[edit] Plot
The gang is in Egypt driving to surprise Velma, who has been restoring the famous Sphinx for the past six months with Prince Omar. They also discover that Queen Cleopatra's tomb is in the Sphinx. There they meet up with the following: an Egyptian nomad nicknamed "Triple A" by the gang, "Fear Facers" host Rock Rivers, and a nasty Lara Croft-twin named Dr. Amelia von Butch. Against the wishes of Velma and Omar, Dr. von Butch and her team use modern equipment to open the tomb, unleashing a curse made by Cleopatra. The cuse says that all who enter will be turned to stone. No one believes this until Omar, Velma, and Rock Rivers are found as stone. Dr. von Butch decides to enter the tomb anyway. After accidentally setting off a trap, the gang is split up. Fred and Daphne try to stop Dr. von Butch, while Scooby-Doo and Shaggy discover a Lost City where they are mistaken for the returning pharaoh Ascoobis and his faithful manservant. The leader of the Lost City, Hotep, attempts to feed them to his Spirit of the Sand, a giant scorpion monster that turns out to be a robot he had built. Fred and Daphne arrive with "Triple A," who reveals Hotep to be the brilliant criminal civil engineer Armin Granger who is illegally damming the Nile River.
After this, the gang leads an army composed of the citizens of the Lost City into Cleopatra's tomb to break the curse and free Velma. In the chaos of the battle between an army led by Daphne (pretending to be Cleopatra) and Cleopatra's undead army, the evil Amelia von Butch- who has now lost all of her team to the curse- sneaks into the chamber of Cleopatra, stealing the crown of Cleopatra and causing the Nile River to burst through the tomb, undamming the Nile and flushing out the riches hidden in the tomb, thus restoring the treasure to the people of Egypt according to Cleopatra's last wish. The mystery is solved when it is revealed that the ghost of Cleopatra was really Velma, who had planned the whole thing along with Prince Omar and his workers in order to scare away all the treasure hunters. They had made cement copies of themselves to pass of as victims of "the curse". Dr. von Butch and her team (who were never turned to stone, just copies like Velma and Omar), are taken to jail.
