Blood of the Mummy
A violent mummy, a reincarnated princess, and an ancient love—In this episode of the Mummy Movie Podcast, we delve into 'Blood of the Mummy' from 2019.
In the first part, we shall examine the historical accuracy of the film and use it as a jumping-off point to discuss interesting topics in Egyptology.
In the second part, I will review the film and rate it out of ten.

Ka (kꜢ) = Part of the Egyptian soul. After death, the Ka could enter likenesses of the deceased. The Ka needed to be sustained by food and drink, and as such, likenesses of the deceased could receive offerings.
Ba (bꜢ) = Part of the Egyptian Soul. This is similar to an individual's unique personality. After death, the Ba could leave the tomb and also travel between the land of the living and the land of the dead. However, it had to return to the body each night to help the Ka receive sustenance.
Khar = a measurement of grain in ancient Egypt. This was one of the most common measurements in the ancient Egyptian economy.
Deben = a weight of metal. During the Ramesside Period (Approximately 1292–1069 BC), a Deben would have been about 90 grams in weight.
