Plot

Gabe Sanchez, a twelve year old, is going with his parents to see the pyramids. However, when his parents are called away on a business trip, he is left in the care of his Uncle Ben. Gabe doesn't like Uncle Ben's daughter, twelve-year-old Sari, because she always scares him and makes fun of him.

Uncle Ben is currently working on a project in the pyramid, trying to find the hidden chamber of Priestess Khala. He takes the two kids to the pyramid where they meet Ahmed, who is from the University watching their progress in the pyramid. They find out that he has warned them to stop, but Uncle Ben pays no attention to the superstition of a curse.

But soon, things begin to go wrong. Workers are frightened out of their wits. Gabe and Sari are kidnapped by Ahmed and only barely escape. Gabe gets lost and falls into a hole into a room of the pyramid and lands in the Priestess Khala's chamber, which is filled with mummies.

When Sari finds him, they are excited about telling Uncle Ben of their discovery. However, they are confronted by Ahmed, and they find themselves having to face a nightmare: being mummified alive!
