case with Bill Withers, the soul singer who produced many timeless hits during his short-lived career. Tired of touring and of his fraught relationship with his record company, Withers retired in the mid-'80s, and nothing seemed to lure him back into the limelight.

Willa Ford

Willa Ford rose to fame at the start of the 2000s alongside Britney Spears and a boom of women pop stars. Ford's hit "I Wanna Be Bad" shot to the top of the charts in May 2001. But her follow-up singles didn't do quite so well. Ultimately, Ford traded in the microphone and stage for interior design. In 2012, she birthed her own firm,W Ford Interiors.

In June 2024, Ford said she would be releasing new music, and in October 2025, she finally dropped her new single "Burn Burn," marking her return to music after more than 20 years. Her new album, "amanda," was released in March 2026.

Kate Bush

Throughout Kate Bush's stretch from her 1978 debut "The Kick Inside" to 2011's "50 Words for Snow," the mystical singer only embarked onone tour. Following years of silence, Bush played a series of shows in London in 2014, singing songs from throughout her career. Bush, who has developed a reclusive reputation, reemerged briefly in 2022 with words ofgratitudewhen her 1985 track "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)" became one of the biggest tracks of the year, thanks to its inclusion in the fourth season of "Stranger Things." Bush was also inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame in 2023, though shedeclined to attend the ceremony.

Syd Barrett

Syd Barrett, the frontman and creative mastermind behind Pink Floyd, immediately seemed ill-equipped to deal with the fanfare of fame. Saddled with addiction, Barrett departed from Pink Floyd in1968and went on to live most of his life in relative seclusion. At 60, Barrett died of cancer, leaving behind a formidable legacy despite only a brief stint in the limelight.

John Deacon

John Deacon was a relative late-comer to Queen, joining the band in1971, just a year after frontman Freddie Mercury's enlistment. Responsible for hits like "Another One Bites the Dust," Deacon became integral to the band before his retirement in the early '90s, which came soon after Mercury's death in 1991.

Cindy Birdsong

Cindy Birdsong began her musical career as one part of Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles before gaining greater notoriety in1967when she joined the Supremes. The trio achieved stratospheric success, but that didn't stop Birdsong from leaving the group (twice) in the1970s. Birdsong's dream had always been to become a nurse, which she did soon after retiring from music.

Russell Senior

The wry alternative rock band Pulp put Sheffield back on the musical map toward the end of the 1980s. Sharing the stage with frontman Jarvis Cocker, the band's violinist, Russell Senior, lent the band an eccentric edge. After13 yearsin the band, Senior left Pulp in 1997 and later embarked on a career as anantique dealer.

Jim Martin

Right after the heavy metal band Faith No More released its album "Angel Dust" to critical and commercial applause, Jim Martin, the band's guitarist, left the group just at the peak of its success. After 15 years of relative silence, Martin answered a series of fan questions for a U.K.-basedblogand explained that his departure was due to no longer aligning with the band's musical direction.

Jason Schwartzman

While you probably know him best as the indie actor in films like "Rushmore," Jason Schwartzman first earned his name as the drummer forPhantom Planet, the band behind the iconic theme song of "The O.C." He's also written music for the screen, including the theme for HBO's "Bored to Death," but with little musical output since. It may be safe to assume that Schwartzman has ultimately traded in music for acting.

Dave Rowntree

His music has beenplayedon both the Glastonbury main stage and on a spaceship to Mars, but Blur's drummer, Dave Rowntree, has taken a few career u-turns away from music since. In 2009, he trained as a solicitor. In 2010, he became a campaigner for the Labor party. Later, he explained that those decisions were basically "a mid-life crisis." Now, Rowntree works as a composer, and in September 2025, he published "No One You Know– Early Blur," a book of photos from Blur's earliest days.

