Soon the sun can seen raising into the red sky as the next is shown.two diggers are then seen pulling an ancient box with hieroglyphics on it out of the hidden compartment of the Statue of Anubis before they sent it down gently.ounce they do they walk away as the doctor and the Americans surround the ancient boxes Burns blows dust off it as the professor uses a cloth to wipe off the top. But just says Burns goes to open it the professor stops him"there is a curse upon this chest"he says as he looks at the hieroglyphics after wiping all the dust off but david wasn't having any of it"curse my ass."

"Who cares"Henderson says carelessly all he wanted was the treasure.

"Have care, Mr Henderson. In these holograms that which was set forth in ancient times.... Is a strong today as it was then"he warns him as he pockets the cloth while they were looking cautiously at the box wondering what he was talking about."we understand what's it say"he ask the professor who goes to one of the edges then translate the hieroglyphics in ancient Egyptian the Americans don't understand what he said"death will come on Swift wings.... To whomsoever opens this chest."it was silent for a moment before a strange noise as her as when is her gusting all around them causing the fire on the burning torches to flicker rapidly as it slightly darkens in the room causing the diggers to become frightened as they murmur to one another as the wind continues before the wind blows stronger causing the diggers to become even more frightened as they drop their torches and run out of the room as the Americans a professors watch as they run.

Beni starts to get nervous "we should not be here.this is not good."he says as he looks around while the others ignore him as they all crutch beside the ancient chest."it says there is one...the undead... Who, if brought back to life, is bound by sacred law.... To consummate this curse"the professor translates more of the hieroglyphics.

"Let's make sure we don't bring anyone back from the dead then"David slightly jokes but the professor brings their attention back to him as he continues translating"he will kill all who opened this chest... And assimilate their organs and fluids... And in so doing he will regenerate... And no longer be the undead. But a plague upon this Earth"he finishes off as he looks slightly forward.

"Well we did come all this way for nothing"Henderson says as they get ready to open the chest but Beni starts to back away slowly "it's the curse.ita the curse.its the curse! beware of the curse!"Beni shouts as he starts freaking out realizing what curse this is as he runs dack out the way they came.

"Stupid superstitious bastard"David says as burns places a cloth on one end before grabbing ahold of it as Henderson grabs the other as the grunt trying to pull the top off after a minute they were able to pull it off as a gaint cloud of dust burst out of it as they cough and try to wave away the dust.

Soon in another chamber moona and Evie watch Rick and Jonathan clean the sarcophagus against the stone wall."oh I've dreamt about this since I was a little girl"Evie says with an excited smiles as moona just shakes her head at her best friend.

"You dream about dead guys"Rick asked with a slight raise of an eyebrow as Jonathan digs around in his pocket for the key to unlock the sarcophagus.but evie wasn't paying attention as she noticed the sacred spells have been removed. She gasp making them look as well"look his sacred spells have been chiseled off. This man must have been condemned not only in this life but in the next."she explained while Jonathan inserts the key in place as he turns it"tough break"Rick comments

"Yeah I'm all tears. Now let's see who's inside shall we"Jonathan grunts after turning the key before pulling it out tossing it to his side. Him and Rick grab each side of the top of the coffin as they use all their strength to pop it off as the tension builds Evie looks on intently well Moona started looking at the coffin more cautiously as a bad feeling start settling in her stomach.soon the top pops off with dust as hissing can be heard as a mummies upper half pops out with a crocked jaw as they all scream from shock.

Everyone breathing heavily."oh my God I hate it when these things do that"Evie says ounce everyone was to catch there breath but they were still looking at the mummy very confused"is he supposed to look like that" cuz they were sure it wasn't supposed to look anything like that.

"No I've never seen a mummy look like this before"Evie starts off while taking a good look at the mummy "he looks like he still--still-"the others help her out pointing off that he was still juicy."yes he must be more then 3,000 years old...and well it looks as if he's still... Decomposing."she finished off her explanation.

"She's right no mommy has ever looked like this before there are more dried up I guess she could say but anything she's right this is not normal"moona says as she continues to look at the mummy as that bad feeling grows worse than her stomach before Rick noticed something"hey look at that"cause them all to turn to the top of the coffin looking inside of it before they all walk to it crunching down"what do you make of this"

Evie stares in horror as she places her hand as she feels the nail carvings"my God these marks were made with... Fingernails. This man was buried alive and he left a message... Death is only the beginning"before slightly whispers and hissing could be heard as they all fall slowly looked up at The mummy as a close-up as shown of its face that's the hissing and whispers continue.

Back with the Americans once they were able to clear the dust the doctor crutches down as he unfolds the cloth showing a giant black book with ancient hieroglyphics carved in it"oh my God it does exist The book of the Dead"he says as he gently and carefully picks up the book.

"A book? Who cares about a book where the hell is the treasure?"David ask annoyed.

"This gentleman... This is treasure"he says with awe as they all start to stand up along with the professor.

"Well I wouldn't you for a brass--"Henderson starts off as he slightly kicks the chest causing the front panel to open showing sacred jars while one looked broken they all look to see what was inside and they looked at economic jars with greed and awe

The Americans crutch down to get a closer look"there's your treasure gentleman."they all began to smirk finally finding some treasure.

"Now we're on to something"burns voice is heard in the background as a close-up is shown of the sacred novick jars.
