From the players perspective, a bazaar.

Assuming the players are coming from a non-Ancient-Egypt-themed place, the first place they arrive in town will be a busy marketplace. Sensory details include a lot of people shouting, and the smell of spices mixed with the smell of animals. Try to include both "camels" and "horses," or the setting equivalent. One animal able to go long distances without water, and one fast animal for desert bandits and other warriors in a hurry. If your players are local, "you all meet at the bazaar" functions like a tavern as there are usually drinks someplace and people looking to hire others for a job.

Try to foreshadow a bit here. If you are including an ancient Egyptian princess like in your picture or an even an evil reincarnated priestess, add some veiled "dancing girls" to the bazaar so your players know what's up. If they are going to have rivals in exploring the ruins, have the rivals show up in the bazaar at some point. If there are going to be bandits, have a few "black turbans" in the crowd watching the players.

>If there are going to be "bugs," and there should be, have a few buzzing around the animals at the stall. "Biting flies" are a common enough problem that you may want to do a roll to see what players are bitten. This is good foreshadowing, but the thing about "biting flies" is "malaria." Insects in settings like this can carry a host of diseases, but it is too soon to include something like this.

Once they get on the road, scorpions and giant scorpions can become an issue. One important thing for an ancient Egyptian theme is scarabs, to the players "flesh eating scarabs." There's not as much precedent for giant beetles, so you should probably use a swarm instead. Roll a random encounter table to determine which "sand storms" are actually just sand and not plague locusts or something.

Once you get from marketplace to lost ruins, expect rival factions, traps, and "guardians."

Nubia only held Egypt for a very short time. Less than a century. After and before that they were all Berbers, both the people and the rulers.

Later Hellenistic Egypt is also not what most think of when they imagine Ancient Egypt. Nor is Islamic Egypt, so they aren't worth talking about.

Temples must play an important role, they have their own land, their own labor.

Different cities will have different pantheons. It's not like the other gods are false or something, but in your opinion these other guys got it wrong who created the world or who you really should worship.

Dwarves. Not fantasy dwarves, but midgets. You get a lot of depictions of midgets, sometimes creating goldwork. There was a pharao that instructed one of his generals that when he gets to nubia for slaves he really needs to bring him a midget, because he loves these small endearing creatures so much. There was also a high-ranking official that was a midget, which scored himself some prime egyptian wife.

>>51072247

Keep in mind that the "guardians" could also be humans who have kept the ruins safe from outsiders for generations.

There is probably something big and bad in those ruins that the players are going to "wake up." That's par for the course in these adventures, but you can see how a "real person" might think it is a "bad idea" to do in their "world." Depending on your players, it might be a good idea for a rival faction to do the actual "waking up the ancient evil." This makes it easier for the players to ally with the guardians to save the world.

Alternately, a lot of traps in these old temples are for grave robbers, designed to temp and trap the greedy. If your players fall into too many of these traps without learning their lesson, the big bad is your last chance to convince them to change their thieving ways. A good rule of thumb, if your players are high-level enough that a prophecy about their arrival in hieroglyphics doesn't seem far fetched, let them put down the ancient evil. Guardian allies are mostly for lower level adventurers who need the help, and at higher levels true rivals are hard to come by.

You'll have to decide if the "rivals" are the true villains, minions of the true villain, or if the ancient evil buried in the temple is the main villain. All three can work and have worked in the past. Review your campaign notes, and try to play things by ear, or at least listen to your players. If the villain your players have been fighting over the campaign is just a misguided extremist or has enough sympathy for a heel-face turn, the ancient evil might actually be the truly evil one. A lot of mummies are basically just liches with more bandages on their undead army, but mummification is normally for high ranking officials who go with the pharaoh in the after life. An evil vizier or perhaps even a cunning courtesan could be deceptively effective once unleashed on the modern world. If the players are too busy fighting the pharaoh...

To be more precise, only peasants ate pork (as pigs were some of the most despised animals), and even though nobles often ate fish, the pharaohs and priesthood didn't as it was also considered to be unclean food.

In general Egyptian culture strove for consistency, although there was naturally a lot of religious and social drifting over the 3-4000 years people were maintaining the culture. During the Intermediate periods there was usually a huge influx of "new" cultural values, often personified in a foreign influence/rulership, such as the various foreign dynasties that briefly or not so briefly ruled. But after that, each of the reformations at least TRIED to return to what was "proper" (IE the Middle and New Kingdoms).

The Amarna period was certainly an oddity in that sense, since Akhenaten just seems to have up and decided to change everything around by his own accord.

