THE MUMMY The title character in the 1932 Universal horror film '' The Mummy '' is the reanimated Prince Imhotep , who uses the alias Ardath Bey (an anagram of 'Death by Ra '). The 1999 version of '' The Mummy '', its sequel '' The Mummy Returns '', and the spinoff film '' The Scorpion King '' delve deeper into the mystical aspects of Egyptian mythology than the original version did.

STARGATE .]] The 1994 science fiction film '' Stargate '' was based around the premise that the god Ra was in fact an alien being from the planet Abydos , who served as the film's villain. The spinoff television series '' Stargate SG-1 '' has expanded this mythos by establishing that all of the Egyptian gods were members of Ra's race, the parasitic Goa'uld . Evil fictional versions of such deities as Hathor are among the recurring villains of the series. MISCELLANEOUS