Meg White

As one half of the White Stripes, the band she co-founded withthen-husband Jack White, Meg White saw tremendous success with breakthrough singles like "Seven Nation Army" and "Fell in Love With a Girl." But following a lengthy hiatus, the White Stripes officiallyconfirmed their splitin February 2011. While Jack has continued performing, dropping his most recentsolo albumin 2024, Meg stepped away from the spotlight completely. In June 2023, a writer for ELLE documented her attempts to secure aninterview with Meg, but she was only able to to communicate with Meg's friend. "She spent 15 years traveling and touring and playing," the friend said. "It's not that odd to think that she just likes to be home."

When the White Stripes were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in November 2025, Megdid not appear at the ceremony, but Jack shared a message on her behalf. "I spoke with Meg White the other day, and she said that she's very sorry she couldn't make it here tonight, but she wanted me to tell you that she's very grateful," he said. "And to all of the folks who supported her in all the years, it really means a lot to her."

Henry Rollins

As a musician, Henry Rollins may be best known as frontman of the hardcore band Black Flag from 1981 until the group disbanded in 1986. Rollins continued on with the Rollins Band, and also as a spoken-word artist. Over the years, Rollins has become recognized as an activist and for his TV appearances, but he's stepped away from music. In a2016 interview, he said, "For me, music was a time and a place. I never really enjoyed being in a band. It was in me and it needed to come out, like a 25-year exorcism. One day, I woke up, and I didn't have any more lyrics." More recently, in October 2024, Rollins confirmed that he wasretired from music. "I'm smart enough to not come back for the encore," he shared.

Linn Berggren

All '90s kids remember Ace of Base hits like "All That She Wants" and "The Sign." The Swedish group, formed by siblings Jonas, Jenny, and Linn Berggrenn with Ulf Ekberg, has never disbanded, but theystopped performing togetherin the early 2000s. While most members went on to make music, Linn Berggren stepped away from the industry completely. In a 2015 ABC News catch-up with band members, Ekberg confirmed that Linn wouldnever return to Ace of Base. "She left the band and we promised her to never even ask to come back," he revealed. "She's done with [the] entertainment industry. It's understandable. It's brutal from the inside, it was not for her. She has no craving to be famous, she loved her fans, but the fame factor was not for her."

Kevin Moore

A former member of the band Dream Theater and the founder of the Chroma Key music project, Kevin Moore had an unconventional music career before leaving it behind. In a 2013interview with Fates Warning— a band whose albums Moore had collaborated on — vocalist Ray Alder said "good luck finding" Moore, before revealing that he was in his third year of medical school. Yes, Moore became a doctor. Since 2020, he's been apsychiatrist at Trinity Healthin Minot, North Dakota.

As Trump orders UFO data released, a question hangs: If aliens exist, what would they think of us?

For generations, human beings have wondered: What would alien life from another planet be like? But we rarely ask the opposite: What would they think of us?

What on Earth

It's a question that can produce some, well, uncomfortable answers if you happen to be an earthling.

"If I were looking at Earth from a distance, I would be pretty disappointed," theoretical physicist Avi Loeb says. "Most of our investing is dealing with conflicts to prevent other people from killing us or us killing others. Look at the Ukraine war over a little bit of territory. That is not a sign of intelligence."

The debate on whether little green men or UFOs are among us escalated in February when former President Barack Obama, responding to a podcaster's question, said aliens are "real," but he "hasn't seen them" and "they're not being kept at Area 51." President Donald Trump laterannounced on social mediathat he was directing release of government files because of "tremendous interest."

Stepped-up interest in UFOs also is swirling as the United States heads back toward the moon with Wednesday's launch ofNASA's Artemis IImission. The four astronauts aboard will do a fly-around of the moon before returning to Earth.

In a world riven by war, civil unrest, climate change and divisiveness, it's easy to wonder what newcomers to Planet Earth might make of us and our struggles. Whatever the case, well over a majority of Americans echo the sentiment of the slogan from "The X-Files": "The truth is out there."

A 2021 surveyconducted by the Pew Research Center showed about two-thirds of Americans said their best guess is that intelligent life exists on other planets. About half of U.S. adults said UFOs reported by people in the military are "definitely" or "probably" evidence of intelligent life outside Earth.

