The god Set is referred to as the god of death, but in Egyptian mythology Set was the god of chaos and violence while Anubis, who was later replaced by Osiris was the god of death.
At one point a convoy is shown going down a London street, they're driving on the right, not the left.
Just after the bird strike, when the plane is going down, the co-pilot says to the captain "We've lost thrust on both engines." The C-130 has four engines.
Aircraft windscreens are constructed of high impact plastic, not glass. When the ravens slam into the screen, it shouldn't have cracked, so much as given way and entered the flight deck.
None of the art/props have any actual Ancient Egyptian styling or features to them. The Mummy's sarcophagus is not Ancient Egyptian at all. None of the design is consistent with Ancient Egyptian iconography or archaeological reality.
The movie states that Ahmanet was mummified alive. The mummification process involves removal of the internal organs & the brain. The body is then covered in natron and after a period it is removed, stuffed with a naturally occurring salt called natron, and then wrapped in linen strips. The person would definitely be dead at this point. The movie clearly showed Ahmanet struggling to get free of the wrappings as she was being enclosed in the sarcophagus. So she was not mummified alive but entombed / buried alive.
However, the movie states that Ahmanet was mummified 5000 years ago (circa 3000 B.C.). While it is not known precisely when the Egyptians first began to develop "true mummification" which included evisceration it is usually considered to have begun around 2600 BC, roughly 400 years after the mummification of Ahmanet.

In an early shot taking place during the time of Anhumet, the Great Pyramid is shown in the background as it appears today, with the casing stones missing. The casing stones were still in place until the earthquake of 1303 AD.
While metal rings were used as chains as early as 250 BC, steel chains were not invented until the early 16th century. The chains used to hold the sarcophagus inside the tomb were clearly made of steel and were of modern construction.
In the tomb, pulleys are shown lifting the sarcophagus out of the mercury. In reality the ancient Egyptians did not have pulleys and relied on hard work to lift things, despite friction.
Vehicle tyres do not screech on dirt roads, as we hear during the ambulance getaway.
When Jenny is on the plane and says the sarcophagus was safely hidden for 5000 years, the age is dubbed.
