The Night of Counting the Years, aka The Mummy (1969)
Director: Shadi Abdel Salam
Set in 1881, before a year of British colonial rule, the film is based on the true story of Abd el-Rasuls, an Upper-Egyptian clan that had been robbing mummies then selling them on the illicit antiquities black market. After an inner-group conflict, one of the clan members goes to the police, and in the process aids the Antiquities Service in finding the cache.
