I got the book versions of the first two NATM movies and I found a mistake in one of the picture in it.

There is no bottom half of the hourglass, it’s just not there. No jed, no sand, no glass. Anyway I thought that was funny

I'm going to revert to 17 year old me who was obsessed with night at the museum for a second. So bare with me an imagine this reincarnation au.

So reincarnation is so completely not what ancient Egyptians believe it. It basically ruins the concept of an afterlife (something they lived their whole lives around, literally) by saying that after you die you're born again as a human. So let's say, for this sake, that soulmate reincarnation existed, but back then they didn't have much of a grasp on it. If they got visions of a past life they mightve chalked it up as divinic visions, especially, say if you were at a god-like status of Pharaoh.

So when Ahkmenrah's tablet was formed, it essentially stopped him for being reincarnated, tying his whole being to his old body. You however, didn't have the privilege. You, his soulmate, was buried somewhere else by Kahmenrah as a final "fuck you" to spite his little brother in the afterlife. You, having being reborn over and over for thousands of years and never finding your soulmate ever again - because he isn't being reborn.

However you've always had a love of all things ancient Egyptian. Something about it comforted you. Your past lives spoke for that; a writer, acreologist, teacher, explorer, even glimpses of a life in old streets of Memphis. It made sence then that now you worked in the British Museum when you weren't working on your degree.

One night had you working later than usual. Everyone else had gone home. The sun disappeared over the tops of buildings and darkness rose to follow it. The nightguard, having know you for weeks now, decided to let you stay a little bit longer as your finished up writing about the stela before you. Her face was knowing, she left you with the words "be careful", which at the time seemed like a far too obvious thing to say.

But when the carvings on the stela began to move, turning to look up at your with tilted heads, you thought that meant it was time to go home to bed. When you turned, finding the giant stature of Ramses II staring down at you, you almost screamed. When the sarcophagus lids of Merenkahre, Shepseheret, and Ahkmenrah started moving and the mummy's - no, fully dressed people - sat up, you practically fainted.

Well actually you did faint.

When you woke up though, looking up at the face of a man you knew you knew as your lost lover, you smiled. And so did he.

Because Octavius knows languages Kahmenrah doesn’t, does Octavius ever insult Kahmenrah behind his back (or directly to him) but just never says what it actually means if he’s asked about it?

YES !!! ALL THE TIME !!!! i kind of tried to hint at that in a chapter but i can't remember which one it was, it's the bit where octavius says something uhhh Very Rude about kahmunrah's mother as he leaves the office. he does shit like that all the time and i'm sure kahmunrah does it too lmao. the only language they have in common that isn't english is french, so i also like to imagine times where they have to talk about something in front of their colleagues / clients that’s supposed to be kept between the executives so they’ll just start speaking very quietly in french to each other lmao

ok new theory:

In Night at the Museum 3, Ahk's father doesn't mention already having a child when Ahk was born.

In Night at the Museum 2, Kahmenrah says he's a descendant of the gods on his mother's side. He also implies that Ahk's parents and his are the same.

Although incest was common in ancient egypt's royal families, if Merenkahre and Shepseheret were close relatives, it wouldn't have been only on his mother's side that Kahmenrah was a demi-god.

In NatM2 however Kahmenrah and his guards are not mummies but wax statues.

NatM2's original script states Kahmenrah murdered Ahk to get the trone.

There are fictional characters such as Darth Vader in the Smithsonian who appear in the movie.

The tablet is made to keep the family united after death in Natm3 but in Natm2 Kahmunrah uses it to open gates to hell.

Ahkmenrah never mentions Kahmenrah, and never meets him onscreen because he was not at the smithsonian.

Hence three possible theories:

Kahmenrah was the first born but his parents loved Ahk more and gave Ahk the trone, the tablet, etc. He murdered his brother and took the throne. That's widely accepted as Canon.

Kahmenrah was adopted by Merenkahre but was Shepseheret son from another marriage or their orphaned nephew (son of Merenkahre's sister, hence the "on my mother's side") they took in. He was heir presumptive to the throne but Ahkmenrah's birth set him in second place. There is no favoritism per se in the decision to make Ahk the next pharaoh, he was just first in line. Kahmenrah did kill him out of jealousy and assumed the throne. Because he murdered Ahk, or because he despised his family, he was not buried with them.

Kahmenrah as we see him in NatM2 is a wax figure, not because his body/sarcophagus was never found but because he never existed. He and his guards are on display as characters from a egyptian peplum, inspired by the life of Ahkmenrah but in which his mother is the pharaoh, not his father ("on my mother's side" and because girl power ig), in which he has an older brother cheated from the throne and in which appears the gates to hell (the reason Lincoln could smack all those hawk-guards so easily is because it's a prop not a real gate to hell) that can be opened with the tablet (because people didn't know what it was when it was found so for them it was just "iconic artefact related to Pharaoh Ahkmenrah")

Ok here we go...night at the archives 2 electric boogaloo...Jon and Martin have to go to America to save Tim and Sasha and the other exhibits from the Smithsonian Archives and potentially never being alive again and they meet daisy (kahmenrah??) and basira (haven't decided yet...any ideas PLEASE TELL ME) and also melanie is so Amelia Earhart and georgie is also someone who I haven't figured out yet...And they confess their love for each other and save the day and everything's ok in the end

I GOT POLLS HOLY SHIT

[leseigneurdufeu]

so at the beginning of NATM2 when Larry finds the container with the Brooklyn Museum guys in it and all the egyptian guards standing around, Kahmenrah is standing there with them while the tablet is inactive. Both the visuals and the fact he's not a mummy seem to indicate that the Kahmenrah we see is a wax effigy.

