3rd Story Idea

• Man is at a dig in Egypt at Tanis, the ancient city where in 1939 a French archaeologist named Pierre Montet unearthed a royal tomb complex that included three intact and undisturbed burial chambers.
• He is at the dig as Montet's right hand man, looking in contempt for these tombs, when he discovers an ancient treasure. Following this he unearths an entrance to one of the tombs.
• As he begins to enter it an arrow is fired from a clifftop, near to his head, where a shrouded woman has fired it. She shouts down to him not to enter and wrapped around the arrow is something written in ancient egyptian. On it is the same writing he finds inside.
• He enters anyway and soon goes home to glory and the second world war.
• Montet enters a deep depression when his work goes unrecognised, shadowed by WWII. The man is there to comfort him but Montet dies anyway.
• In the British museum the mummies begin to do strange things - artefacts beging to glow at night and move etc. Strange noises are heard, people go missing.
• At the funeral the girl is there, watching from a distance. When the man turns and sees her, she disappears.
• One by one, the other people who were at the dig die, at each funeral he sees the woman.
• Eventually the man begins to feel ill, and starts to think the worst.
• The woman seems to be everywhere the man is, but disappears with the wind.
• He eventually reads the piece of paper with the arrow which states a way to save the people who died. He discovers that they aren't actaully dead but are in a deep coma, induced by the curse.
• He finds the woman and they work together to save the others by breaking the curse.
• They dig up the others where they begin the ritual by placing them at the foot of the temple of Amun Ra.
• Before they can complete it, however, the man realises that the mummies are not defeated, they missed out that step.
• The mummies arrive as they were in life, intent on stealing the life force of the others.
• The man and woman fight the mummies but almost are defeated when a horn blows and the woman's people appear at the top of the hill and defeat the mummies.
• They complete the ritual and the others wake up.
• The man and woman can no longer stay together and are split up to go to their normal lives.
• The film ends on them together under a moon, on the day of the festival of Hathor, the goddess of love. This is the one day they can see each other every year.
