6* AluminumChristmasTrees: While they weren't as depicted in these movies the Medjay [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medjay really existed,]] initially as a culture that the Egyptians often hired as soldiers and guards and later as a general name for a job, namely protecting things and places important to the Pharaohs.
7* FakeMixedRace: Evelyn and her brother Jonathan both have an Egyptian mother and an English father, but are played by native British actors.
8* FakeNationality: Almost nothing ''but'' Fake Nationalities. Creator/RachelWeisz really is English, Creator/JetLi actually was born in China, and all the 'American cowboys' are played by Americans, but nobody who played an Egyptian character was actually Egyptian, or even Arab or African. Creator/OdedFehr is Israeli, Creator/ArnoldVosloo is a South African of Dutch descent (Afrikaner), Patricia Velasquez is indigenous Venezuelan (Wayuu, to be specific), Creator/ErickAvari is Indian and Wrestling/DwayneJohnson is an American--of Samoan and African heritage, mind you. O'Connell's actor is Canadian-American, Jonathan's is Scottish, Beni (who is supposed to be Hungarian) is played by an Irish-American guy from Chicago. From the third movie we have [[TheOtherDarrin Maria Bello]] (American), Creator/MichelleYeoh (Malaysian) and Russel Wong (American). Moreover, Evy and Jonathan's mother was supposedly Egyptian, but John Hannah is not of Egyptian, African or even middle-eastern descent.
