we were watching "The Mummy(1999) with Brendon Frazier and then started the Sequel made in 2001 and the name Thebes came up and it is associated with Luxor now I think.
Also, I think Brendon Frazier and the old cast are making a 3rd Mummy movie it appears now too 25 years after the Sequel which is interesting too!
