Are there any good and clear images of Historical Hieroglyphic Egyptian (or SF Egyptian) passageways, suitable for Mummy, Wargods, WHFB and Stargate?

Basically, if someone were to make styrene sheets for Egyptian type walls/passageways and floors, what sort of look would you suggest?

Please provide links of examples.

Thanks.

The Usborne paper Egyptan Temple is what the guys at Crocodile Games used.

I really want to thank you for all the examples, particularly those with smaller, vertical-running hieroglyphs.

Very inspiring.

I've used the above mentioned Khemri Project printouts. They are very nice! To make them "my own" I print them in b&w, and hand color them. It is also much less expensive than using color printing. (printer ink is the biggest rip-off in all the pc world). I also have gotten pretty good at drawing/painting in the Egyptian style, and familiar enough with hieroglyphic writing to decorate my tomb and temple walls.

Here is a simple method I used for reproducing gylphs in a 3D mode of low relief. I have the toy Egyptian Adventure set sold as a Fisher Price knock-off. The set includes doors of blow-moulded plastic with gylphs. I use pieces of Sculpy in a long strip rounded on each end (a cartouche shape) to press into the door and transfer the details. Then I bake the Sculpy pieces and glue them for surface detail. Yes, this might be border-line copying. I don't feel too badly about riping off the Chinese toy that is a bit of a rip-off already.

QUESTION:

Any good online sources for diagrams/layouts of Egyptian tombs and their passageways?

Select atlas of choice, then select the maps tab: thebanmappingproject.com

I know it is only remotely related to the topic, but I just love this scene:

The first scene is THE LAMEST in the whole flick. Glad you didn't mean to choose it. The other two have been deleted by You Tube.
