Tomb of the kings and cult of the snake

Pixel art for today based on videogame The Dark Heart of Uukrul for computer system Ibm Pc MsDos. It is, once again, a role playing game. About 80s. About dungeons. And, of course, dragons will be there. Classical role playing game of those age. A lot for imagination. And fantasy theme for adventures. Training for characters. Labyrinths. All is ahead! A thing that gamer need!

And this is my drawing based on The Dark Heart of Uukrul (MsD0s). Krorrnik the magician and warlord Djoshlind, already, entered the tomb of the kings. Now they do not have the other way, they only way is to go to the obelisk of the kings. And, already, after them, Kron`s black knights are going. With using of sword and magic he collect a huge army and control the whole continent.

Temple of the Snake, already, in the past. It was a false step. At first, adventurers thinks, that obelisk is there. But it was a trap. And, now, they, day and night, try go away from black knights of Cron. And, so at last, they are at their final destination. Tomb of the kings. Just one thing – is to find obelisk. The final thing. They are going in a full darkness. To no one to see them. It is very hard way, it makes road harder. It is dark here. And it is a cold wind blows here.

Magic obelisks are shining all around. No one know why are they here, and what they are doing. Cron hides tomb of the kings. He does a big things to hide this place. Someone speaks, that there is something magical here. Something, that gives empire such a big growth. Also, someone speaks, that it is connected with a restriction for certain kind of magics. And with the cult of the Snake, which starts to expands during Cron. Cron called himself as a thunder. Because of he is not only has a great physical power, but he knows a force of nature. Magic. And he can to call a thunder and lighting. He can do a rains and no rain at all.

Krornik and Djoshlind, they are only adventurers and random way reach this certain lands. From the near – wild lands. They go through the forest. Great forest. And they find out themselves in the empire of Cron. Nobody from the beyond forest, ever heard about what is going on here.

But, they beyond the great forest, hear about a cult of snake. This things has a different names, but it is, all time, the same. And, it was one of the reasons to go though the great forest. And, also, to see a new lands. What was a surprise for them. To see here a cult of the Snake.

So, certain, they try to bring across the forest a ball of Dariksan. It is a big magic ball. And there is living a mist there. And when mist to disappear, so, you can see and speak with those who you see. In a most different places. Cult of the snake hunts for this artifact beyond the forest. And lord Trogsh gives you this task. He just was searching for some adventures, who will go to explore world though the great forest. And he gives a task to bring artifact there. Because of, lord is under the hunt of the cult. And lord himself, soon, will leave the castle as adventures start their road.

And after they have crossed the forest. Adventurers, immediately, runs at the garrison of the cult of the Snake and legionnaires of Cron. Of course, they lost their magic ball. And they were lucky to escape in one of the dark nights. All the thing they know is that in tomb of the kings there is a key to a power of Cron. It should to be connected with the cult of the snake. Which is expanding everywhere.

They are going by the roads. And, one day, they reach the tomb of the kings. There are lots of traps at the road. And a false destination points too. After them, they leave behind them dungeons. And they discover ruins with a search for might and magic. Only this way, they can bring back a magic ball.

Such a fantasy story about A4. As a page. A little less. And something a picture. For a role playing game. Something like beginning of 90s it was a role playing games.

inquisition's puddle-deep fetch quests and twenty-four-hour wait time war table missions are generally not. awesome game design. BUT one thing they did accomplish, ironically, was adding a lot of depth to the world via so many little background stories that you could completely ignore -- but that were there if you wanted to engage. like you were on this critical path but there were lives happening around you and you could find little traces of them. and with the war table, you got a snapshot of the political landscape beyond the important stuff that the inquisitor got dragged into. i dunno, i almost miss it. it feels like the closest we got were the inquisitor's letters.

New Khalida just dropped... I had a burning intent to redraw some of the skellies from that series I had. Looked at the date and had a whiplash realizing I made it 2 years ago. ....what the hell, it felt like it was a couple months ago still. Love to see my improvement though.

Egypt Announces Discovery of the Lost Tomb of King Thutmose II

Egyptian officials announced Tuesday the discovery of the tomb of King Thutmose II, the last of the lost tombs of the kings of ancient Egypt's Eighteenth Dynasty, which reigned for over two centuries between about 1550 BC and 1292 BC. It's the first royal Egyptian tomb to be discovered since King Tutankhamun's final resting place was found in 1922.

A joint Egyptian-British archaeological mission discovered Thutmose II's tomb in the mount of Thebes area, west of Luxor and the renowned Valley of the Kings. The team and the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, which made the announcement, said evidence was discovered that clearly indicates it was King Thutmose II's tomb during excavations of what had previously been known only as tomb No. C4.

The entrance and main passage into the structure were discovered in 2022, and internal excavations have continued meticulously since then.

Dr. Mohamed Ismail Khaled, Secretary-General of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, said when the mission first found the entrance to the tomb and its main passage almost three years ago, the team believed it could belong to one of the wives of the kings, given its proximity to the tomb of the wives of King Thutmose III and its proximity to the tomb of Queen Hatshepsut, which was prepared for her as a royal wife before she became ruler of the ancient kingdom. She ended up being buried in the Valley of the Kings, due to her ascent to the throne.

As the excavation work and examination of artifacts continued, the mission found new evidence that identified the owner of the mysterious tomb as King Thutmose II, suggesting also that his burial rites were carried out by Queen Hatshepsut, who was his wife and half-sister.

Khaled said parts of alabaster vessels found in the ruins have inscriptions bearing the name of King Thutmose II and identifying him as the "deceased king," along with the name of his wife, Hatshepsut, all of which he said had helped to confirm Thutmose II as the owner of the tomb.

He described the discovery as one of the most important archaeological finds in recent years. The artifacts discovered are important additions to the body of knowledge around the history of the area and the reign of King Thutmose II.

The mummy of King Thutmose II was discovered during the 19th century, not far away at another archaeological site known as the Deir el-Bahari Cachette, to which the it was likely moved centuries after being looted by tomb raiders, according to the relatively new National Museum of Egyptian Civilization. His mummy is now on display, among those of other ancient royals, at the museum.

The tomb is in a poor state of preservation due largely to exposure to floods shortly after Thutmose II's death, according to Mohamed Abdel Badie, Head of the Egyptian Antiquities Sector at the Supreme Council of Antiquities and Head of the Egyptian team that has worked on the dig. Abdel Badie said initial studies also indicate much of the original contents of the tomb were moved to another location after the ancient floods.

He said the teams had discovered mortar in the tomb with remnants of blue inscriptions and yellow stars, and some paragraphs from the book of "Imydwat," which is one of the most important funerary books found in ancient Egyptian tombs, written to help guide the late royals through their underworld journey.

Dr. Piers Litherland, head of the English team at the site, said the tomb is characterized by a simple architectural design typical of those chosen by the successive rulers of Egypt who came after Thutmose II.

Litherland said the mission would continue its survey work and try to determine where the rest of the contents from Thutmose II's tomb were relocated to, and to uncover any further secrets that may have been locked beneath the earth for millennia.
