''Thought safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient queen whose destiny was unjustly taken from her, is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension. From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, '''''The Mummy''''' brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.''<ref name="Tom Cruise's The Mummy Gets an Official Synopsis">[http://movieweb.com/mummy-reboot-2017-synopsis-tom-cruise/ Tom Cruise's The Mummy Gets an Official Synopsis].

==Plot==
 
===[[Assassination of Menehptre]]===
 
5000 years ago, [[Ahmanet|Princess Ahmanet]] was promised by her father [[Menehptre|King Menehptre]] that she would inherit his throne upon his death. However, when Menehptre bore a son, this left Ahmanet, a woman, ineligible to claim the throne. Ahmanet summoned the Egyptian god of death, [[Set]], in a blood ritual that involved her [[Assassination of Menehptre|killing]] Menehptre as well as her infant brother. The blood of her family gave Ahmanet incredible power, and Ahmanet promised Set that she would give him the body of a mortal man to inhabit, so that they may rule the world as king and queen. However, as she prepared to sacrifice [[Minor Characters/The Mummy#Ahmanet's lover|her lover]], Ahmanet's actions were discovered, her lover was executed, and she was mummified alive, assumed dead for 5000 years.
 
 
===[[Battle of Mosul]]===
 
In [[Timeline#2017|2017]], [[Nick Morton]] and [[Chris Vail]], armed with a map, prepare to look for treasure in the city of [[Mosul]], [[Iraq]], so that they may sell it on the black market. Vail, however, believes the mission to be too dangerous. He and Morton argue about whether or not they should go into the city, given that it is full of militants and that the "treasure" was a curse.
