Create A Card 102

I enjoyed the last round (thanks Canabiest!), so let's keep things going: Design a flavorful top-down card that could be in a set with an Ancient Egypt theme. For a starting point, here are some possibilities to consider (but don't hesitate to do something else if you have another idea):

Mummies, pyramids, monuments, hieroglyphs, gods, sun worship, river/flooding, pharaohs, slaves, chariots, desert, sphinxes.

Note: I've also enjoyed the quick turnaround on these things lately, so judging will probably be done on Friday morning. Grades will be:

4/10 Flavor
3/10 Functionality (i.e. the card should be clean and work as printed)
3/10 Balance
