Such is the curse of Sprout the Red, or better known as Sprout the Dead. Not even Ra knows how to undo it, but even he thinks this is getting very stupid.
Dr. Hitch shouldn't need to worry though — the cursed Pharaoh is not here for souls, but for wine. Luckily, he doesn't have any powers anymore, as a punishment from the Gods (but Ra himself forgot how to do it nowadays lol).
