An evil pharaoh, an ancient love, and a desire for revenge – in this episode of the Mummy Movie Podcast, we delve into the Spanish film, "The Mummy's Revenge" (1973).
Terms and Phrases
Akhenaten: An ancient Egyptian pharaoh who reigned during the 18th dynasty. He is best known for his religious reforms, placing the Aten, the god representing the disc of the sun, above all others.
Akhetaten/Amarna: The capital city of Akhenaten. It remained the capital for about 14 years. Following Akhenaten's death, his successors, including his son Tutankhamun, moved the capital back to Thebes.
Bastet: A goddess in Egypt, daughter of Ra in Egyptian mythology. Before 1000 BC, she was commonly depicted as a lioness and was a powerful warrior. However, from around 1000 BC onwards, she was also shown with a cat head, representing a tamer form. Bastet has her origins in the 2nd Dynasty.
Bubastis: An ancient city in the north of Egypt, whose ruins serve as the cult center of Bastet.

Embark on a journey shrouded in mystery as we unravel the enigmatic tale of the Aztec Mummy, entwined with ancient blood rituals and the looming presence of an evil spirit. Join us in this episode as we delve deep into the heart of 'American Mummy' (2014).
Our adventure begins with an exploration of the rich tapestry of the Aztec civilization. Through the lens of the film, we're transported back in time, tracing the vibrant history and cultural legacy of this fascinating ancient society. From their awe-inspiring architecture to their intricate belief systems, we uncover the captivating secrets of the Aztec world.
But the intrigue doesn't end there. In the latter half of our journey, we shift gears to offer a comprehensive review of 'American Mummy.' With a critical eye, we dissect the film's narrative, performances, and cinematography, culminating in our verdict as we rate it out of ten.

Words and Terms
Codex Telleriano-Remensis: This is a pictorial manuscript that provides valuable insight into the pre-Columbian Aztec civilization of Mexico. This codex largely consists of two parts. The Telleriano section is primarily concerned with the ritual calendar and the agricultural year of the Aztecs. The Remensis section focuses more on genealogy, history, and cosmology, with illustrations of deities, rulers, and mythical narratives.
Tenochtitlan: The capital city of the Aztec Empire, located on an island in Lake Texcoco in the Valley of Mexico. The city was founded in 1325 AD, and by the time the Spanish Conquistadors arrived there in the 16th century, it was inhabited by 200,000 people, several times bigger than any city in Europe.
Quetzalcoatl: One of the most important and revered deities in ancient Mesoamerican religion, particularly among the Aztecs and other Nahua peoples. The name Quetzalcoatl is derived from the Nahuatl language and is often translated as "feathered serpent." This deity held significant importance in various aspects of Mesoamerican cosmology, including creation myths, religious rituals, and social organization.

Terms and Phrases
Deir el-Bahari - The mortuary temple of the female pharaoh Hatshepsut. Besides being one of the most breathtaking locations in Egypt, it is also the site where a cache was discovered in the 1800s. This cache contained the remains of most kings of the New Kingdom, including notable figures such as Thutmose I, II, and III, Seti I, Ahmose I, and Ramesses I, II, III, and IX.
Third Intermediate Period - This time period spanned approximately from 1077 BC to 656 BC, covering the 21st to 25th Dynasties. During this era, Egypt was not unified, and multiple dynasties ruled simultaneously. Interestingly, none of these dynasties were native to Egypt. The 21st to 24th Dynasties had Libyan origins, while the 25th Dynasty originated from Nubia (modern-day Sudan).

Ka (kꜢ) = Part of the Egyptian soul. After death, the Ka could enter likenesses of the deceased. The Ka needed to be sustained by food and drink, and as such, likenesses of the deceased could receive offerings.
Ba (bꜢ) = Part of the Egyptian Soul. This is similar to an individual's unique personality. After death, the Ba could leave the tomb and also travel between the land of the living and the land of the dead. However, it had to return to the body each night to help the Ka receive sustenance.
Khar = a measurement of grain in ancient Egypt. This was one of the most common measurements in the ancient Egyptian economy.
Deben = a weight of metal. During the Ramesside Period (Approximately 1292–1069 BC), a Deben would have been about 90 grams in weight.

An ancient relic, a military operation, and a trip to an alien world. This episode examines the 1994 classic, Stargate. The first half of the episode focuses on the historical accuracy of the film, which is especially interesting as Stuart Tyson Smith, who also worked on the Mummy (1999) and the Mummy Returns (2001), serves as the historical advisor. Then, the second half reviews the film.
Egyptology Terms and Themes Mentioned in the Episode
The Pyramid Texts - The first example of these come from King Unas, who was the final King of the 5th Dynasty. They decorated the burial chamber of the king and helped him to survive and thrive in the afterlife.
sḏm.n=f - A formula which changes an action into one that happened in the past (a completed action) in the ancient Egyptian language. In this case, sḏm = listen. N = of, and f = he. Put together, it comes out as he listened. If it was just sḏm=f is would be 'he listens'.
Coptic - the Egyptian branch of Christianity. It is in part thanks to the Coptic language that we have some idea of what the ancient Egyptian language would have sounded like. Even today, the Coptic language is still spoken in Coptic churches across Egypt. This language played a large part in the decipherment of the Rosetta Stone which ultimately lead to the decipherment of hieroglyphs.
