There’s a lost city buried in California!

The city isn’t ancient ruins, though. It’s the remnants of a hugely over budget film set by Cecil DeMille from the 1923 film “The 10 Commandments.” DeMille had the set secretly buried after filming in the California desert near Guadalupe, CA.

DeMille made a longer film with the same name and story in 1956 with Charlton Heston as Moses that is well known today. The lost city was unearthed in 1983 by filmmaker Peter Brosnan.

Futurama’s Fry was named Philip in honor of Phil Hartman!

Hartman was an actor and comedian most known for his work on Saturday Night Live in the 1990s, and the underrated sitcom NewsRadio. He was semi-regular on the show The Simpsons. When Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, began working on characters for his new show Futurama, he wrote Zapp just for Hartman.

Phil Hartman was murdered by his wife in 1998 and was never able to play the part. In honor of him, Zapp’s voice was modeled in the same way Hartman was going to make the character and Philip J. Fry got his first name in honor of Hartman.
