The Mummy Page #2
IMHOTEP:
.... and the soldiers who killed them
were also slain, so that no unholy person
should ever know the exact location of the
burial site.
The Mumia walk off across the sand and then, one by one,
the Priests stop their frenzied stabbing and stare off at the
vanishing Mumia. As the last Mumia disappears over a distant
dune, Imhotep nods, and the Priests leap onto Anck-su-namun's
grave and begin digging it back up with their hands.
CHARIOTS race out into the moonlit desert. Imhotep leads the way. A
"hearse" carries Anck-su-namun's mummy. THE MAP OF ANCIENT EGYPT FADES UP.
The chariots race across the map.
IMHOTEP:
But there was another book, The Book
Of The Dead, which was never to-be opened,
never to be read, for it contained the
incantations that could bring a dead body
back to life a most unholy thing.
The chariots arrive at a place marked on the map in hieratic. They race up
the stone ramp and in through the city gates. SUPERIMPOSED across the
SCREEN are the WORDS:
KANUNAPTM - City of the Dead
IMHOTEP:
It was hidden at Hamunaptra, City of
the Dead, inside the statue of Anubis, so
that no such sacrilege might ever disgrace
Egypt.
EXT. HAMUNAPTRA - ANUBIS SITE - NIGHT
Imhotep pulls an ORNATE CHEST out of a SECRET COMPARTMENT inside the giant
STATUE OF ANUBIS. He opens the chest and lifts out THE BOOK OF THE DEAD,
made of black stone.
IMHOTEP:
But for my love of Anck-su-namun I
was willing to defy the gods.
INT- UNDERGROUND NECROPOLIS - NIGHT
Big hairy RATS scurry through the mausoleums and over the headstones of
this very large, scary, UNDERGROUND CEMETERY. A DETRITUS MOAT surrounds the
cemetery, --muck made out of filthy water and human remains. Skulls bob in
the goop. The Priests have gathered in a circle. Their hooded, lifeless
eyes seem dead to this world. Their bald heads rock back and forth as they
CHANT, a quiet eerie HUM. Heinous creatures. In the middle of the circle is
a strange, twisted ALTAR.' Imhotep has unwrapped Anck-su-namun's gorgeous,
lifeless body and placed her five sacred canopic jars around her.
IMHOTEP:
Anck-su-namun's vital organs were
still fresh, so a human sacrifice would not
need be made
As Imhotep begins to read from The Book of The Dead, a large SWIRLING HOLE
starts to open in the detritus bog. Several Priests look over at it,
frightened, then quickly look back down and resume CHANTING. A strange MIST
wafts up out of the swirling hole and over to the jars, it passes through
them and into Anck-su-namun's body. One of the jars SHUDDERS, the heart
inside begins to BEAT. The CHANTING PRIESTS, SWIRLING HOLE, WAFTING MIST,
BEATING HEART and IMHOTEP'S READINGS are reaching a crescendo.
