King of Kings (1961): are those telegraph poles?
One of the things that happens when you watch a film many times over is that you start spotting things in the background. I was viewing the temptation scene in King of Kings (1961) today, and there is a long shot right over the desert and I think I can see what look like two telegraph poles in the background.

Nah. It's the One True Cross.
Or maybe a radio mast? Don't think it's very biblical whatever it is... unless the tower of Babel was very tall and thin!
It's a long range Roman catapult used to attack Masada.
Certainly two lines in the image, but I would not guess telephone poles, without others visible, and more widely spaced. Also maybe not in this area (remote? in Spain?).
Perhaps a flaw on this copy of the film?
One might need a synoptic examination of copies...
My vote is for the telephone line: 'He is on the 'phone line tell him what you want ...' as the spiritual points out. There is no hint of sarcasm in this comment! What an image for encouraging prayer/communicating with our God.
