In 3067 BC, the List of characters in The Mummy series#Mathayus (The Scorpion King) leads his army on a campaign to conquer the known world. Seven years later, his army is defeated while attacking Thebes, Egypt and exiled to the desert of Ahm Shere, where his men die of heat exhaustion. After vowing to give Anubis his soul for the power to defeat his enemies, an oasis forms to hide the Scorpion King's pyramid and he receives a legion of jackal warriors. The Army of Anubis sweeps across Egypt, but once their task is finished, Anubis claims the Scorpion King's soul and his army.
In ancient Egyptian times, a desert warrior rises up against the evil army that is laying waste to his homeland. When he captures the enemy's key sorcerer, the resistance must prepare for an epic and final showdown.
In ancient China, a brutal and tyrannical warlord, Emperor Han, unites the country's Seven Warring States into an empire and becomes the Qin Shi Huang. He orders the construction of the Great Wall of China to bury and curse his dead enemies, eventually learning power over the traditional Chinese Wu Xing elements of fire, water, earth, wood and metal. Emperor Han soon grows fearful that his death will end all he has accomplished and summons Zi Yuan, a Magician (fantasy) who is said to know the secret of immortality. She seemingly casts a spell on Han in Sanskrit, before he executes General Ming, his trusted friend and Zi Yuan's secret lover. He stabs Zi Yuan with a dagger, but having foreseen this event, she immolates and imprisons the Emperor and his soldiers in clay, transforming his army into the Terracotta Army, and flees.
