None of the art/props have any actual Ancient Egyptian styling or features to them. The Mummy's sarcophagus is not Ancient Egyptian at all. None of the design is consistent with Ancient Egyptian iconography or archaeological reality.

User Reviews

It's really not that bad!

It's never good when you have to say "It's not that bad!" but I think the Mummy is being treated to harshly by critics. It has a 15% on Rotten Tomatoes. Really? It's not a great movie, but it is fun to watch and I thought the ending was very good. It felt a bit like a B- Movie in the beginning, but I still enjoyed it.
