Trivia:
This film features some of the alleged controversies in history - the construction of the great pyramids 12,000 years ago, almost 7,500 years earlier, the existence of the Ben-Ben stone (the pyramidion stone that is now missing from the top of the Khafre pyramid), the correlation between the position of the pyramids and the stars from the Orion constellation (associated by the Egyptians with the god Osiris), the Sphinx with a head of a lion allegedly correlated with the Leo constellation rising to the east (at the same time when Orion is in conjunction with the Giza pyramid complex) and the possible nonhuman origin of the first kings of Egypt.

Continuity:
When D'leh is talking to the Egyptian "god", he walks up to the army of Egyptians. He walks to within arms length of them, but in the next shot, he's several paces back.
Quotes: Tic'Tic:
Our wise man says: you will lead us there. D'Leh:
Me?
User Review
Like cafeteria lasagna....
Rating: 5/10
You know how when you go to a cafeteria style restaurant and you see
something you usually enjoy like lasagna. You get the lasagna and take
a bite with the fond memories of the last time you ate it in a real
restaurant. When the first taste hits your tongue and all hopes of
future meal enjoyment are flushed down the toilet. 10,000BC is the
cafeteria lasagna. It looks goods, has the potential to be great, you
have fond memories of other movies in the same genre that were good,
and then you watch it. It's edible but just barely. The movie had
pretty good special effects and wasn't boring which is why I gave it a
five. The dialog and acting were for the most part sub-par. The story
didn't even make an attempt to suspend your disbelief. Forget
historically inaccurate, it was ridiculous. If I were you I would catch
the matinée or wait for someone else to pay for the cafeteria lasagna
