Hey Thomas, I've noticed that in the few names we have went over in Humanities at school, now that you mention it. I was under the impression that we were just using the Greek names I didn't realize that some English translations were the same as the Greek names. Thanks for telling me that, learn something new everyday. I do like the idea of the character searching maybe the Incas' ancient toombs, the Mayan's toombs, and like you said many other opportunities are out there. This is a great idea. Bean

Hi Richard, Well, some of the Egyptian and gods and goddesses names are exactly the same in English as ancient Egyptian like Osiris and Isis for example. However, for the god Set hostorians don't all agree on the proper name for him. It really depends on who translated the name, and I guess there is some tricky reading of the heirogliphs for his name. Though, most historians refer to him commonly as Set. At this point I am just brain storming ideas for the Tomb Hunter game. I like Egyptian history as well as the next Historian, but that is but one possible game plot. I can easily see my new Tomb Hunter character exploring deep in some African or South American jungle, looking through some ancient mountains, searching a desert, etc... Bottom line, our history is filled with thousands of quests for some mystical and mythical item or place like Atlantice, the Spear of Destany, Arc of the Covenant, Excalibur, fountain of youth, just to name some of the more popular choices. I could write an entire series of games surrounding this game character if the games become that popular. If I run out of the usual suspects I can venture into more Sci-fi relms seaking some long lost alien artifact left hear by some alien race that visited our planet in ancient times. Basically, there is allot of options here. Richard Bennett wrote: > Hey Tom, well I believe I prefer Apophis to Set.
