Old video games love Ancient Egypt, so post as many levels inspired by it.
Good if it has the Egyptian flute music.
Even better if Tutankhamen's Mask shows up as a boss.

What was the fascination with egypt/pyramid levels? Just a unique and recognizable point in history that's easy to make levels of? I mean, you dont see many Greek or Aztec stages in video games as much as Egypt.

There's only so many biomes you can get create with. You have grass/plains/fields, forest, lake/water, ice/snow, mines/cave/crystals, factory/industrial, then you get into the funky ones like alien planet, alien spaceship/deathstar, and heaven or hell.

Desert is one of the "standard" biomes. You can either go for the Middle Eastern/Egyptian desert or you can go for the "Wild West" desert with cactuses. If you literally just use plain desert then the whole level would be sand dunes and nothing else, so they add little quirks like buildings, obelisks, pyramids etc, it ends up as an Egyptian variant.

I forgot a few like Ruins/Temple as well. There's more, but it's been exhausted really. You can see they tried to be creative with Sonic Mania by adding things like Studiopolis zone; then you end up in the creative arts territory and you have to get more specific like a "Music" zone, or a "Workbench" zone.

There was a spate of pulp fiction Egyptian horror novels and movies in the mid 1980-90s. Its a genre that occasionally sparks off and always has come around periodically from the early mommy movies to the myths surrounding the curse of Tutankhamun It was not just videogames. Like with zombie stuff the last few decades..

I wouldn't be too sure. There are old games that use Greek buildings subtly (sometimes on heaven levels), actraiser/columns/populous 2 and one or other Aztec-themed feature tho often not a whole game (donald in mallard).
I suppose egypt is that much recognizable, which is one of the appeals, yeah, you don't always find a desert civilization that also has mysticism on top of it, although I don't see it as often today.

back then I had a demo of s3 that showed a glimpse of the egyptian level and I thought "wtf looks like the coolest thing ever".
