Quote context

[...]

- You pry and meddle with unclean hands and eyes. Profanity, blasphemy, religious desecration, all these you are guilty of.

- But the powers with which you have meddled do not rest easy. I think you will not go unpunished.

- Punished? By whom?

- There are certain things for which civilisation has no answer.

- But if you choose to meddle thus, then you must be prepared to face the consequences, whatever they are.

- Consequences? That sounds like a threat.

- You must excuse me, Mr Banning.

- We like to think that our European dress, our liberal education have buried the past. But, occasionally, one is forced to realise that all this is only veneer.

- Thousands of years of traditional belief cannot be dismissed in one generation.

- Please, accept my apologies.

- Please, I should apologise to you. After all, I only came here to welcome you.

- I'm afraid I got rather carried away. I mustn't detain you any longer.

- You haven't detained me at all.

The mummy. It's waiting. It's always there.
Now you talk about something of which you know nothing. You've scratched only the surface and you know nothing.
There are certain things for which civilisation has no answer.
He who robs the graves of Egypt dies.
