Credits - Egyptian stuff from Daz Anton's Treasure of Egypt and The Sacred Barge.
Comments - The moon is two spheres coaligned, with a bright yellow glow attached, the water is an infinite plane, the original sky was a photo used as background, IN POST I dropped down the three d effect by using tone mapping, also used the object pass to select the spheres and add a blur - used a star field generator for the stars SpaceScape Spacescape – Alex Peterson (alexcpeterson.com) , there's also a fog primitive thrown in but not sure oif it made any difference

Title of Work - Wetlands of the Nile Delta
Link to WIP - https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/7743666/#Comment_7743666
Credits - Some of the plants are from Howie Farkes, Dartanbeck, and RDNA (and my own creations)
Comments - People often think only of the desert when they hear ancient Egypt. But the Nile Delta was also a gift of the Nile. Referred to as Lower Egypt, it is estimated that half of the Egyptian population lived in these expansive wetlands. Dynastic history typically starts with the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. Landscape was made with Carrara terrain modeler. I created the height maps and replicator distribution maps in an image editor. I modeled some of the grass in the vertex modeler. Sky is the Carrara realistic sky.

Title of Work: Misplaced Traveler: Elise Elger (Stargate Mission: Top RAman)
Link to WIP: https://www.daz3d.com/forums/uploads/FileUpload/8d/641083da2d7f34b65ed5b472df08fc.jpg
Credits: V4 with Phil W hair, Amy skin, ankh symbol from DAZ store, Carrara primitives and textures, and used ON1 Photoraw, Topaz and PSE as needed, backdrop from FilterForge,
Loosely inspired by "STARGATE" MGM movie 1994
Comments: While only marginally meeting the challenge topic I wanted to pay homage to the original Stargate movie. Just like you don't want to have a surgery named after you (eg Tommy John elbow), I guess you don't want a place in the Stargate history museum. But she will be back. The only question is when (in whose referenc frame?}. .
Not the image I had in mind, but have to move on or I won't get my main pic done. An interesting factoid I found while researching the original film: the beginning part of the movie (cut for time I guess) showed them digging up one of those big guys with an animal head that was encased in sand. Evidently it tried to portal in, was buried and preserved in sand. See how easy it is to get misplaced? Risky buxiness.
Probably TMI but I've been feeling worse and worse while I've been doing these. I worked for major NASA subcontractors right before the Challlenger and Columbia incidents. Art must be cathartic. Anyways I'll just say many are gone, but ther're not forgotten.

Title of Work - Young Cleopatra Meets the God of Death
Link to WIP - https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/7826341/#Comment_7826341
Credits - Young Cleopatra is Josie 6. The priestess is G3F, with the (mostly) standard Egyptian Outfit for G3F, Both headresses are from Pharohs of the Sun for V4. The tattoos are a Marcius skin (Alpha) no longer available at Daz. The palace guards are all variations of D3 and his Egyptian guard outfit. The flames/energy are Jepes billboards augmented by Carrara lights. Background structures are from Temple of the Pharohs. Osiris is composed of a statue included in the Ancient Egypt Exhibit, and the beard is from Luthbel's Anunnaki.
Comments - Osiris was the Egyptian god of death, among other things.
Effects in Carrara included edge falloff and depth of field. And the GMIC plugin played a major role. No postwork.

#5 - KHOE - Market in Old Egypt.
I felt that this met the challenge perfectly.
#2 - Bunyip02 - Anubis at the Gate to the Afterworld
I liked the glowing gate but it was more about the afterworld. The Egyptians were very entrenched in afterworld beliefs.
#7 - Diomede - Welcome to the Neighborhood
This one tied with #8 and # 11 had to choose one. Also loved the Wetland Nile picture but there was nothing in it to show that it was Egyptian.
#14 - Unified Brain - Young Cleopatra
