Thousand's
of years ago there once was the Scorpion
King, a great general who lead a campaign
of terror throughout Ancient
Egypt. During the last battle of
that campaign he was defeated and
he and his men retreated into the
dessert. When he was the only one
left, he struck a deal with the
god Anubis. He would give Anubis
his soul for all eternity if
Anubis would grant him the power
to defeat and conquer Egypt.
Anubis gave the Scorpion King his
army of Anubis and created for him
the Oasis of Am Shere as his base.
Soon, Anubis' Army reigned terror
on Egypt and all were defeated. Upon
the finish of the final battle,
Anubis took his bounty for
assisting the Scorpion King, his
soul.
Speed
the clock up a lot to the
1930's and zero in on the lovely
Evelyn O'Connell. She and her
husband uncover the mythical
Bracelet of Anubis and a whole
whirlwind of things take
place. It is a race between
them and Imhotep and his minions.
You see Evelyn's son, Alex accidentally
put on the bracelet starting an
ancient prophecy of the Scorpion
King, allowing him to come back to
life. The Bracelet is a map that
leads them to AM Shere. the final
resting place of the King. First
it was to have been Imhotep to
battle the Scorpion King and
retain ownership of Anubis' Army.
Bu that didn't happen. Instead
Rick O'Connell, newly discovered
warrior of God, defeated him and
sent him back to Anubis.
It
was really a shame we didn't get
to see much of The Scorpion King
in The Mummy Returns. He is
another tragic character that
really in the short time you see
him, grows on you. Of course it
could be the muscles and near
nakedness of the man too! But we will
find out more upon the release of
The Scorpion King (also known as
The Mummy III). So be sure to
watch out for it!
