(#17) There Are More Canopic Jars Than There Should Be

From Redditor u/The_New_Doctor:

(#12) Rick's Sword Is Impractical For An Actual Fight

From IMDB:

The bronze sword that Rick wields during the climax of the movie, as well as the bronze khopesh used by the soldier mummies, are considerably bigger and longer than their historical counterparts.
