Just a movie observation - The Mummy

Hi there,

Just recently I was watching the movie called The Mummy. This is the one that stars Brendan Fraiser. I have seen this movie a number of times and I still like it especially the opening sequence and the music. No this is not a film review, just that I was thinking that in the part of the movie where, Arnold Vosloo's character, 'Imhotep' gets mummified alive, that how come if he was mummified alive, that later in the movie we see the 5 sacred canopic jars ( which contain his vital organs ) after they sealed his sarcophagus. So the question is, if he was buried alive how come his vital organs are in those jars?

They missed that one!

The team of Americans, meanwhile, discover a box containing the black Book of the Dead, accompanied by canopic jars carrying Anck-su-Namun's preserved organs; each of the Americans takes a jar as loot.

The movie begins in Egypt, circa 1290 BC. High priest Imhotep engages an affair with Anck-su-Namun, the mistress of Pharaoh Seti I—other men are forbidden to touch her.

hope it helps

Thanks BlitzKrieg. I was under the assumption that it was his jars and not hers. Thanks also for looking it up on Wikipedia, didn't think of doing that

Cheers
