Imhotep rises again

 

1290 BC, the affair between the High Priest Imhotep and the mistress of King Seti I, Anck-su-namun has been discovered. Anck-su-namun commits suicide, in the hope her lover can resurrect her. Imhotep steals her body to begin the ceremony in Hamunaptra, the city of the dead, only to be discovered again and sentenced to the biggest punishment of them all, the curse of Hom Dai.
He is buried alive wrapped like a mummy together with flesh-eating scarabs granting him eternity to suffer his wounds.

That's how the story of The Mummy begins.
