now if the screenplay from which the movie is derived, was written by egyptologists who put their theories in it...
clearly they thought something was up with abydos and wrote the abydos scene into the screenplay because THAT would be the "theory" part of it, i'm guessing. why else would abydos be in it at all?
Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin were sued for stealing the storyline from a student of Egyptology named Omar Zuhdi who submitted the story to them about ten years before the movie was made (they "rejected" the story at the time). Zuhdi even had a well-respected Egyptologist from Johns Hopkins University vouch for him, since he put his own theories into the story. The only differences between the story and the movie are slight name variations. The issue was finally settled out of court.

If memory serves, I heard a rumor that the writer in question allegedly borrowed the story from an egyptoloist in college. I'm not naming him because I don't trust ATS enough to not give me up in a slander (or is it libel?) suit.
