** Considering that the residents of the pyramid have reentered society (at least enough to occasionally venture outside for burritos), an AdventurerArchaeologist stumbling across the mummy doesn't seem likely. The next outsider to enter the pyramid is going to encounter a society of living mummies who know Toth-Ra's weakness and will happily answer all questions pertaining to him. The only reason Toth-Ra got reanimated in the first place is because no one knew it was possible or how to prevent it. Unless you mean a far-future archaeologist, as removed from the present as the present is from Toth-Ra's lifetime, allowing him to once again fade to myth.

* The pyramid's community has lived sealed off from the world for thousands of years, but only seems to have about a hundred people. In real life, a self-contained population can only remain genetically healthy with a much larger population… or ruthless culling of genetic defectives.

** While it seems strange that the Living Mummies would be willing to fight for burritos but not for, say, more sunlight or smaller sacrifices, it actually demonstrates relative deprivation theory. The Living Mummies perceive their meager crops and tiny living space as the status quo, so they don't seek to change that -- but introducing a new commodity to their society that is apparently commonplace on the outside induces them to rebel to obtain it.

* Toth-Ra is WeakenedByTheLight. So, the door at the top of the pyramid, that allows sunlight in, was most surely built in to have a way to stop him in case he got back to life, as it eventually happened.

* When spotting Louie behind his throne, Toth-Ra, instead of charging towards him, grabs a casket and tosses it at him. Since the throne is beyond the sigil, directly going for Louie would make the mummy inanimate, so he resorts to throwing things at Louie instead.

** Scrooge himself ironically is ambivalent about this. Despite being an adventure capitalist himself, he's personally quite anti-consumerist and as an AdventureArchaeologist, consumerism and its spread, takes away the joys of adventuring, making every place just the same, ruining the glamour of "the greatest archeological find of our time" (as he points out), and he's dismayed that the Living Mummies give Launchpad a priceless artifact (which Scrooge values) while they give Scrooge a burrito they made by themselves (which they value but Scrooge doesn't).

* The way Scrooge and Launchpad convince the Living Mummies to revolt against Toth-Ra is actually a nice allegory for American foreign policy.
** Toth-Ra, as a PuppetKing, gives the denizens of the pyamid basic necessities and regulates and controls their life, giving them no direct reason to revolt. So Scrooge's usual arguments to get them to revolt doesn't work but Launchpad chugging his burrito gives them a sense of the outside world and what they are really missing (literally, since the contents of the burrito wrap, and the burrito itself, are all New World crops outside the ken of the Mediterranean and the Nile Delta).
** Launchpad's big rebellious speech about the burrito, and the multiple various kinds available outside, demonstrates how consumerism is associated with freedom in America, which we see when the rebels initially fight for the burrito but then decide that it's really about freedom. But at the end, once they're outside, they line up near a taco-stand, which might be an American chain restaurant.
