"You want to see what I have seen? You will, when I kill you."

―Ahmanet to Jenny Halsey

Princess Ahmanet is an Ancient Egyptian princess that was promised the position of pharaoh, only for it to be taken by her younger brother, which led to her making a deal with Set, the Egyptian god of death, storms, and evil, and killing her family. However, her actions were discovered and she was mummified alive, her deal with Set allowing her to cheat death itself. This allowed her to place a curse on Nick Morton when he, along with Jenny Halsey and Chris Vail discovered her 5000-year-old sarcophagus in northern Iraq. When the group tried to transport her sarcophagus to London via plane, Ahmanet possessed Vail and summoned a murder of crows, which caused the plane to crash. Ahmanet's curse on Morton later allowed her to find him in London, allowing her to capture him and nearly implant Set into him with the Dagger of Set. However, Ahmanet was captured by the organization Prodigium before she could.

Ahmanet, after finally arriving at Prodigium Headquarters, managed to summon a bug to possess a Prodigium technician, which allowed her to escape and wreak havoc in London. Ahmanet's undead minions managed to kill the Prodigium soldiers in the London Underground, allowing her to retrieve the Dagger of Set once more. Ahmanet found Halsey and Morton, drowned Halsey, and tried once more to implant Set into Morton. However, Morton implanted himself with Set, giving him the strength to defeat Ahmanet, turning her into a shriveled corpse, and resurrect Halsey. Ahmanet was later placed inside a pool of mercury in Prodigium Headquarters to prevent her from escaping again.

Personality

Ahmanet is nothing more or less than the ultimate personification of evil, darkness, violence, murder, and, most of all, destruction. She is extremely power-hungry, arrogant, ruthless, and murderous; she even murdered her own father who promised her to become princess one day, after she was the one who was responsible for the death of the current Pharaoh.

Abilities and Powers

"Legend has it she's a being of unimaginable power. Now she's using you to regain them."

―Jenny Halsey

Powers

• Necromantic witchcraft: Ahmanet currently exists as a living spirit within her own undead corpse. Her power stems from her pact with the god Set, which keeps her soul earthbound and her body partially alive. As an undead being, Ahmanet's powers stem from necromancy rooted within ancient Egyptian mummification, and are fueled by the dark forces which strengthen her. Her great rage for her stolen destiny also fuel her and strengthen her powers further still. The exact limit of her abilities have yet to be determined, nor have her limitations been shown to be connected to any ancient gods or darker spirits from the Underworld.
  • Animal manipulation: Ahmanet sent a group of camel spiders at the team trying to uncover her sarcophagus. She later sent a group of crows into a plane carrying her sarcophagus, causing the plane to crash, as well as sending a pack of rats to attack Nick Morton.
  • Flesh consumption: Ahmanet consumed human flesh in order to regain her strength after her escape from Prodigium Headquarters.
  • Hallucination manifestation: Ahmanet is able to give other people visions, using them to communicate with Morton on one instance.
  • Immortality: Ahmanet, due to her pact with Set, is unable to die.
  • Possession: Ahmanet possessed Chris Vail after his death.
  • Resurrection: Ahmanet is apparently able to revive deceased persons, as she resurrected Morton after he died in a plane crash.
  • Superhuman endurance: Ahmanet was able to survive a direct hit from an empowered Morton. She also survived having mercury forcibly sent into her bloodstream, although she was forced to vomit it up afterwards.
  • Superhuman strength: Ahmanet was able to punch Morton and send him flying.

Abilities

• Exceptional Intelligence: Ahmanet is extremely sophisticated, wise and smart, even before becoming an undead being.
• Master Combatant: Before her mummification, Ahmanet was able to fight off several men that were bigger than her wielding a staff.
• Persuasive Skills and Charisma: Even before she gained her dark powers, Ahmanet proved to be charismatic as she could easily persuade and manipulate other people to get what she wanted, including her father to help her become a princess.

Weaknesses

• Mercury: Ahmanet's powers will not work when she is exposed to mercury. Her sarcophagus was originally found submerged in a pool of mercury. She had mercury pumped into her bloodstream when she was captured by Prodigium, and she was submerged in a pool of mercury upon her recapture.

Equipment

• Staff: Before her mummification, Ahmanet owned a staff. It is unknown what happened to it after her mummification.
• Dagger of Set: Ahmanet sought this dagger in order to kill Nick Morton and give Set the body of a mortal man to inhabit. The dagger was powered by a ruby located in the pommel, which was destroyed when Morton fused himself with Set.

Behind the Scenes

Ahmanet was portrayed in The Mummy by Sofia Boutella. On playing Ahmanet, Boutella remarked, "It was important to me that this character had a backstory, you know? It’s the first time that you see a female Mummy. She can’t be just a monster walking around scaring people. There needs to be something significant her shining through. To explore that psychology in her, what happened to her as a woman: Being deceived, because there’s a boy who comes into the picture all of a sudden."

Trivia

• Ahmanet is loosely based on the Egyptian goddess Amunet.^{[Citation needed]}
• Ahmanet is not a possible Ancient Egyptian name. The similar name Amunet is an Ancient Greek version of the Egyptian name I-m-n-t. I-m-n means, roughly, the Hidden One, and Amunet, therefore, means "the female hidden one," or "She of Amun" (a major Egyptian god). However, Ahmanet is not a possible name for an Egyptian.