There are many historical characters in wax at the smithsonian, but there also are a muppet and darth vader, a sseen in the movie.

So theory: everything happened in a very logical, straightforward way in history. Then some guy made a series à la game of thrones or whatever about this ancient egypt dynasty drama in which a prince was exiled after trying to kill his brother or something out of jealousy becuase the baby brother had been chosen to get the throne. And the series is widely innaccurate and makes no sense regarding the historical timeline.

And then we've got the mummies (the parents + Ahk) who have historical memories, and the wax effigy of the fictional character/actor who played Kah in the series, who has the fictional memories.

Natm people, I have had a thought:

Everyone knows that the historical timeline in NATM is shaky at best, and downright awful at worst, but whats always bothered me is how both Kahmenrah and Ahkmenrah could have been pharohs.

At first glance it seems pretty cut and dry: Kahmunrah was in line for the crown, but it skipped over him. Ahkmenrah got the crown even though he was the second born, Kahmenrah kills him and gets the crown. With Ahkmenrah dead he rules for a couple decades, maybe he is overthrown or something and he dies, no one has found his tomb yet.

But there are a TON of issues with this line of events.

The biggest issue is their parents. We know from NATM 3 that not only do they adore Ahkmenrah, but that they died after him. This begs the question: How on earth would Kahmenrah manage to become pharaoh after brutally murdering his little brother? I can hear some of you saying ”Well maybe he killed them all”. Well, my gruesome minded friend, that would raise the issue, what happened to Kahmenrahs body?

The version of him we see in NATM2 is some sort of replica since it doesn’t decay the way Ahkmenrah does in NATM3. *This not being his real body would also explained why its being so casually stored underground*

If Kahmenrah killed his whole family, surely he would not build them their own grand tomb, that caters specifically to the magic tablet, that he so clearly envy’s, but his tomb isn’t at all of note.

Well, maybe Shepseheret and Merenkahre disowned him and threw him out in the desert, when he killed Ahk. That makes sense right?

But alas, it doesnt.

For one thing, Ahk died when he was in his mid to late teens, and since Kahmenrah is shown to be about 40 years old, we can assume most of his rule was when he was middle aged. So that leaves a huge gap of time between his birth and Ahkmenrahs death. Even if Ahkmenrah was crowned as a young child, Kahmenrah would still be older.

Despite that gap, thats not a lot of time for Kahmenrah to build up a reputation as being a bloodthirsty villian ruler. If he killed Ahk, then was banished, he would have had what, a few days to rule?

So Kahmenrah could not have killed Ahkmenrah and ruled while their parents lived, but we know that Ahks parents, were alive when he was killed.

Originally I was just gonna let it go, but I have a theory.

What if Kahmenrah took the throne BEFORE Ahkmenrah.

Think about it:

Kahmenrah is born, and he is supposed to be the pharaoh.

He goes off to prepare to be pharaoh, and earns a reputation for being bloody and cruel, with little care for those around him.

He gets in fights, treats people horribly, and he ”drinks the blood of his friends and enemies alike”, but no one can really do anything about it because he is gonna be the pharaoh.

During this time Ahkmenrah is born, and he grows up sweet and kind, loved by everyone.

Well, it comes about time Kahmenrah gets to be pharaoh, and thinking he is invincible, he does something truly horrible.

So horrible everyone collectively decides he can not have the throne.

So, he doesnt get the throne. Instead they crown Ahk.

Kahmenrah, who probably had no strong feelings about his brother before now, is LIVID. He lost his throne to his younger brother, who everyone just loves. His status, that he's spent his whole life dangling above everyone else’s head, is gone.

So Kahmenrah murders Ahkmenrah.

Merenkahere and Shepeseheret are heart broken, and throw Kahmenrah out into the desert where he perishes, his remains lost in the sand. Merenkahre continues his rule until he dies of natural causes and the crown is passed to a different member of the royal family.

Essentially, this version of events would give Kahmenrah the time to build up his reputation, give an explanation as to what happened to his body, and explain how the parents fit into all this.

Hey, you know how Ahkmenrah is a real mummified Egyptian corpse coming alive and night and such, so when the daylight breaks again he turns back into a skeletal, yucky thing? 

And you also know how Kahmenrah is a mannequin and looks like his normal self all the time? 

I bet Kah holds that over Ahk’s head.

IT’S THAT TIME OF THE YEAR

[lemonwisp]

You should draw this as Kahmunrah and Ahkmenrah

I’m going to be completely honest I traced over Mark and Ethan because if I didn’t this would look even more shitty.

Perspective is hard.

Also if I hadn’t drawn over Mark and Ethan then they would definitely been not proportionate.

[the-casbah-way]

Kahmenrah is kinda… 👉👈😶

he’s a dilf right !!! he’s so cunty. he’s rich. he’s married to a fashion designer. he has five cats. he speaks six languages. he is the moment

[rivstyx]

okay the new designs are growing on me

[multiversal-madness]

Help I rewatched all of the Night at the Museum movies and now I have an au developing in my head where Larry starts accidentally parenting Ahkmenrah (and possibly Kahmenrah) and ends up ‘adopting’ him.

[errormuseum]

I haven’t made an edit yet because I have instead been making miis I don’t apologize
