twenty seventeen tom Cruise version of The Mummy. Question three

m Hoo Tep is accidentally awakened? Question four? What is

12
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:09.840

13
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:17.959
became famous after several expedition members died. Question five in

14
00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:22.359

in swarms and are associated with the Mummy's powers. We'll

16
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:31.439
be right back with these ancient answers after this break.

17
00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:38.159
Welcome back, trivia fans. Let's reveal today's answers. Question one

18
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.640
Who starred in the nineteen thirty two The Mummy? Answer

19
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:47.239
Boris Karloff. Fresh off his success as Frankenstein's Monster, Karloff

20
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:52.000
played the resurrected ancient Egyptian priest m Hotep. His eerie

21
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:56.400
performance in Jack Pierce's elaborate makeup helped establish the Mummy

22
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:01.560
as a classic movie monster. Tzi two. What is the

23
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:06.760
Princess's name? In the twenty seventeen film answer Princess Amanad.

24
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.560
The film reimagined the Mummy as a female character, played

25
00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.280
by Sophia Boutella. This version departed from previous films by

26
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.240
making the Mummy an evil ancient Egyptian princess rather than

27
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.879
a priest. Question three. What ancient city is featured in

28
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.599
the nineteen ninety nine remake, Answer Haminoptra, the City of

29
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.080
the Dead. While fictional, the city was inspired by real

30
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:35.120
Egyptian archaeological sites. The film follows adventurer Rick O'Connell and

31
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:39.759
librarian Evelyn Carnahan as they accidentally awaken him Hotep while

32
00:02:39.800 --> 00:02:44.439
searching for treasure. Question four, What is the famous curse?

33
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:47.719
Answer the Curse of the Pharaohs or King Tut's curse.

34
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.759
The legend claims that anyone who disturbs a pharaoh's tomb

35
00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:55.280
will suffer bad luck or death. While no actual curse

36
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.840
was found inscribed on Tutonkammon's tomb, several people connected to

37
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:03.000
the nineteen twenty two discovery died in the following years,

38
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:08.240
fueling the legend. Question five. What insects swarm in the

39
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.240
nineteen ninety nine film answer scaab beatles. These carnivorous beatles

40
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:17.000
burrow under the skin in the film, creating one of

41
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:21.800
the movie's most memorable and disturbing scenes. Real scaab beatles

42
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.879
were sacred symbols in ancient Egypt, but were definitely not

43
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.000
flesh eaters. That concludes today's five Daily Trivia questions. I'm

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:31.599
