Egypt

[tytalan]

What region would be Egypt inspired. I’m looking for a place that an actual pyramid complex would be appropriate. There’s a lot more to a pyramid complex than just the actual pyramid

Osirion, 1000%. It's theme park Egypt, complete with the Mummy's Mask AP from 1e.

Not to mention the presence of the Egyptian pantheon (before they were banished [back to Earth?] during the Godsrain)...

Not all of them are gone.

Osirion is kinda a hybrid between the Ptolemaic and Mamluk periods of Egyptian history, and has plenty of pyramids and tomb complexes you can set a story in. As has been mentioned, Mummy's Mask is an entire six-book adventure set in Osirion, though you don't get to your first real pyramid until well into the adventure.

Why Ptolemaic? I would've assumed that's the era that's missing the most, since there's no parallel to Hellenistic conquest in Osirion's lore, but you seem more well-versed in Egyptian history than I am.

(I feel like there's also a bit of modern Egypt in there with the sort of nationalistic reclaiming of its ancient history, but that doesn't contradict anything else)
