Thou shalt find the Ten Commandments up for bid this summer.

A pair of faux granite tablets that Charlton Heston cradled in the 1956 biblical epic "The Ten Commandments" is expected to fetch as much as $60,000, said Marc Kruskol, a publicist for the auction Profiles in History. It is the fourth set of tablets that remain from the film that featured Heston as Moses.

The five-piece costume Heston wore in 1959's "Ben-Hur" is also among the 1,000-plus pieces of Hollywood memorabilia the auction is selling this summer.
