A cursed amulet, a possessed child, and an evil ancient Egyptian god. In this episode of the Mummy Movie Podcast, we examine Manhattan Baby (1982).
As well as reviewing the film, we also use it as a jumping off point to get to know a fascinating Pharaoh from the 5th Dynasty, named Userkaf.
Our historical question: Who was Userkaf, and what was his association with the sun?
