The outline and general concept are precious: 8000 years B. C. an alien civilization discovers ancient Egypt, builds the pyramids, wormholes ancient Egyptians as slaves to another planet/universe and leaves the transportation device behind. In order to activate this device, a lot of knowledge is required.
Once activated, a group of explorers walk through that device to find themselves on that other planet/universe. There they learn that the old Egyptian god Ra was nothing but the remnants of that alien civilization, accepted as godly creature. We observe how the linguist among the explorers starts to communicate with the descendants of those Egyptians transposed 10.000 years ago; speaking some Old-Egyptian that none of the explorers master. It is amazing, how hieroglyphs and astronomy go together in that language.
A great foundation for a good movie!
Alas, half of this is covered by the seemingly inevitable woooom, shots, bombs, fights, yelling, dying, without which almost no movie in these days can see the light. So the last half hour at least is a waste of time. With a ticking bomb that can't be dismantled, counting down. You name it; because you'll know it.
