The Cult of Rame Tep (“Young Sherlock Holmes”, 1985)

While the notion of a secretive and literally underground ancient Egyptian cult active in Victorian London strikes a romantic chord, various occult and esoteric orders of the late 19th century genuinely did incorporate elements of Egyptian religion into their practice.
