History WMG / TheMummyTrilogy

[[WMG: The 2017 remake will reveal this trilogy is cannon to Universal's planned shared horror movie verse.]]

** The series taking place in an alternate history...seems to be implied by the ArtisticLicense:History, yeah. That being said, TropesAreNotBad.

* Alternately, she was just as cowardly as Ankh-Su-Namun, but the manner of her death obscured the fact. Imhotep assumed she stabbed herself courageously to be with him in a future life; in reality, she did it because she knew that the vengeful Medjai would ''[[AndIMustScream do to her what they did to her lover]]'' if she didn't die rather than be captured.

[[WMG: Ackh-Su-Namun's reincarnation is [[BadassDecay weaker and more cowardly]] than she was in her Egyptian past life.]]
The original Ackh-Su-Namun may not have abandoned Imhotep, run away from her fight with Evy, get beaten by Jonathan, etc.

[[WMG: The whole "bracelet will suck the life out of you if you don't reach the pyramid in time" provision in the second movie was made up by Imhotep just to get Jack to cooperate.]]

Mummies were not represented in ''Van Helsing'', but they have a common studio and director (except for the third Mummy film). Van Helsing's organization isn't in touch with the Medjai because they keep to themselves and Imhotep was the first mummy to wake up ever. (This does lead to AllMythsAreTrue.)

[[WMG:The Mummy films and Film/VanHelsing are in the same universe]]

Nearly everything that the films pass off as fact about Egypt or China seems to be in there for the sole purpose of [[SomewhereAPaleontologistIsCrying making learned people cry]]. This Troper was writhing on the floor in pain upon hearing that bit about an Egyptian New Year. Also, why don't they just use Qin Shi Huangdi's name? I saw no reason for the Emperor's [[NoNameGiven name to be witheld]].

* Or, they are reincarnated after death in an endless cycle. [[spoiler: Fits with the above theory about Rick being the reincarnation of a Medjai sworn to protect Princess Nefetiri for all eternity, no?]]

* Alex. Also sometime inbetween films, a nebbish, adolescent Alex started [[IWantToBeARealMan wanting to be seen as a(n independent) man]]. He took to using an [[FakeAmerican American accent]] [[WellDoneSonGuy like his father’s]] and ObfuscatingStupidity to appear BookDumb. Underneath the swagger, he is still [[QuintessentialBritishGentleman a well-read, stiff-upper-lip Brit]]. All in-movie blundering counts as evidence of him BecomingTheMask to some degree. This is either HiddenDepths or UnfortunateImplications.

They're in charge of keeping the world safe from Imhotep, if he was brought back from the dead. So, in order to make things right, they become immortal in-order to protect the world and it wears off when Imhotep has risen.

Everybody's already thinking it, I'm just saying it. We already know that he's one thanks to the tattoo on his wrist, and that Evy is [[spoiler:the reincarnation of Pharaoh Seti I's daughter Nefetiri. It would make an incredible amount of sense for Rick to be a reincarnated Medjai charged with the task of protecting Nefetiri, or her lover at the time.]]

[[WMG:The movie Film/TheMummy was an adaptation based on Evy O'Connell's first novel]]
This was Universal Pictures, already known to have adapted {{Literature/Dracula}} and {{Frankenstein}} to film. Adapting Evy's novel for their Mummy movie makes complete sense!
