Very cool stuff. I read about the Sudanese pharaohs in Natl Geographic years ago, and they keep popping up. I hope they're able to id the stone, as Sudanese pyramids look to be made of black stone locally obtainable

This tomb has undergone several periods of restoration over the years and lot of it was to preserve the delicate wall paintings from decay and damage caused by tourist’s breaths. Not joking, really.
also despite its grandeur, the tomb was not the final resting place of Ramesses II. His mummified remains were moved to the Royal Cache, a hidden chamber designed to hide pharaoh bodies from robbers.

Cool find, not too surprising since Egypt is their northern neighbour.

This is a great subsection to add. I recently purchased Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise and Fall of the Comanches, the Most Powerful Indian Tribe in American History, which i expect to be a great read. It has a 5 star rating on amazon which seems good
​
Another interesting thing i've read recently was a blog on the historical side of why we create new year's resolutions What is the Origin of the New Year's Resolution? I thought it was really cool, it apparently goes back to rome.
​
hope yall enjoy!

Like someone mentioned, ‘Stainless Steel’ mod is great. Fractures the map into more and smaller factions, culture-specific units, etc. Makes that grand old game ‘new’ again for you! 👍👍
