Synopsis

Two young, unemployed archaeologists in Egypt uncover clues pointing to the burial site of the ancient Egyptian princess Ananka. Securing financial support from an eccentric magician and his attractive daughter, they venture into the desert, where they are pursued by a malevolent high priest and the living mummy Kharis, who serve as Ananka’s tomb guardians.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
