Princess Anuket of Egypt was the daughter of Pharaoh Rameses III. She traveled to Greece to find Hercules in the hopes that he would help her locate the missing Mummy of her ancestor Ishtar. The fact that Anuket kept slaves clashed with Hercules's ideals. He eventually brought her to understand that slavery was wrong and she granted her head slave Keb freedom as he was dying.
Anuket used the Ankh that had been buried with Ishtar to help Hercules defeat the Mummy. ("Mummy Dearest")
