Did you know that the pic that was used in the Dragon Magazine introducing the revised setting (a sketch for the temple found on the revised setting box) was a near copy of the artist David Roberts renowed for his lithographies on Egypt?

I made the connection years ago with this book I own, Egyptian Voyages ([url=http://images-eu.amazon.com/images/P/2878300297.08.LZZZZZZZ.jpg]Voyage en

This is not from a book but its pictures that could easily be found in a hundred books.

The great builders called nabateans (remember that gorgeous canyon ruin in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade?).

I have a few of them on my wall that I got while I was in Turkey. Those pics don't really do them justice: there's gobs of detail you can't see.

prolly too obvious for comfort...but Brom put out 2 books of art, one Darkwerks has a suprising number of the paintings used for dark sun covers, and some others that well, still feel right for the setting.
