Molly Kirnan, a grad student, arrives on the scene and meets Ben-David who's working with her professor Dr. Bryan Swatek among others as they start their excavation of the site.

Inside the tomb they discover the sarcophagus of Aneh-Tet, a mythical priestess who worshiped Set and was banished “across the great water” for claiming to be a living god.

The next day, as the students arrive, and discover Swatek and the security guard's mummified bodies while Molly waits for her sister Kevyn to bring her a change of clothes at her motel.

At the tomb, Aneh-Tet is recognized by Ben-David who pledges his servitude to her if she spares his life and she claims a third victim (a police deputy).

Molly and Carter are unable to find Kevyn and they realize the mummies have taken her as a virgin is needed for a final sacrifice so Aneh-Tet can begin world domination.

Several mummies chase after Kevyn as Sheriff Jones and acting deputy Sam arrive at the dig site, having found the bodies at the motel.

Molly uses the sacrificial knife to stab Aneh-Tet before her ritual is complete causing her to return to her mummified state and her legion of undead to disintegrate.

The review makes mention that the DVD cover art lists that it "stars" Bruce Boxleitner and Zach Galligan, yet the two share barely 10 minutes of total screen time combined.
