Sometimes it seems as if I belong to a different world”…well Princess Ananka, you ARE in a different world, one where sequels are churned out incessantly and cheaply, with not much care being taken to present an actual half decent horror film. This was the 1940’s and it’s much the same now.

In ancient Egypt, Princess Ahmanet was in line to rule over the pharaoh's kingdom, but the pharaoh sired a son. Knowing that her place to rule had been taken, she made a deal with the deity Set and was given demonic powers. She murders her father and her family and attempts to set the deity free, but she is caught and mummified alive by Egyptian priests as punishment for her crimes. Her sarcophagus was then entombed in a region far away so she could never escape for eternity. The Mummy Demastered". Steam. Archived from the original on January 15, 2018 .

[6] Sommers did not want to remake the original film; instead of making another straight horror movie, he wanted to turn it into a romantic adventure with horror elements. Conscious of how the shambling, bandaged Mummy of the old films had become something of a punchline, he wanted a faster, meaner, and scarier monster. [10] :52 Sommers incorporated his own research and the services of a UCLA archaeology professor to make the ancient Egyptian language accurate. [6] :27 Snider recalled that Sommers' treatment was unique in that it took place in the 1920s, rather than a contemporary setting. [13] Universal liked the treatment so much that they approved the concept and increased the budget, [14] [a] and Sommers spent a year working on the screenplay.