"We don't want to think this is the only place in this extraordinarily and incomprehensibly large universe where life and intelligence and even technology have emerged," says Bill Diamond, president and chief executive of the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California.

"It sort of says about humans, 'We don't want to be alone.'"

Something is up there. But what?

Americans have been fascinated by the thought of life outside this planet following the recovery of debris in 1947 near Roswell, New Mexico. The military initially said the material was from a flying disc, only to reverse course and tell the public it was from a weather balloon.

Hollywood ran with it. Flying saucers, little green men and eventually humanoid gray aliens became part of popular culture. April 5 even is celebrated annually throughout the iconic "Star Trek" franchise as "First Contact Day" to mark the date in 2063 when humankind, in "Trek" canon, first made contact with Vulcans.

Much in the popular culture suggests any aliens might be aggressive. Priscilla Wald, who teaches about science fiction at Duke University, has a theory as to why.

"It seems to me it's a reflection on who we are, that we're projecting onto aliens the way we treat each other," Wald says. "So the aliens are coming down, they want to conquer us, they're violent. Who does that sound like? It sounds like us."

In 2024,the Pentagon released hundreds of reportsof unidentified and unexplained aerial phenomena. However, thatreviewgave no indications that their origins were extraterrestrial.

On two separate occasions, Debbie Dmytro saw things in the sky over Michigan's southern Oakland County. The greenish object Dmytro says she saw March 1 in the sky over Royal Oak, Michigan, looked like neither plane nor helicopter. Dmytro, a 56-year-old medical professional, acknowledges that it could have been some type of commercial or delivery drone.

What she saw in 2023 in the same general area north of Detroit is not so easily explained.

"Four yellow lights, yellowish golden lights and they were all flying very, very low," Dmytro remembers. She says the lights were about 100 feet (30 meters) up at their nearest.

"I've never seen anything so low without any noise and flying in complete uniformity," she says. "Is it something man-made? Is it something that's not manmade? Who knows?"

Who knows indeed? UFOs, the term for unidentified flying objects, has in recent years given way to UAP — unidentified aerial phenomena or unidentified anomalous phenomena.

"Absolutely, there are such things" as UAPs and UFOs, says Diamond, whose SETI — Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence — seeks to explore, search and understand the nature of life and intelligence in the universe.

"People observe things in the sky that they can't immediately identify or recognize as either human engineering such as planes or drones or helicopters, or animals, such as birds, and therefore they don't know what they are," Diamond says.

Time for the truth

Like so many, Dmytro wants to know what the government knows. "I think there's more information out there. I'm open to learning more," she says. "I have an open mind. It's always about scientific proof."

Retired Rear Adm. Timothy Gallaudet says evidence clearly shows there are UAP zipping around the airspace and in the oceans.

"The nonhuman intelligence that operates them or controls them are absolutely real," Gallaudet says. "We've recovered crashed craft. We don't know if they're extraterrestrial in origin."

Gallaudet worked as acting administrator for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He participated in a 2024 congressional hearing on UAP disclosure and says the release of government files promised by Trump is something people find of interest. He just hopes the president follows through.

There are billions of galaxies in the universe and each has billions of stars, so the likelihood life developed elsewhere is fairly high, according to University of Michigan Astronomy Professor Edwin Bergin, who teaches about looking for life elsewhere. He believes that if intelligent beings navigated vast distances to reach Earth they would make themselves known — despite humanity's penchant for creating chaos.

"I would think that they would look at us like we were crazy ... but they would come out," he says. "I mean, why come here otherwise unless you're going to sit and observe."

Loeb, director of the Institute for Theory & Computation at Harvard and head of the university's Galileo Project for the Systematic Scientific Search for Evidence of Extraterrestrial Technological Artifacts, believes in the likely existence of extraterrestrials.

"They might be laughing at us," he says. "They might be watching us ... to make sure we will not become predators, that we will not become dangerous to them."

In the interest of national security

Much of the government's secrecy around UFOs and UAP is tied to national security concerns, according to Diamond.

