David Daniels

David Daniels is one of the American treasure hunters on the side of Beni Gabor.

Story
We first see him with Beni on a boat before it's journey for Hamunaptra. At night, he is gambling with Jonathan Carnahan along with Mr. Burns and Henderson because Carnahan knows about Hamunaptra. Daniels wagered to Rick O'Connell, also a treasure seeker, 500 hundred dollars they get to Hamunaptra before he or Sora do. The Medjai strike somehow and nearly kill the crew but are forced to withdraw. Mornings later, the race for Hamunaptra begins. Then the groups begin to dig for the Book of Amun-Ra. At the base of the statue of Anubis, there was a near argument broken up by Evy. When three diggers try to get a compartment, they didn't know Seti I could make treasures hard to access, so the diggers were burned alive by salt acid, much to the terror of Daniels and the others with him then they retreat to rest for the night. Daniels, Burns and Henderosn also participate in stopping the Medjai raid of the campsites, despite losing other diggers. Sora then tells the Americans of what consequences digging for treasure could have. Once the chest was discovered, Dr. Chamberlain translated that the Undead if brought back will kill those who open the chest and become whole again after sucking them dry. After the Book of the Dead was discovered, the curse was invoked on Daniels, Henderson, Chamberlain and Burns after Imhotep's revival. At Cairo, the Americans face the horror of their lives as Imhotep kills them one-by-one. When Daniels remained, Evy found out the location of the golden Amun-Ra book. After being left behind, Daniels held out until he had no ammo left. After giving up one of the canopic jars, Imhotep sucks Daniels dry off camera becoming whole again.
