I do not think that they were trying to use the mummy as a guideline to the
adventurers theme
i think it is inspired from indiana jones because of the mini-fig resebalance
take for example
jhonny thunder = indiana jones
prof. kilroy = indie's father
gail weathers = tour guide that we think is good but in the middle uses jhonny
to get info and is evil (Last Crusade)
the baddies are seterotypical people from the Jones films
