Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe oasis referred to in this episode -El Khabir -is probably derived from the Gilf Kebir (or Gilf al-Kebir), an extremely dry desert plateau in the southwest corner of Egypt; this may explain the discussion about 'borders' in the episode since it is near the borders of both Libya and Sudan. There is no oasis there and it is over 300 miles from the Nile Valley and over 400 miles from Giza. There are no pharaonic remains in this area, but it contains an abundance of rock art which dates to ca. 6100-4800 BC (well before the pharaonic era).
- GoofsWhen Dr Kareem's two henchmen are in a jeep looking for Jonny and Hadji, one of them mistakenly refers to Hadji as "the Hindu boy." Hadji is clearly a Sikh, not a Hindu, because he wears a Sikh turban. Most fans also know his full name is Hadji Singh, Singh being a Sikh name.
- Quotes
Servant: The men are frightened. They whisper of the curse of Anubis.
Dr. Hamid Kareem: Childish superstition!
Servant: But we have desecrated his temple. Will Anubis strike us dead?
Dr. Hamid Kareem: When there is real unity among Arab nations, Anubis will bless us.

Featured review
Anubis goes for a walk
In this episode of Jonny Quest, Dr. Quest is summoned to Egypt by a supposed old friend, Dr. Ali Kareem, to take a look at his latest archaeological find. But Dr. Kareem has other plans in mind for Dr. Quest and family - and they don't include sightseeing. Dr. Kareem is behind the recent theft of the mask of Anubis. He hopes to pin the theft on Dr. Quest so that his plans might be fulfilled. Unknown to Dr. Kareem (or Dr. Quest for that matter), however, the mummy Anubis has come to life and is searching the countryside for his lost possession.
I can just imagine that someone smarter than me might take a look at "The Curse of Anubis" and write an essay about the unflattering portrayal of Middle Easterners by Westerners. Or they might write about the significance Dr. Ali Kareem's ramblings calling for a unified Arab state. But you won't get that from me. I've never watched an episode of Jonny Quest and come away with the un-PC notions some other viewers seem to. For me, it's all about the mummy Anubis as he makes his slow march across the desert. "The Curse of Anubis" features one of my absolute favorite moments from Jonny Quest. It might not sound like much, but the sight of Anubis standing on the dune with the moon in the background as his tattered bandages flap in the breeze - Wow! I loved it as a kid and still think it's a great sight. The biggest weakness I see in this episode is with the ambiguity of Dr. Kareem's plans. Don't ask me what those plans are because Dr. Kareem's thinking makes very little sense to me.
