Seen Mummy (2019) with Tom Cruise? Some questions.

Have you seen Mummy (2019) with Tom Cruise? I have some questions.

1. In Egypt, Ahmanet a pharaoh's daughter tries to get a lover possessed by the god Set in order to take power. She was given some powers by Set, but arrested and 'buried alive' by being injected with mercury. Ahmanet's tomb is discovered in northern Iraq -- how'd it get there? Why was it there (instead of Egypt)?

2. Ahmanet feeds on people to regenerate her body and make them her slaves. When Cruise is swimming through the London underground burial room containing sarcophagi of the Crusaders (who brought the dagger back from Egypt) their clothed bones swim out and try to capture Cruise. Why would they revive when Ahmanet never sucked the life out of them? If that's Ahmanet's power, why doesn't she just resurrect every dead body in London?

3. How does Ahmanet know the dagger of Set is in a statue in the church near Crusader burial, but doesn't know the dagger's ruby is elsewhere?

4. Why wouldn't the Crusaders destroy the dagger's Ruby (that Cruise easily cracks by hitting it on the ground), and/or the dagger, if they wanted to protect the world against Ahmanet/Set?

5. Chris (Tom Cruise's companion), is possessed by Ahmanet through a spider that bit him in the tomb. Why is that a power of Ahmanet? Why doesn't she use it again?

Unless I'm missing something, seems this film is crap because doesn't follow any boundaries, even its own. So the audience just gives up having any hopes, that is, forming anticipations, because it has no parameters. And Paramount wanted to build on this film for their Dark Universe franchise? Build on what?
