How accurate is it?

The Mummy (1999) with Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah and many more is an amazing adventure movie. It is in fact one of my favorite action-adventure movies.

It's exciting and funny. The jokes are good, the action is great and most importantly it doesn't take itself too seriously. Sure, the CG is a bit dated now, but some of it is still okay, mostly because no one has a reference point as to how a sandstorm with a face in it really should look.

But how correct is it in regard to the Egyptology? Both completely inaccurate and surprisingly correct.

In the following video, Rachel Maksy sits down with actual Egyptologist Dr. Colleen Darnell to find out.

Join me again next week for more Eccentric Spheres, and until then have a great and curse free week!
