In 1922, the tomb of Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamun was opened by a group of British people in the name of archaeology.
But to be honest, this thing is no different from tomb robbing.
You see, a group of British people went to their own colony to dig up the graves of their ancestors after applying to the Japanese devils they had trained. After
unearthed a large number of cultural relics, some of them were handed over to local museums due to the pressure of public opinion at the time.
After all, this was too shocking at the time, so we have to pay attention to the international impact.
On the other hand, those archaeologists took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. According to British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeve, 60% of the trinkets and jewelry in the tomb were easier to steal and have been lost.
In this regard, Inner Mongolia archaeologists said that as soon as the tomb was dug that day, a group of robbers came and we were robbed and beaten.
But in fact, according to Alfred Lucas, assistant to the archaeological commander Carter, after the tomb was discovered, Carter's grandson sneaked into the tomb when no one was around and searched inside.
Lord Carnarvon of this event also went home.
Many years later, while visiting the Louvre , the Egyptian ancient writer Christian Lobben discovered that an Egyptian collection had the words Tutankhamun engraved on it. This thing was obviously the two grandsons. It was stolen and sold to the museum.
After Tutankhamun's tomb was excavated, not only a large amount of Pharaoh's treasures were unearthed, but also strange stories about the Pharaoh's curse spread.
Because there were harsh words written on the walls of the tombs about digging graves and not dying well.
Coincidentally, several people who were archaeologists with him died accidentally one after another. After the birth of the weird story
, it was really a media carnival. Reporters eagerly look forward to when the archaeological gang will die every day. Whenever one of them dies, it will cause a wave of hot searches around the world.
When the film company saw this hot spot, it was greatly inspired. Universal Pictures immediately began to prepare a movie project about the curse of the Pharaoh.
In order to increase the popularity, the screenwriter hired by Universal was none other than John L. Balderston, a New York reporter who watched and recorded the entire excavation of the tomb.
This story is told by someone who witnessed the incident. Just say it doesn’t sound appealing.
Finally, the film was released in 1932 when the rumors were at their peak, and he was the famous mummy. The show
was a hit that year, and Universal made a lot of money. Even the movie poster for the show set an auction record for the poster category, reaching as high as $450,000. After
Universal's The Mummy became popular, film and television companies, large and small, discovered that this theme had selling points, and followed up with the Candid Mummy series.
So in the following ten years, the audience saw the mummy's hands, mummy's feet, mummy's blood, mummy's eyes, mummy's body, mummy's soul, and even the shroud of the Nima mummy, etc. Ten mummy-themed movies.
Before the Pharaoh died, he would never have imagined that a movie could be made out of just any part of his body. After thousands of years, the influence would still be so great.
And the audience has successfully seen aesthetic fatigue under the continuous bombardment of dozens of mummy parts series. Does the
routine sound familiar? That's right, the same was true for Hong Kong zombie movies back then. They were let down by those who followed the trend.
In 1999, Universal Pictures once again rebooted the classic monster The Mummy and produced a new version of The Mummy. This is the version we are most familiar with.
It is also worth mentioning that under the arrangement of the screenwriter, the villain Immorton broke the shoes of the wife of Pharaoh Seti I, had her thrown into a coffin, and was fed to scarabs .
But this would never happen in history, because 1,300 years after Immorton died, Seti I was born spanning a full 13 centuries. Even if he had that heart, he wouldn't live that long.
In addition, in real history, the high priest Immorton was the designer and construction commander of the first pyramid of Djoser in ancient Egypt.
He was so popular and respected by the people at that time that some people later said that he was a descendant of God. After all, he was able to personally design and preside over the construction of the pyramid in 2600 BC. This thing, which can be called an architectural miracle, is a little ordinary. Even if a genius can't reach this level, he has to be a top-notch genius.
