Together, this unlikely trio races against a ruthless rival expedition of treasure hunters to unearth the mythical ruins.Upon breaching the ancient necropolis, Evelyn ignores dire warnings and reads aloud from a mysterious, bound-in-flesh tome known as the Book of the Dead. Unwittingly, her incantation breaks a millennium-old curse, unleashing Imhotep, a high priest who was mummified alive for engaging in a forbidden, blood-soaked romance with the Pharaoh’s mistress. Resurrected in a decaying, skeletal form, Imhotep’s primary motivation is absolute carnage and the resurrection of his ancient lover, Anck-su-namun, by sacrificing the woman who awoke him.As Imhotep systematically hunts down the members of the archaeological team to harvest their organs and regenerate his flesh, a plague of apocalyptic proportions descends upon Cairo.
