Revenge of the Mummy

I found this picture 𓏏𓅱𓏏 from 2004 and it was too good to not share!! As everyone knows, my absolute favorite movie is The Mummy and it was so exciting when the Revenge of the Mummy ride opened at Universal Studios!! One of the ways the ride was promoted was a Statue of Anubis π“‡‹π“ˆ–π“Šͺ𓅱𓃣 at City Walk!!Β

I was about 12 years old in this picture (can you believe I was reading hieroglyphs π“ŠΉπ“Œƒπ“ͺ) and finding this picture 𓏏𓅱𓏏 brought back the memories of how excited I was to see the Statue of Anubis π“‡‹π“ˆ–π“Šͺ𓅱𓃣 because it was exactly like the one in the movie! I wish this statue 𓏏𓅱𓏏𓀾 was still at Universal Studios! 

Here is some hieroglyphic vocabulary that is associated with β€œThe Mummy”:

π“‡π“…“π“Š΅π“π“Šͺ – Imhotep

π“‡‹π“ˆ–π“Šͺ𓅱𓃣 – Anubis

𓉐𓂋𓏏𓂻𓅓𓉔𓂋𓏲𓇳𓏺𓍼𓏺 – Book of the Dead

𓇋𓁹𓅱𓀾 – Mummy

π“‡‹π“ π“ˆ–π“‡³π“Ί – Amun-Ra

𓐍π“Šͺ𓂋𓂋𓆣 – Scarab

I wish this statue was still there – I still don’t know why they would remove such an incredible recreation of a beloved movie prop!
