The Mummy - timeline
Dr. Muller starts excavating in Egypt. (Egypt)
An Ancient Egyptian priest called Imhotep is revived when an archaeological expedition led by Sir Joseph Whemple finds Imhotep's mummy. Despite the warning of his friend Dr. Muller, Sir Joseph's assistant Ralph Norton, recklessly reads aloud an ancient life-giving spell. Imhotep escapes from the archaeologists, taking the Scroll of Thoth, and prowls Cairo seeking the reincarnation of the soul of his ancient lover, Princess Ankh-es-en-amon. (Egypt)
Imhotep calls upon Sir Joseph's son Frank and Prof. Pearson, claims that his name is Ardath Bey, a modern Egyptian, and shows them where to dig to find Ankh-es-en-amon's tomb. The archaeologists find the tomb and give the mummy and the treasures to the Cairo Museum. Imhotep finds Helen Grosvenor, who resembles the Princess, and wishes to kill her and mummify her. She is saved when she remembers her past life and prays to the goddess Isis to save her. The prayer causes a ray from the statue of Isis to burst out raising its arm to point a glowing ankh at Bey. He ages and crumbles into dust. Frank then calls Helen back to the world of the living as the Scroll of Thoth burns. (Cairo, Egypt)
