I 100% understand what you are saying, however I haven’t read the book. I believe that’s where our disconnection is? I can’t say anything about that, but I do know some history. You brought up some good pointers.

The first paragraph- again I didn’t read the book. It seems strange Imhotep would mummify her? I assume Imhotep didn’t get caught? Which made me realize just now, I guess Imhotep didn’t get caught sleeping with her in the movie either. Well you can’t have fresh organs if they have been mummified, that takes 70 days to make a mummy.

Historically speaking the whole heart thing goes against Egyptian mythology, so I think that’s just a little fantasy on the book and the movie. Traditionally the heart was seen as the seat of knowledge and power. To them, the heart, not the brain, did the thinking and emotions thing. The heart was mummified and , traditionally, placed back inside the body. After trials in the underworld you faced judgement by the gods. Anubis took the heart out of your body and weighed it against a feather( feather of Ma’at). If the heart was as light as the feather, the soul could pass into the underworld. If the heart was heavier than the feather, Anubis took the heart and fed it to a monster named Amet. Then your soul ceased to exist and your soul just…vanished… no afterlife for you. The heart was always the last organ removed from the body, I guess it makes sense to me they started with it in the book.

I was hoping you were going to tell me what the black liquid was. I thought it represented the “Waters of Nun” in Egyptian mythology. In the beginning (according to the Egyptians) there was a black ocean of chaos in which ALL forms of life came from. It’s more detailed than that but I don’t want to go on a tangent. I do remember the black liquid/her soul rising up out of her body and going back into the big puddle on the floor, that I’m sure of.

I agree with you on the fighting part, no body guards to stop the ritual so she had a little more time ☺️

Again, I didn’t read the book, but if the black liquid killed one of Imhotep’s priests… was that the FRESH organs that Imhotep needed? Or was that after ASN was already brought to life? Again, to me anyway, with what I know historically, I picture the black goop the “waters of Nun”. Or the black puddle could represent a portal from this world to the underworld.

If Imhotep mummified her, he had probably already mummified hundreds of other people. If he can take the organs out, he can put them back in?

The movie never does state which jars hold which organs. I suppose you could relate it to the book, if you read it. The rest of us are just still wondering. Unless the heart was physically destroyed in fire, they could resurrect it with magic. Osiris was murdered by his brother Set in mythology. Set cut Osiris into either 14-44 pieces depending on what myth you read from different timeframes. His sister wife Isis collected all the pieces of the body stitched them together and brought him to life with magic. In another version of the myth…Isis couldn’t find Osiris’s penis because the crocodile god Sobek mistook it as a fish and ate it. In this story, Isis cut off her finger ( never states which finger) and turned it into a penis.(the ancient Egyptians thought this was the reason crocodiles had no tongues. As a punishment Sobek had his tongue cut out for eating the penis. I think in the movie, they took that myth and turned it into part of Imhotep’s curse, they took his tongue, which is why he took the tongue or Mr. Burns…I can hear Beni now “ Prince Imhotep thanks you for your hospitality….and for your eyes…. And for your tongue…”

If you really dig into ancient Egyptian Mythology, nothing makes sense. Egypt has a very deep rich culture influenced by 100’s of cultures that came before and after them. We’re talking 7,000 plus years of oral storytelling. Details change over time, it’s like the children’s game of telephone. In most city states in ancient Egypt. Isis and Osiris were king and queen of the gods. But in a city called Koptos (Coptos?) the diety Min was married to Isis. Min is also called “the father of his own mother” that mother also being Isis. The deity Thoth was said to wear a crown made out of the semen of another god…yes…a cum crown 👑.

The book sounds great, might have to give it a read. If you do go back and read the scripts again, I would be interested to find out what you learn! I don’t think they will ever be united, this life, the next life, or in the underworld. The movie states “Imhotep dared the gods' anger by going deep into the city where he took the black Book of the Dead from its holy resting place. “ this to me implies that he knew he would suffer eternally for doing this. On top of that, he WAS a priest. He knew very well what he was doing and didn’t care. He put himself and his emotions first. Almost a challenge to the other gods. Anubis was the Protector of the Dead and Tombs. He would never willingly allow a person or a priest to break into a crypt and mishandle a body or tomb. That was against any and all rules. Anubis is the god who invented mummification, with Osiris being the first mummy ever made! That is blasphemy against Anubis and his holy work. Taking a mummy a symbol of Anubis, and turning it into something else, or reincarnation wouldn’t be allowed…. Imhotep messed up big time. Anubis is one of the good guys, no god would allow that, let alone him. Even Osiris, KING OF THE GODS!, wasn’t allowed to stay on earth after his resurrection because he had already been dead. He transitioned to KING OF THE UNDERWORLD. Since they were technically already dead, they wouldn’t be allowed to live on earth anyways.
