This post is a little bit different for today but thatβs okay! I have had this picture ππ ±π in my drafts for a while!
I donβt think that anyone is surprised to hear that my absolute favorite movie of all time is The Mummy (and I also love the Mummy Returns too)! Iβll never forget watching the movie for the first time when I was eleven years old with my mom. I related so much to Evie because she could read hieroglyphs πΉππͺ and loved ancient Egypt ππ ππ just like me!! Evie instantly became my favorite movie character, and she still is to this day!
At Universal Studios in Hollywood, I ran into the Golden ππππ Book π πππ of Amun-Ra ππ ππ³πΊ from the movie and felt like I met a celebrity (you can definitely see how happy I am in this picture)!! Even though the Golden Book of Amun-Ra and the Book of the Dead (as it is in the movie at least) does not exist historically, they are still such fun and iconic movie props – I always wanted one of my own!
Letβs learn some actual vocabulary associated with the movies!
ππππ – Gold
π
πππ – Papyrus Roll (Book)
ππ ππ³πΊ – Amun-Ra
ππΉπ
±πΎ – Mummy
While the movies are obviously not historically accurate, The Mummy and the Mummy Returns are my absolute favorite movies so I wanted to make this post about how much I love them! My Nonno really enjoyed them too and we would watch them together! He was always so disappointed that he couldnβt ride Revenge of the Mummy because we all loved it so much (itβs a rollercoaster and he was too old to ride it safely).
