Spelling/grammar fix (added a missing 'a' to Pharaohs), Added example (from the novel Hell House by Richard Matheson).


** Played with in ''Pyramids''. When the King first returns to life, as a mummy, he is quite blind until he stumbles around and finds the one jar with his eyes. Then, he gently picks them up. Since he died very recently, this is reasonable. But, when [[spoiler:ALL of the many past Pharohs]] come to life, this trope is played straight. After all, the Kingdom has been around for 7,000 years.
