"What's it say?"

It was O'Connell who made Evy read the spell out of the Book of the Dead if you remember - so he shouldn't have been so hard on her later in the film.

Through the wonders of the statistics I can call up on my pages on Geocities I have discovered that a number of the people making their way to my domain over the internet type in ‘Languages spoken in The Mummy’.  As I have been working on this for while myself I have decided to create these pages to provide information on that subject, and hopefully teach people a bit about Ancient Egyptian along the way. There are three sorts of information in this area, the languages part of my Mummy site; the first covers the written Egyptian in The Mummy, the next  two cover the spoken Ancient Egyptian in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns . The third is a short page on the Arabic from the films provided by my friend Samir who has a grasp of the language better than mine

Speak like an Egyptian

A lot of written Egyptian was used in the Mummy films. These pages will tell you about the hieroglyphs used.

"Arise!

"Masalama akhee"

At least they got it right in The Mummy Returns! More spoken Egyptian, and at least you can understand this...

The Arabic spoken in the Mummy films, I need to say my shukrans to my friend Sam for help with this.  (Shukran means thank you)
