Ancient Egyptian Tomb layouts.

[Fake Healer]

I keep seeing some good maps on TV from various shows that depict a 3-d rendering of Egyptian Tombs. I can't seem to locate any printable versions in 2d on the web anywhere. Does anyone know of a good source? I love the layouts of actual tombs and would like to incorporate some of that style into my Dungeons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

LOADED with maps, many are printable. I know some tombs in the Valley of the Kings section at the very least have top-view and side-view maps. Someone here linked to it once and I've been in love with the site ever since.

edit-You win this round, Jmberaldo.

this site has a bunch of links to different historical map sites. i've used it to find midaeval cities for my homebrew.

edit - ok, everyone beat me AND provided a better site! (awesome link btw you two!)

Wow! Good stuff, all, and quick! Theban was exactly what I wanted but I love the historical map link page also. Just checked out a 1590's map of the Americas. Pretty awesome!
If any have any others please post, this stuff is DM gold!

glad to help! i guess we could post links here as we find cool sites for locations, maps, historical castles, temples and stuff. that would be awesome, and be a nice "one stop" dm resource ;)
