years later, Imhotep is masquerading as a modern Egyptian named Ardath Bey. He calls upon Sir Josephs son Frank David Manners and Prof. Pearson Leonard Mudie. He shows them where to dig to find Ankhesenamons tomb. The archaeologists find the tomb, give the mummy and the treasures to the Cairo Museum, and thank Ardath Bey for the information.Imhotep encounters Helen Grosvenor Zita Johann, a woman bearing a striking resemblance to the Princess. Believing her to be Ankhesenamons reincarnation, he attempts to kill her, with the intention of mummifying her, resurrecting her, and making her his bride. She is saved when she remembers her past life and prays to the goddess Isis to save her. The statue of Isis raises its arm and emits a beam of light that destroys the Scroll of Thoth, thereby reducing Imhotep to dust. At the urge of Dr. Muller, Frank calls Helen back to the world of the living while the Scroll of Thoth burns. ........
