Basenji hieroglyphics in the movie The Ten Commandments

Off Topic
  • What is it with the biblical Charleton Heston movies? I watch them every time they are on TV, just like watching White Christmas during the festive season.

    So here I am watching The Ten Commandments - wow, they have really worked on the film itself. It looks like it's in high definition. I keep looking for a basenji hieroglyphic - no sightings yet.

    I just looked up Pharaoh dogs, and found out that they have nothing to do with Egypt, but rather Malta. So which dogs were the ones a person would see in the hieroglyphics. Would it be a basenji?

  • I have seen photos of 'glyphs with small curly tailed dogs as well as larger loopy-tailed dogs, some in the same scene. One can only assume the smaller curly tailed ones are the basenjis!

    @CrazyBasenjiMom I live in the very Southern tip of Indiana & we get some pretty cold winters & there's a lot of humidity so it's a real "biting" cold & if the winds blowing ~ it feels like razor blades are in it!! If no one else wants the sweaters, I'd be glad to have them for my next b that I'm waiting on getting!! But if someone else lives in a colder area & wants them, they can get them! If no one else wants them, I'll be happy to have them. Before my Mother passed last yr., she'd knit up one for everyday of the week & one to wear on wash-day!! :)
  • Not a Basenji, but WOW!

    Sorry, but I'd most likeley go for a beagle, that was my very first dog and he was awesome!! Got him off the street…my first 'rescue'...after that, crap, can I say this...a cat.....OUCH!!!...Yeah, I was very lucky with both my B pets, but as I get older, I'm not sure I would be able to handle a young B. However, as I look forward to retiring I'm more than happy to have multiple B's in my home. :) Older ones, like me :)
