"Henry P. Larrabee (1830 – December 19, 1906), also known as Hank Larrabee, was a 49er and a rancher in the Eel River Valley of Humboldt County, California notorious for his treatment of Indians. Subsequently he was a sheriff in Montana, a family man, businessman and school board member in Kansas. History He was born in Marion County, Ohio, son of Joseph and Lucy Larrabee and lived there until leaving for California during the 1849 California Gold Rush. He established a ranch at "Larrabee" in Humboldt County in 1859. He also owned the land around Blocksburg from the Eel River to Larabee Valley to the east. The town of Blocksburg was originally called "Larabee" or its other spelling "Laribee" Several landmarks – including Larrabee Creek, Little Larrabee Creek, and Larrabee Valley \- are named for him, although old maps and writings may use the alternate spelling "Laribee." He was notorious as a killer of Indians, having once bragged that he killed more than 60 Indian children with a hatchet, and served as a corporal in the Volunteer Guides during the Bald Hills War. He is widely believed to have been an instigator and among the killers in the Indian Island massacre, who, besides Corporal Henry P. Larrabee include Sergeant Charles A.D. Huestis, Private George W. Huestis, Private Wallace M. Hagan and James D. Henry Brown. United States Army Lieutenant Daniel Lynn, sent to Larrabee Valley with a detachment in March 1861, described Larrabee to his superior, Captain Charles Lovell: :: "Here in this apparently lovely valley lived a man about whose qualities I feel myself impelled to speak. I heard no man speak in his favor, nor even intimate one redeeming trait in his character. The universal cry was against him. At the Thousand Acre Field and Iaqua Ranch even the woman who was shot and burned to death was condemned for living with such a man. Of most enormities of which he stands accused you are aware. An accomplice and actor in the massacre at Indian Island and South Bay; the murderer of Yo-keel-la- bah; recently engaged in killing unoffending Indians, his party, according to their own story, having killed eighteen at one time (eight bucks and ten squaws and children), and now at work imbruing his hands in the blood of slaughtered innocence. I do not think Mr. Larrabee can be too emphatically condemned." An anonymous letter writer called attention to some of the abuses: "Larrabee, for his part, took offense at an Indian boy who worked for him but who would periodically run off to visit his relatives. Larrabee 'went down one morning and slaughtered the whole family of about six persons, boy and all. He then made a rude raft of logs, put the victims on it… and started the bodies down the river.'""Atrocities by White Men on Indians in Humboldt County—Record of a Baby-Killer," San Francisco Daily Evening Bulletin, June 1, 1860; Reprinted in the Sacramento Daily Union, June 4, 1860. The writer uses "L–—" instead of the perpetrator's full name, but other information in the letter, linking him to Hagans and the killing of Yo-kill-la-bah, makes it clear that "L–-" is the Larrabee referred to in Captain Lovell's dispatch.Lovell, Captain Chas., Report to Major W. W. Mackall, March 23, 1861. Quoted in Susie Baker Fountain Papers, vol. 32, 379 Leaving Humboldt County, Larrabee followed another gold rush to the Salmon River in 1862, ending up in Hellgate, Montana, where he was elected sheriff of Missoula County under the name "Henry P. Larrabie" in 1865, serving only about one year. Larrabee left Missoula in 1868 to return to Ohio at about the time his father died. Larrabee married Catherine Linn Phillips (1849-1940) on February 14, 1869 in Indiana, with whom he had five children and moved from Indiana to Joplin, Missouri, then to Wellington, Kansas and finally to Wichita, Kansas where he ran an artificial stone business. Later he was a homesteader, cattle rancher, deputy sheriff and on the school board in Liberal, Seward County, Kansas until he died on December 17, 1906 of cancer under the name "Henry Pierre Larrabee."

"Hamunaptra (also known as City of the Dead) is a fictional Egyptian city that first made its appearance in the 1999 film The Mummy. According to the films, Hamunaptra is a hidden city in the desert which is the resting place of Imhotep, the 3,000-year-old mummy that will revisit the Earth as a curse if released. He, and the city of Hamunaptra, are guarded by the Medjay, who do not want "the beast" to be awakened and have guarded it for centuries. It served as the resting place for Pharaohs and their wealth. Appearances The Mummy (1999) The viewer's first introduction to Hamunaptra is when Brendan Fraser's Rick O'Connell and his military unit in the Foreign Legion come across it in the desert. As Bronwyn Williams writes in Popular Culture and Representations of Literacy, "In The Mummy the object that first excites Evie's interest in Hamunaptra is a small, intricately made metal box that is a key for opening both the sarcophagus of the mummy and the fabled black Book of the Dead buried in his tomb. When the box springs open, Evie finds a map showing the location of Hamunaptra." In the film, Evie is excited by the idea of Hamunaptra because her mother told her and her brother Jonathan Carnahan stories about the city when they were children. Evie enlists Rick's help in finding the city, since he has been there, with an assortment of other characters joining the troupe in traveling to the desert city. The final climactic scene at the end of The Mummy is located within Hamunaptra.Williams, p. 80 The city sinks into the sand, and the main characters barely escape with their lives. The main antechamber, filled with mounds of treasure and gold, also sinks into the sand. The Mummy Returns (2001) With the city sinking back into the sand at the end of The Mummy, in the sequel viewers see excavation attempts near the beginning of the film. Characters Meela Nais, the museum curator Hafez, and Lock-Nah oversee the excavation of Imhotep's resin- covered corpse, which they then reanimate.
