Security guard Larry Daley (Stiller) recognises the repercussions for his display case chums and enlists the help of museum director Dr McPhee (Ricky Gervais) to ship the tablet to the British Museum in London, home of pharaoh Merenkahre (Sir Ben Kingsley), who fashioned the tablet in honour of his son Ahkmenrah (Rami Malek). Undaunted, Fredericks empties the site of its priceless artefacts, dividing the treasures between New York and London.įast-forwarding to the present day, the magical Tablet Of Ahkmenrah, which brings to life the exhibits of the American Museum Of Natural History, is losing its power. "If anyone disturbs this tomb, the end will come!" proclaims one superstitious local. In present day New York City, Larry Daley remains the night guard of the Museum of Natural History. The locals warn the group that removing the tablet will end its magic. The third chapter opens in 1938 Egypt, where adventurer Robert Fredericks (Brennan Elliott) and his 12-year-old son CJ (Percy Hynes-White) stumble upon a burial chamber.
