Once upon a time there was an Egyptian Priest and a Pharoh's mistress/concubine/lesser wife. They fell in love, which was, of course, forbidden. They committed regicide. She died. He was mummified alive and cursed.

You'd think that would be an end to it. That is not always the way magic works.
More than half a century passed. The American fell to age as did his English wife and her brother. Their children and grand children prospered and lost the history of their house in the approach of the new century and the new millenium. Ahm Shere lay forgotten beneath the sand. The Medjai, no longer the guardians of Hamanuptra and as certain as they could be that the threat of Imhotep was over, became just another set of bedouin in the great desert of Northern Africa.
Ardeth Bey, young leader of the tribes of the Medjai, settled back into his life of keeping his people