"We have pretty advanced technologies, satellite, ground-based that are for various purposes mostly national security and defense that are pointing at the sky or things on board aircraft," Diamond says. "Sometimes these pick up objects. The technology behind it is sensitive and protected."

Government data, including a "trove " of UAP video the Navy is sitting on, should be shared with scientists for research and a better understanding of the characteristics of the objects, says Gallaudet, who spent 32 years in the Navy and viewed classified UAP video.

"When you look at these things in our airspace having near collisions with our aircraft, that's a real valid concern," he says. "We are just not sure of what they are and what they intend to do with their interaction with humanity. That could be a national security threat, or not."

"When has ignorance ever been a good national strategy?" Gallaudet asks. "Whether it be scary, harmful or not, or a mix, I think seeking the truth is in our best interest."

Meanwhile, Diamond doesn't think any "true alien encounter could be kept secret."

"If any civilization has mastered interstellar travel, they have technology and capabilities beyond our wildest comprehension," he says. "If they want to interact, they will; if they don't, they won't. If they want to be seen, they will be, and if not, they won't be!"

Women take pride in Holy Week roles after a Spanish Catholic brotherhood's procession excluded them

MONTORO, Spain (AP) — One religious brotherhood's refusal to include women in itsHoly Weekprocession has made front-page news in Spain, whose Easter-time festivities dating back centuries are among the most fervently celebrated in the world.

Spain-Holy Week-Women

The exclusion is the exception in the Catholic processions that have been unfolding across the country. They vary from hourslong versions that attract tens of thousands of faithful and tourists in major cities likeSevilleto village affairs that speak more intimately to family and tradition.

There was indignation at the controversy unfolding in Sagunto, where a majority of the Puríssima Sang de Nostre Senyor Jesucrist brotherhood's members voted to exclude women and said their decision was based on "respect for tradition." The news triggered protests from the government as well as in the streets.

Holy Week processions in Spain are elaborate affairs that take months to prepare, peaking in the early hours ofGood Friday, one of the most solemn days.

Brotherhoods organize the groups that for hours carry the heavy floats with statues, sometimes up to half a dozen of them representing scenes from the Gospels' accounts of Jesus' passion and death, like Judas' betraying kiss onthe Mount of Olives.

Women are sometimes "portadoras," carrying the floats on their shoulders.

In Baena, a hilltop hamlet of whitewashed homes among Andalusia's olive groves, eyelashes lushly covered in mascara were seen through the purple hoods of women carrying a flower-decked float with a statue of Jesus in prayer.

In Montoro, another village in the same province of Córdoba, a member of a local brotherhood said men and women should have equal roles, especially since the sacred images carried in procession include both the Virgin Mary and Jesus.

"In my house I have three daughters, with my wife that's four, and with me we're five — and the whole family takes part," added Ricardo Ruano, who on Holy Thursday was a "costalero," one of the robed people carrying large floats on the base of their neck. "We wait for this the whole year, because it's our favorite."

Several "portadoras" in Montoro said they were indignant at the controversy in Sagunto.

"We as women have the same right as a man to go out in the procession," said one, Rosa de la Cruz. "We don't go in a procession so that people look at us, we participate so that they see the image."

Many in the village devoted their Holy Week prayers to the victims of adevastating train accidentoutside a nearby town that killed nearly four dozen people in January.

Even as Spain, like most of Europe, isincreasingly secular, interest keeps growing in participating in procession roles, said Juan Carlos González Faraco, a University of Huelva professor. He has studied religious traditions in Andalusia, including theEl Rocío pilgrimageat the end of the Easter season.

Historically male, brotherhoods have been including women in both leadership and processional roles for decades, he added. That's especially true in the lines of often hooded "penitents" who march alongside the floats, though some of the heaviest floats are still carried only by men.

In Montoro, Mari Carmen Lopez said physical strength might vary, but men and women share the same feeling.

"We go with faith, with devotion, with all our hearts," she said as her brotherhood's float made its way through the village's uphill alleys. Men who disregard that, she added, "don't realize they were born of a woman."
