Mummies Alive!

Mummies Alive! is an animated series created by Louis Gasin from DIC Productions, L.P. and Northern Lights Entertainment. It originally aired for one season in 1997. The show was part of a general trend of "mummymania" in 1990's pop culture. The series opens in ancient Egypt, where an evil sorcerer kills a prince in order to gain immortality. He is entombed alive, but is revived in 20th-century San Francisco. He finds the prince's reincarnation in a local boy and resumes his quest for immortality. The prince's Egyptian bodyguards are resurrected in order to protect the boy. They use the power of their patron deity Ra to transform into more powerful forms. Other Egyptian gods and spirits soon visit the modern world, including Anubis, Set, Geb, Apep, Bast, Sekhmet, and Bes.