He still did the same sex stuff as previous dynasties, though. He possibly married his daughter and had kids with her, and there was generally a lot of incest in the 18th dynasty.

It happened repeatedly too, and each time the Egyptians were necessitated to make changes to their culture in order to survive. The adoption of the wheel and developing chariots is one example which changed their warfare. Large-scale employment of foreign mercenaries was another (which later probably bit them in the ass). It's a miracle that they managed to maintain the kind of influence they did over northern africa and the Levant even when more forward-thinking empires like the Hittites arose.

>>51072700
>Well nobody knew about inbreeding and it seemed the best way to keep a line clean

Pretty much, and I guess they just never figured out that deformed children and stillborn births were a sign of something wrong. Or rather they probably did but just assumed some god was angry.

>Which of the Egyptian gods would you put in your settings?

Amun-Re (or whatever you want to call him), Isis, Osiris, Seth, Horus, Bastet, Sekhmet, Neith, Ptah (or possibly Knhum if you're a southerner), Nephtys, Bes... This is turning into the Prince of Egypt song.

There's was nothing special about the 18th dynasty regarding incest, it was widely practiced by the royal families for thousands of years and even foreign rulers adopted the practice as their wanted to appear more godlike to their newly conqured subjects. The 18th dynasty is just the most well understood dynasty; details of the family dynamics of the other royal dynasties are less well known. In fact ancient Egypt is one of the most notorious examples of societies where incest was practiced among commoners and wasn't taboo.
>>
>>51073134
>There's was nothing special about the 18th dynasty regarding incest,

That's what I meant. While Akhenaten certainly performed a lot of large-scale reforms (or tried to), he was still sticking by the tried and true when it came to courtly life. He just moved the whole thing out to Amarna.

Note that inbreeding can be ignored easily when children mortality is high anyway.

If 4 out of 5 children die anyway, how do you know yous die because you fucked with your daughter.

Even modern nobles continued marrying cousin anyway.
I think the most important factor is the fact you want to marry with some one of the same rank, for pharaoh, it's only the family (even if there was slaves too probably).

>Yeah, ideally they'd start out in a museum where an actual Egyptologist, voiced by GM, gives an hour long lecture on ancient Egypt.

On the off chance OP is playing "Adventure Ho!" with murder hobos, send them to generic marketplace so Conan-clone can punch out a spitting camel.

>Otherwise, actual Egyptologist becomes their NPC guide to the setting. They arrive at the Egyptian seaport, tour some authentic Egyptian cities, ride the Nile river closer to their destination. Usually the only places where adventure happens are "newly discovered tombs" lost for centuries.

Whether new clues to its location or uncovered by earthquake, this is so cinematic GMs and Hollywood don't have to worry about historical accuracy. Really mummies are a little "dry," and they don't do much besides sit in their coffins. Players usually want a little more adventure than that, so skip the museum go to the market, fight bandits, fight monsters, explore ruins, fight guarians, dodge traps, fight monster, divide the loot between adventurers and "the museum."

>Seriously, there's some stuff you donate to a museum because it is cursed, and you don't even want to try reading what is written on it.

Adventure hooks, but try not to look directly at it and wear gloves while you're putting it in the "donation box" and nailing the lid shut.

Nah. Ritual cleanliness really isn't the same thing as hygiene. The germ theory of disease wasn't developed until much later. Would you argue that the prohibitions against clothing of mixed fibers and against goat meat mixed with milk were cleanliness ones as well? No. These prohibitions are primarily a religious matter and about not worshipping pagan gods. Keep in mind that the Jewish bible largely consisted of conservative monotheist nationalists who were preaching to the illiterate pagan peasant Canaanites.

Apophis is an interesting piece of Mythology

As a god it was prayed against instead of to, any images of it always had to also contain another god to mitigate the risk of giving it more power, small models of it were frequently made just to be spat on and generally abused, and priests handed out booklets on fighting Apophis when you got to the afterlife

>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnian_pyramid_claims

The tldr version is that there's an ancient-astronauts-tier nutjob from Yugoslavia who keeps claiming that a series of hills in Bosnia (that are very obviously just hills) are actually giant pyramids that outdate the ones in Egypt and Mesopotamia. He's been proven wrong repeatedly but he keeps making the claim and using it to support a narrative that Bosnians created civilization and spread it around the world.

So yeah, to continue what the original anon was saying, pretty much every ethnic/cultural group has their own brand of pseudohistory and pseudoarchaeology that says they're the best and everything important that humanity has ever done descends from them. Just as you have Afrocentrist lunatics claiming that everyone from the ancient Egyptians to the Shang Chinese to the Olmecs to Charlemagne was actually black, you also have Eurocentrist lunatics/white supremacists claiming that everyone from the ancient Egyptians to the ancient Ethiopians to the builders of Great Zimbabwe to the twelve-foot race of giants that ruled over the pre-Columbian Americas were white.

