## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Desert dawn, 1926. A torn papyrus flutters from a soldier’s kit. A scholar’s muttered incantation finds teeth in flesh.

A thirty-century curse slots into a twentieth-century spine.

Dials turn like tomb gears beneath Hollywood’s first full-throated Egyptian night.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, dread
