History

The Book of the Dead was used by the High Priest of the Pharoah. After his affair with the Pharoah's wife, he attempted to use the book to resurrect her but was stopped before the ritual was complete. The Book itself remained in the city of Hamanuptra where it remained for centuries until it ws discovered by archeaologists. Evelyn Canrahan opened the book with the special key and read from it which freed the mummy Imhotep.

Once awakened, Imhotep took the Book back in order to complete his ancient task of resurrecting his beloved. However, Evie's brother Jonathan Canrahan took it and used it to turn the mummies guards against him. Evie then used the Book of the Dead to strip Imhotep of his immortality in order to kill him.
