Is there any source for the spelling "Hamunaptra"? It seems obvious that it was supposed to be "Hymenoptera", which is the scientific classification for certain insects. Ken Arromdee 18:24, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

In the scene of the film which begins with an army fighting in Hamunaptra there is a subtitle that spells it that way. Also the subtitles on my DVD spell it that way. Borb 22:24, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 3rd Mummy Movie

Is there another source stating that a 3rd Mummy movie is in the works? I went to the link given, but it is pretty dubious. Not to mention old. It dates back to 2002.--*Kat* 06:56, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Summary

I reworked the plot summary, though there are a few lagging parts in it. To kill the mummy Evelyn reads from a book, I'm on vacation I can't view my copy of the movie to find out which book she reads from, if somebody could clarify and reword it so that it sounds better I would appreciate it. --ImmortalGoddezz 02:29, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Its the golden book of Amun-Ra and it does not kill him per say, just strips him of his imortality so he can be killed (by a spear).

Actually he is killed by a sword. :P HuronKing

[edit] The book of Amun-Ra

Do we even need this section? I cleaned it up a little bit, but it just seems superfluous, unless there are connections to it and an Egyptian artifact in real life.

[edit] Broken

Not an editor but the pics are broken ~ ~ ~

[edit] ........Zelda References? Hweh?

"Video game references are made throughout the movie. The easiest one to spot is the Zelda reference as O'Connell wields a golden sword while he fights the mummies at the pyramid."

I don't see this as a Zelda, let alone video game, reference. And there being throughout the movie I doubt. Can someone look into this?

I agree... Time to be bold.

[edit] Fan pages

Why are there outdated fan pages listed in the external links? They contribute nothing more than the other "official" sites, and they are more focused on the page owner's fiction and preferance than the original movies. Fan site advertisement seems a little below Wikipedia's standard, IMHO. I'd understand if these sites kept a count on the latest rumors of the project, but they're so outdated they're growing mold. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.250.246.42 (talk) 13:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Evelyn/Eve's name

After reading the article, I thought the use of the name Evelyn is not the 'common' name that the character uses. Eve is used mostly throughout the film. Don't know if anybody agrees or disagrees with me. Discuss! 86.139.224.101 23:48, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whatever Religion Works

I noticed that just as Beni agrees to help the mummy, he takes serveral chains around his neck and cycle thru them in an effort to save his life. Does enyone know what the religions he was chanting to were? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.250.130.215 (talk) 00:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC).

I may have misunderstood your question, because the answer to it seems a little too simple; He held up a Christian cross, an Islamic symbol, a Buddha figure and finally the Jewish star symbol. He also had a pendant of the Hindu god Shiva on him, but Beni didn't spare him a prayer. Meresankh 20:35, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I knew about the cross and the jewish star but i could'nt make out the other 2 symbols. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.250.130.215 (talk) 05:27, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
