:17:00
He was the second pharaoh
of the 19th dynasty...
:17:03
...the wealthiest pharaoh of all.
:17:04
Good. l like this fellow.
:17:06
-l like him a lot.
-l've already dated the map.
:17:08
lt's almost 3,000 years old.
And if you look at the hieratic just here...
:17:13
...it's Hamunaptra.
:17:14
Dear God, don't be ridiculous.
:17:17
We're scholars, not treasure hunters.
:17:19
Hamunaptra's a myth
told by ancient Arab storytellers...
:17:22
...to amuse Greek and Roman tourists.
:17:24
l know all the blather that the city
is protected by the curse of a mummy...
:17:28
...but my research leads me to believe
that the city may have actually existed.
:17:33
Do you mean the Hamunaptra?
:17:35
Yes. The City of the Dead...
:17:37
...where the pharaohs presumably hid
the wealth of Egypt.
:17:40
Yes, in a big underground
treasure chamber.
:17:44
Come on. Everybody knows the story.
:17:46
The necropolis was rigged to sink
into the sand on Pharaoh's command.
:17:49
Turn a switch and it would disappear
into the sand with the treasure.
:17:53
As the Americans would say,
it's all fairy tales and hokum--
:17:56
My goodness! Look at that!
:18:05
You've burnt the part with the lost city.
:18:08
lt's for the best, l'm sure.
:18:10
Many men have wasted their lives
in the foolish pursuit of Hamunaptra.
:18:14
No one's ever found it.
:18:17
Most have never returned.
:18:19
Come! Step over the threshold.
:18:22
Welcome to Cairo Prison,
my humble home.
:18:25
You told me that you got it
on a dig down in Thebes.
:18:27
-l was mistaken.
-You lied.
:18:29
l lie to everybody. Why not to you?
:18:31
-l'm your sister.
-Which makes you more gullible.
:18:33
-You stole it from a drunk!
-Picked his pocket, actually.
:18:37
Stop being ridiculous.
:18:39
-Why exactly is this man in prison?
-This l did not know.
:18:42
But when l heard you were coming,
l asked him that myself.
:18:46
What did he say?
:18:47
He said he was just looking
for a good time.
:18:56
-This is the man that you stole it from?
-Yes, exactly.
:18:58
-Why don't we go sniff out a spot of tiffin--
-Who are you?
