But just before the family can be killed by one of the thieves, Evelyn disturbs a booby trap that guards the Scorpion King’s golden bracelet, unleashing the destructive power of the Nile. Additionally, Evelyn has visions of events from the distant past, involving Anck-su-namun (Patricia Velasquez), whose spirit was previously destined to be inserted into Evelyn’s body during a demonic ritual.
But danger awaits, as mercenary treasure hunters working for a corrupt British Museum curator (Alun Armstrong) close in on their position.

As the last man standing, the Scorpion King made a pact with the god Anubis, who raised the Oasis of Ahm Shere and allowed the King to lead armies of supernatural soldiers. But after a harsh, seven-year campaign, he was defeated, with his scattered forces driven deep into the desert, where they would perish one by one to the elements.
