You don't need a map, I'm the map!

Although my annoying friend Benny might be able to help you too (but don't trust him)

In the film, The Mummy, Hamunaptra is an ancient Egyptian city hidden deep in the desert some distance from Thebes and is the primary setting for the story. Unlike many of the real places mentioned in the movie, this Hamunaptra is purely fictional.

In actual history, a city called Hamunaptra (City of the Dead Man) was found in India in the 1850s when British engineers, trying to build a railroad, pillaged the area for bricks. In the 1920s, archaeologists began serious excavations. They found at the site a lost civilization occupying an area greater than that of Pakistan.

Hamunaptra is a fictional ancient Egyptian city hidden deep in the desert some distance from Thebes and is the primary setting for the story in the horror/action movie 'The Mummy' starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. Thebes is identified in the film as the "City of the Living" while Hamunaptra is the "City of the Dead, ancient burial site for the sons of pharaohs." This coincides only loosely with the actual Wadi el-Muluk, the Valley of the Kings on the opposite side of the Nile from ancient Thebes. Being to the west, where the sun set, this valley was considered the realm of the dead. King Seti I, who is depicted in the film, was entombed there.

Hamunaptra

In actual history, a city called Hamunaptra (City of the Dead Man) was found in India in the 1850s when British engineers, trying to build a railroad, pillaged the area for bricks. In the 1920s, archaeologists began serious excavations. They found at the site a lost civilization occupying an area greater than that of Pakistan. It was a complex, literate, urbanized, centrally located society. Raw materials located in the area indicated that the civilization had long-distance trade with Mesopotamia. The civilization ended between 1900 and 1700 BCE, which archaeologists accredit to a new group of horse-riding invaders. However, there is no evidence to prove any hypothesis of why the civilization might have become extinct.

It's a fictional forbidden Ancient Egyptian city of the dead in the great movie "The Mummy" with Brendan Fraser & Rachel Weisz. Also was a city in India but I don't think it still exists (see site with list of India cities and maps).

Hamunaptra sound like the scientific name for an insect. It might be on a deserted island somewhere in the South Pacific.
