Make the Ardeth Bay - costume on your own! Finally instruction online!

I have translated my instruction for making a Medjai costume oriented on the original Ardeth Bay costume (tent "Making a Medjai-costume")! It's not easy, but if you dare to try, just follow this link or click on the picture to the right!

Temples at the Lake Nasser - Cruise on Lake Nasser

Finally I have translated the information on the Blemmyes (this link) and on the momuments and places at Lake Nasser which I have visited in 2007 - these are the temples which have been saved before the Lake Nasser was flooded (because of the erection of the New Dam at Aswan). This area is the ancient domain of the Blemmyes (descendants of the Medjai), so therefore it was very interesting. Chancellor Ramses Khementer Bay has also left his traces here. Follow this link for getting directly in the tent "Medjai Infos"! More information on my Lake Nasser Cruise are to be found in the tent "Egypt" - the 5th journey or just follow this link!

Meaning of nearly all Medjai tattoos/hieroglyphics

I have tried to translate all the hieroglyphic tattoos of the Medjai. It was hard work, but now it is done! You can see the results in the tent "costume", then go under "tattoo" or just click here or on the hieroglyphic picture to the left! You will find the meaning of Ardeth's face tattoos (astonishing news!!! There is NO Arabic there and also no barge of the dead... it is much more interesting!!) and the meaning of the body tattoos of the old Medjai and perhaps also Ardeth's body.

New Medjai Warrior Costume (original from the film "The Mummy Returns")

Morocco 2008 - desert trip now online

Finally online: a lot of pics and info's on my desert trip in Morocco. We started in Marrakesh and then went on camel through the desert for ten days. Click here for the link to the Morocco-voyage or just go into the tent "Desert". There you can find another pics from Morocco: desert landscape pics and camel pics, of course.

Pics pics pics

In the last days I put a lot of pictures online: pics from Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bay (LINK HERE) and some funny pics from me as Medjai, trying to solve questions like "What will I dress today as Medjai?" or "Where is the key?". I tried to explain these picture session in the tent "Gallery", but the pics can be found everywhere on the page.

Hamunaptra!!

In January 2008 I was in the City of the Dead!! Really!!! Click here to go directly to the report on finding HAMUNAPTRA and a lot of pictures !!!
Together with my friend Simon I made a camel trekking in Morocco for 15 days. At the end we arrived at the dunes at Erg Chebbi. I knew that the filming of the two first Mummy-films of Steven Sommers were just made nearby. The team has lived in the town Erfoud in 1998 and 2000, and Hamunaptra was - due to Internet statings - filmed in an old volcano, some 3 miles in distance of Erfoud. I asked the guide who was with us on the camel trek to find that place, and he ask some people at Erg Chebbi. We have had luck and found this vulcano, which was farer away from Erfoud than expected! And then we drove to Hamunaptra! What a great feeling to be there, to stand at that important place where they have filmed the Mummy-films!!! To stand between old portuguise ruins which also were used as background for the City of the Dead!

Got a new teddy-bear

This is Ardeth as nice little teddy-bear!

Click on him, and his picture will enlarge, surely he himself will never enlarge - he will be just my cute little Ardeth - teddy - bear !!

Horus, my most clever and best friend!!

Since September 2006 I have new chickens, little white ones. I gave them the names: Horus, Anubis, Osiris, and Isis. Before they grow much too big I took the opportunity to make a fun foto of me as Medjai and my chicken Horus in the role of falcon Horus. For more fotos click on the foto at the left!

Fotos of Oded Fehr

Finally I scanned the three Oded-Fehr-fotos I got a few monthes ago. Have a look at them in the tent "galery", click there on "Oded Fehr"!

NEW: A report of my fourth journey to Egypt: Cairo in August 2006!!

In August I travelled with my mother for one week to Cairo. We saw a lot of pyramids, temples, ancient places, and the famous Egyptian Museum. We stayed outside the city and enjoyed our journey very much. For the whole report go into the tent "Egypt" and click on the fourth journey!

6 Trading Cards from "The Mummy Returns"

While at the convention in Fulda I bought the Premium Trading Cards of "The Mummy Returns" with alltogether 81 cards. 6 of them show Ardeth Bay. You can see them in the tent "Galery".

My visit to the Star Trek Convention in Fulda, 19th - 21st May 2006

The "FedCon XV" was held up in Fulda, a town inmidst of Germany. There were a lot of guest Stars from the diverse Star Trek-series: George Takei (Sulu), Walter Koenig (Chekov), Robert Beltran (Chakotay), Gates McFadden (Dr. Crusher), Connor Trinneer (Trip Tucker), Nicole de Boer (Ezri Dax), Cirroc Lofton (Jake Sisko), and of course others. I enjoyed staying there, for the most because of the very interesting lectures on Star Trek phsyics and languages and the Egyptian aspects in Stargate. Because my last convention visit was five years ago, I was really happy to join again with a lot of people to whom I was known in earlier years. It was very nice to meet them all again. On Friday evening I dressed up as a Klingon like in the years 1997 - 2001, but on Saturday and Sunday I took over to my favourite role as Medjai - with a brandnew costume!

New Costume

In March/April 2006 I made a new Medjai costume. It took approximately 10 days, but because I posess the original costume of Oded Fehr it was quite easy. I sewed the new costume in the same way as the original costume was sewed. The new one is very easy to wear, like a coat. It has two inside bags which is very practical. The only thing difficult was to buy the right black stuff and the other items belonging to the costume. And it was quite a lot of work, but I was very proud when I had finished, because it is quite similar to the original - besides that it is smaller.

In the tent "Galery" you can see another new-costume-pic. There you may enlarge both pics.

Oded Fehr not in The Mummy 3

As Oded Fehr told in an interview, he will not be involved in Mummy 3 !!! The third real Mummy-film (will it be really a REAL Mummy-film without Imhotep???) will be set up in China. The O'Connels have to hunt some Chinese mummies, I guess. Imhotep and Ardeth won't be involved. SO SAD !!!! :-( :-( :-(
