The film lacks LGBTQ+ characters or any exploration of non-heteronormative identities. It follows a conventional character distribution focused on physical survival.

A mixed-gender ensemble of archaeologists drives the story. While women participate in the survival efforts, the film does not challenge traditional masculine leadership tropes.

The cast is predominantly European, reflecting a Western perspective on archaeology. The Egyptian setting serves as a backdrop for a Western-led expedition rather than providing agency to local characters.

The narrative functions as a closed-system survival story. It relies on traditional horror archetypes like a supernatural curse rather than engaging with religious or political institutions.

There are no prominent depictions of visible or invisible disabilities. Physical trauma is treated as a standard horror plot device rather than a nuanced exploration of disability.
