Are the stars out tonight? - probably 1912 ending (revised, toned‑down version).

An archeologist discovers the tomb of the Egyptian queen Tera. It appears that she left instructions on how to revive her. We speculate as to whether he should or would follow the instructions. Many other mysterious things happen to the archeologist, his daughter, and their companions. The story is in a first-person narrative, which leads you to think the narrator survives to tell the story. There are versions of this book with one or another ending. The 1912 ending was sweetness and light vs. the 1903 original; Chapter XVI, "Powers - Old and New," was removed, and the book was given a happier ending. It is best to have a book with both endings. You will need to check before purchasing whether it has one or the other or both endings before purchasing. Also, do not overlook the various movies based on this book. The closest to the book is “The Awakening” (1980) with Charlton Heston. Another more Hammeresque is “Blood from the Mummy's Tomb” (1971). Just a warning: do not let your cat see you reading this.
