Mistress of the Mummies by Bryan Baugh.
Ötzi the Iceman is the world’s oldest wet mummy. Discovered in 1991, Ötzi’s body was found in a melting glacier high in the Alps. Scientists believed he lived around 3300 B.C. His remains have been studied extensively since then and have given us a window into life nearly 5,000 years ago. We now know what he looked like (bearded and tattooed), what his last meal was (goat meat and bread), and how he died (murder).

“The Mummy and the Curse of the Jackal” aka “The Mummy vs The Were-Jackal
When a great concept is wasted…
A reanimated Egyptian battling a Jackal man (were-jackal?) in Las Vegas for a reincarnated Egyptian princess. Would make a great fantasy monster movie if not for miniscule budget and lack of filmmaking talent. That same year, footage from this was used in "Dracula, The Dirty Old Man” which used bad movie footage with a wacky dub job.
The “Aztec Mummy” film series from Mexico.
The first film actually pretty good and has a genuinely creepy atmosphere. But, the sequels got progressively cheesy.
Interesting side note. The filmmakers had a poor grasp on Mesoamerican cultures. The Inca practiced mummification, not the Aztecs who practiced cremation. The film also makes reference to hieroglyphs. The Mayans were the only Mesoamerican culture to have such a writing system, not the Aztecs.
