Here’s a somewhat forgotten British pre-code horror film starring Boris Karloff. Despite the title, the plot has heavy ties to Egyptian mythology and was likely made as an attempt at capitalizing on the success of the 1932 Universal film The Mummy which also starred Boris Karloff.

Synopsis:
An Egyptologist returns from the dead to take revenge on those who have violated his tomb.
Directed by T. Hayes Hunter.
Cast: Boris Karloff, Cedric Hardwicke, Ernest Thesiger & Ralph Richardson.
Trivia:
The film was considered to be a lost film until a murky, virtually inaudible subtitled print was located in communist Czechoslovakia in 1969. In the early 1980s, a disused and forgotten film vault at Shepperton Studios, its door blocked by stacked lumber, was cleared and inside they found the nitrate camera negatives of the film in perfect condition.
