Summary

"The Mummy and Miss Nitocris: A Phantasy of the Fourth Dimension" by George Griffith is a science fiction story set in the early 20th century, where Egyptology, time, and mysterious dimensions come together around Professor Franklin Marmion and his daughter, Miss Nitocris. The professor and his daughter encounter an ancient mummy that sets off many supernatural events, from visions of the past to the possibility of dimensions beyond what people know. At the story's beginning, Professor Marmion studies his work, as his daughter, Nitocris, expresses her thoughts regarding the mummy that has been delivered to their home. Their jokes show their humor and how their scientific minds ponder the concepts of time and dimensions. The professor feels a connection with the mummy, drawing him into a confrontation with the spirit of Queen Nitocris and the implications of existence. This collision of past and present explores love, revenge, and the paradoxes of time.
