"And at the last from inner Egypt came
The strange dark One to whom the fellahs bowed;
Silent and lean and cryptically proud,
And wrapped in fabrics red as sunset flame.
Throngs pressed around, frantic for his commands,
But leaving, could not tell what they had heard;
While through the nations spread the awestruck word
That wild beasts followed him and licked his hands.
Soon from the sea a noxious birth began;
Forgotten lands with weedy spires of gold;
The ground was cleft, and mad auroras rolled
Down on the quaking citadels of man.
Then, crushing what he chanced to mould in play,
The idiot Chaos blew Earth's dust away.
—H. P. Lovecraft, Nyarlathotep
There's something about egypt that makes it a nice ingredience in horror, I mean, if you find an anchient egpytian artifact in a story, things are probably not going to work out well for you. Perhaps its the mummy thing, mummies are basically like zombies, only harder to defeat, since they have almost completely dried up. Depending on which zombie interpetation you go by, the zombie apocalypse might turn out to be a rather temporary nucance as Decomposers such as maggots or beetles decay the zombies, and the only places where zombies will be more than a remporary problem is in the frozen north (Ice zombies), salt-preserved carribian zombie pirates (aaarrr, brains!) and of course, in the desert with mummies and dried-up corpses. So yeah, them oral of all this is don't go to egypt, egypt will kill you, slowly and without mercy. Actually, based on what people whove been to egypt have told me it's way more likely that they will just want to sell you stuff...
