[post_page_title]Ben Hur: The Star of David was ahead of its time[/post_page_title]
Charlton Heston who played the title role in the film adaptation of the 1880 novel called Ben Hur: A Tale of the Christ, must have had no idea that the Star of David he was wearing on his costume is totally misplaced.
While it must have been powerful to see it on the character, it wasn’t very authentic because the first records which associated the Star of David with Judaism were found in the 12 century. The real Ben Hur would have probably been seen wearing another Jewish symbol which was more accurate for the time – a Menorah.
