Their chore was to keep any curious treasure seekers and tomb raiders away from Hamunaptra lest they disrupt the sleep of the menacing mummy. Imhotep slept for thousands of years guarded from generation till generation by the Medjais. At all if he should ever arise from his eternal sleep he would be an undead flesh eater with invincible powers and cause suffering to mankind. He was cursed to be eaten alive by the insects inside his sarcophagus till eternity. His tongue was cut off while he was buried alive in a sarcophagus with Scarabs, which were flesh eating insects. Imhotep’s priests were sentenced to be mummified alive while Imhotep suffered the worst of the penalties. However the rituals were interrupted by Pharaoh’s body guards before they were completed. We then see Imhotep stealing her remains and taking them to the holy city of Hamunaptra to perform the necessary rituals to resurrect her from the dead. Anck-su-Namun stabs herself to death immediately afterwards most probably in fear of the consequences awaiting her crime. We shortly see the Medjais, whom are Pharaoh’s elite soldiers, storming into the palace but only to find their leader dead. Imhotep flees with his priests, while promising to resurrect his love with his powers as high priest of Egypt and keeper of the dead. Pharaoh screams in pain from the agonizing stabs for a seconds’ time then dies in cold bold. The sudden circumstances compel Imhotep and Anck-su-Namun to assassinate him with daggers. Pharaoh sees the smudge marks on her arms and asks her about them.

Anck-su-Namun’s arms are full of Tattoos that apparently smear at a single touch. Their betrayal is very soon discovered by Pharaoh when he suddenly walks in to his chambers in his palace upon a secret romantic meeting between them. Briefly speaking The Mummy is about an Ancient Egyptian priest called Imhotep who falls in love with Anck-su-Namun, pharaoh Seti the first’s (1290 BC) mistress. The Mummy is about a very sinister yet captivating tale involving ancient Egypt…an all-time fiction-adventure inspirer for film makers and scenario writers in Hollywood. The next best thing to it is its’ sequel The Mummy Returns as it continues with the same breathtaking spirit from beginning till end. Frankly speaking up till its’ release date and even afterwards it still stands as the best adventure thriller within the genre and for a number of reasons. Despite the fact that I have seen many adventure movies released by Hollywood and motion picture producers in the US and UK, this movie is just the best I have ever seen in my entire life.

It’s just astounding how this film still stands out clearly in my mind.
