"Were the ten commandments written in Latin on those stone tablets?"

The earliest evidence of Hebrew as a written language dates to only the 10th century BC, about 400-500 years after the Exodus. Since Moses was an educated Egyptian it is just as likely that the tablets were written in Egyptian hieroglyphs as any of the earlier Semantic scripts.
