🪙 Plot Summary
Two decades after the last battle against ancient evil, peace has blanketed the world — until an unsanctioned dig in the Valley of the Kings unleashes a force even the pharaohs feared. Princess Ahmanet has risen again, but this time her resurrection is not accidental — it’s orchestrated by a cult seeking to control death itself.
As plagues sweep modern cities, sandstorms consume deserts, and the Book of the Dead reappears, a reluctant Rick O’Connell is forced out of hiding. With his family, a cursed scholar, and unlikely allies from the shadows of the supernatural world, Rick must face the one truth he’s always feared: some evils are destined to rise… again and again.
