Synopsis

Geologist Sami goes to Luxor to oversee oil exploration. He is told that drilling is prohibited because the area is used as a burial ground for the Nile Brides. Sami sees a beautiful girl dressed as a Nile Bride named Hamis, who demands that he stop drilling. She tells him that she is the daughter of Aten, the sun god, and the last Nile Bride, and that her father sent her to Earth to prevent the desecration of the Nile Brides' tombs.[5]
