17 Lost Egyptian Pyramids Found From Space. Indiana Jones found success with little more than a bullwhip and a fedora. These days however, if you want to make your mark as an archaeologist, a bit of space technology works wonders. Satellites have helped locate 17 pyramids and 3,000 ancient settlements hidden underground in Egypt. More than 1,000 burial sites were also discovered thanks to infra-red technology capable of probing beneath the desert sands from 450 miles above the Earth. Pyramid of Djoser: Many more are thought to be buried underground.
The cameras on the satellites are so powerful that they can precisely image objects on Earth that are less than one meter in diameter Astounded researchers on the ground have already confirmed that two of the pyramids exist – and they believe there are thousands more unknown sites in the region. NASA-funded archaeologist Sarah Parcak said: ‘I couldn’t believe we could locate so many sites. The finds are hugely significant. She said: ‘These are just the sites close to the surface. Senet - An Egyptian Board Game. Oddly enough, no rules for Senet have ever been found, either written on papyrus or painted on a tomb wall. It appears as though the game may have been so popular that it was taught entirely by word of mouth from one player to another, because almost everyone knew how to play it anyway. Still, a number of people have created what they believe are the closest reconstructions of the rules of Senet, based on tomb paintings of the game, references to it in Egyptian writing, and by looking at its descendants: games such as Dublets, Tables, and our modern Backgammon.
The Senet board is made up of 30 squares in three rows of ten squares apiece, like so: The squares are numbered on the first row 1-10 from left to right, on the second row 11-20 right to left, and on the third row 21-30 left to right. Squares 26 through 30 have symbols on them, as does square 15, which in some variations is the starting point for the pieces. What follow are two reconstructions of the rules. The Game of Senet.

We have many gameplay changes planned, such as removing the Roman faction and replacing it with an AI controlled horde of zombies. This transformation will probably take a few weeks to complete.