As long as that stuff stays in the fringe where it belongs I think it's actually kind of fun. I would love to play games set in some of the worlds from these people's delusions.

>the ancient Egyptians to the ancient Ethiopians... were white
Depends on your definition. The ancient Egyptians are related to the Berbers who live in North Africa today, and they are caucasoid, most closely related to other North Africans, Middle Easterners, Indo-Aryans, and Europeans.

Ancient Ethiopia is a bit more of a mess and depends on when you look at it. The most ancient Ethiopia likely contained Somalids, like the rest of the Horn, and tests have been done on those to show that they're (Somalids) more closely related to Caucasoids than they are Sub-Saharan Africans. The thinking is that they split off from the ancestors of Caucasoid populations very early on, before lighter skin and softer hair evolved, but after the facial structure had (if you look at the people in somewhere like Somalia today, most of them have flatter, thinner faces and narrow noses like Caucasoids have) and thus they generally get lumped in there with them.

Now, back to Ethiopia, it was later invaded by the Bantu migrations. If you don't know that those are, it's when the native people of West Africa decided to invade all of Africa they could get to (which was most sub-saharan africa) and genocide the natives living there, replacing them with their own. Bantu-descended people are what you normally think of when you think of Africans.) Basically, they couldn't make it beyond Ethiopia, but they did make it there. As a consequences, Ethiopia became pretty Bantu for a while. But then even later, a back migration of Arabs came, and their men breed with the Bantu women there. The end result is that Ethiopia has a ton of ethnicities, but the end result is that 62% of the blood of the two largest ethnicities (who are coincidentally 61% of the population) is Caucasoid of Somalid and Arab type. So you wouldn't call them white even if you conflated that with 'Caucasoid', but when you start talking about minority ethnicities like the Somalids in Ethiopia, you could.

There was a previous thread with good results, but I'm not finding it on the archives.

What I remember is that religion and government are one and the same, the priesthood is also the bureocraucy, taxes are the pharaoh's due etc.

The civilization is very stable and long-lived, but the temples enforce a estagnation in arts and general culture.

Delicious brown catgirls are actually fitting, as Bastet was a goddess of joy, music, dance, motherhood and love. They would be bards, courtesans and wives of the favoured ones.

Actual egyptian clothing was often skimpier than many current pop depictions. Some long dresses let the breasts bare and were see through.

Someone thought of a dark umber hulk that gathered up waste to burrow and feed its larvae. You could find one rolling a huge fetid ball of assorted nastiness down the street, and the locals are going to defend it if you attack their valuable pet.

I ran a game once where pagan gods left Earth and took thousands of people with them (may or may not have happened after watching Stargate), and each pantheon founded a new civilization in their own star systems. The system of Egypt was comprised of planets arranged at the Lagrange points of the same orbit, each one a carefully sculpted paradise. The souls of the righteous dead went to the Sun, to fuse with Ra in a divine collective of wisdom and experience that could be tapped into by the Pharaohs. Their bodies were mummified and fused with divine technology to become undead magic cyborg super soldiers that wait in the orbital pyramids to come to the realm's aid. The cowardly and criminal were cast out into the void to feed Sobek the cosmic crocodile, who patrolled the system's outer reaches against foreign danger.

we can live in cold places, really good at trading, historically good at building empires and bureaucracy, bonus to thrusting swords, metallurgy, armor, and engineering.

negatives: we live in cold places, we get skin cancer really easily, and if the economy crashes we are completely useless until it gets fixed somehow.

>Brazilians
Brazilians actually are mostly blacks and mulattoes, so he was right there.

>Indonesians
He's very wrong there, though. They're mostly Austronesians and Asians. Generally fairly mixed between the two. Maybe he was confusing them with Papua New Guinea? Which is full of Melanasians who are also not black, but who have a close resemblance so it's hard to blame him for the conflation.

Cute, you moved on to this thread when you were blown the fuck out in the last one.

REMINDER THAT ANCIENT EGYPTIAN RULERS WERE CAUCASIAN, AS HAS BEEN PROVEN BY GENETIC RESEARCH.
>>
>>51087475
Which thread're you talking about?

That said, it depends on your definition of Caucasian, but they 100% were Caucasoid, genetics tests have shown this. If he's arguing that they're not, then he's probably just trolling.

Not all of them, you dumbfuck, learn history. The Kushite rulers were black.

