8 yrs, 2 mths since last update
An upgrade from my old map, which only goes up to the 13th dynasty, this one goes to the 17th, like last time every tomb and temple is laid out to the most accurate of my abilities.
Inaccuracies and other notes:
-The Medium pyramid, Bent Pyramid, and Red pyramid are all in the northeast of the map, couldn't put them near Dashur like they are in real life
-Instead of being burned in the 1st intermediate period, the tombs of the first pharoahs are still mostly intact, mostly for players to explore
-Abydos is just south of Memphis and right next to the Great Pyramid, one of it's tombs is actually covered up by it's causeway, in real life its a separate city much further south
-Khafre's pyramid is only covered on top by casing, mostly to be lazy and keep it realistic at the same time
-Memphis is in between Saqqara and Abusir, even though it should be above them both
-I have only covered the King's whose names we know, missing names will not be included
-I had to take creative liberties when it came to undiscovered tombs, especially in the intermediate periods
-I have several books scattered about that have lists of all the pharaohs that I've included, these were mostly for me to remember which kings I've covered
-I've made it so that Tanis serves the role of Avaris as capital of the Hyskos rulers
-The only tombs built are the ones of Kings and other noblemen of good enough importance, to build a tomb for every single nobleman and priest would take way too long by myself
-A made up faction exists called the "Den of Thieves" their job was to steal the valuables from tombs to share with themselves, it was mostly so none of the treasures in any tombs would go to waste, their headquarters are in a cave in Tanis
-You'll see random little towers throughout the map, those were to provide me a sense of direction before I made the teleporter network, you can use them for yourself if you want
-Some kings are buried with diaries, just to provide some more insight to the time period
-When I started this map a year ago, I took much more creative liberties than I do now, as a result Narmer's story is much more inaccurate
-You should contact me before doing anything with this map, such as using it for a server or making a youtube tour, I would be very happy to help with anything just as long as I know about it
Cities on map: Memphis, Thebes, Aswan, Heliopolis, Tanis, Licst, Dashur, Abydos
YOU WILL NEED THIS TEXTURE PACK TO USE THE MAP