You mean, mostly native americans and spanish.

>>51087499
It's ironic how /pol/cucks are quick to claim Egypt as "white" yet when people discuss ISIS and the Middle-East being a fucking shitheap of retarded religious crazies, the North-Africans and Arabs suddenly no longer count as white.

Brazil was a massive slaver nation, the number of African/african descended slaves was higher than the amount of Iberian Portugese owners by far

A period of instability that Africa is getting out of

the 90s are over. Ghana, Angola, Gabon are rising. Chad is a regional power. Algeria and Morocco are stable enough to bitch over Azawad and the Western Sahara. South Africa maintains a tough industrial base. Kenya and Tanzania are forming the East African Community. Ethiopia has had enough of Somalia and Eritrea's shit and flexes like no tomorrow. Nigeria pats down the north and flows oil out of the south.

The continent is fine. A few countries in it are not. Boo-hoo. The skyscrapers and highways still rise.

>>51082943
>Coptic Egyptians
So you are saying the descentand of extremely mixed population that was the effect of Roman rule,and before that few different countries conquering, ruling and breeding in Egypt are representative, because they fit your theory?

Ever since the fall of 20th dynasty, Egypt was a non-entity. For next 1000 years it was ruled by foreigners: barbarian tribes, Assirians, Persians, Greeks and then ceased to be a country, integrated into Roman Republic, soon after Empire. Where it remained for next 600 years.
You seriously assume any kind of "native" stock survived in one of the most cosmopolitan regions of the ancient world?

And here is a clue - Copts don't match genetically any of the mummified remains. They instead match Greeks.
Rings you any bells?
>>
>>51088263
While I agree with your post, this part:
>South Africa maintains a tough industrial base
Is not exactly true. SA is progressively getting worse and worse over past 20 years, while the industry is shrinking.
>>
>>51088263
I am genuinely optimistic about Africa's prospects. So long as they can fend off China until it implodes in the next ~50 years they should be in a nice strong position.

So long as they don't go full Boko Haram.

Of course last time I was feeling optimistic about this sort of thing Zimbabwe happened not long after and ruined everything for everyone.
>>
>>51088410
SA is going through a political renaissance. Young (black) people aren't going to vote for ANC because they got rid of apartheid. Young (black) people in SA want a party that actually does something for SA.
>>
>>51087978
Actually when you look at genetic changes in people, almost nothing changes. Common people aren't displaced. Only the rulers and nobility are displaced.

The ancient egyptians are the same egyptians as the modern egyptians.
>>
>>51088443
B-but muh kangz!
>>
>>51088431
And I'm not saying it's not true. I'm just pointing out how fucked up the situation in SA got over the years and in how bad shape is their industry. On the other hand, they are still one of few places that has their own industry, rather than being taken over by Chinese

You couldn't be more wrong. Especially after Arab conquest in early medieval.

What the fuck did I just say you goddamn /pol/cuck. Read a fucking history book.

The only things that change when a culture is conquered by another culture, is which people run the society. The common people do not change. Ever.

When the English got German royalty, did the English suddenly become Germans? No. Shut the fuck up you goddamn cocksucking mongoloid wanker cunt.

Are you by chance Egyptian butthurt about your Arabic roots or something?
>>
>>51088725
No, I actually read up to date books from the uni library instead of wiki'ing shit.
>>
>>51088761
Yeah, the "up to date", meaning published in the 60s and 70s, long before DNA sequencing became a things.
Deal with it - ancient Egyptians, as a distinctive ethnicity, cease to be a thing around Roman times

Also, you should learn how to use ad homs and how to imply lack of knowledge. Just randomly accusating people doesn't work. You need to first lay groundwork for it.

>If I compare 3000 years of migrations, conquest and changing circumstances with establishment of single dynasty, it will somehow make my example stick or work at all.
Son, you've failed logical reasoning forever.

You never went to uni, did you? Or are you a fucking Mexican or some shit?

You still didn't get the memo about inefficient ad homs the previous time?

I've got a clue for you. List us all those up-to-date publications that strenghten your arguments. After all, they are abundant. And don't say you can't remember them, because if you were attending uni, you still have your library card with full history of your readings, Oh, the glorious digital age, with everyone living a track that can be accessed at any time, anywhere in the world!

Egypt was way more lewd, irl.

Shows what you know, Anons.

The ancient Egyptians wore the minimum of clothing. Men were commonly bare chested and barefoot. They wore a tunic around their waist. Women commonly wore a loose draped or see-through fabric. Women entertainers performed naked. Children went without clothing until puberty, at about age 12.
