Here is an interesting adventure, in the works, by @murdock : LOST PYRAMID OF ANUB-RE.

It's written for 2e, and, already features several new monsters(!!).

On Aerth, I'd recommend placing it in:
* Keshu,
* Meroe,
* Darfur,
* Aetheope, or
* The Nubian Oversight.

Prespos

Ps.
Any thoughts on where to place I3-5 on Aerth?
I wouldn't place it in Aegypt, as DJ4 Necropolis (which has been translated into 3e) already takes place in Aegypt.

I was curious about when that was:

The Pharaohs of the 19th dynasty ruled for approximately one hundred and ten years: from c. 1292 to 1187 BC.

Since the comprehensive NECROPOLIS campaign takes place in Aegypt, I'd place this one in one of the other Egyptian realms, like I would with I3-5 DESERT OF DESOLATION, which I might place south of the Nubian Oversight.
Thanks again for these great links: they really help, and absolutely represent the vision I have for Aerth!

The beautiful Selket, goddess of scorpions and magic. 18th dynasty.


Remember to incl. Giant Scorpions on your encounter tables (see the MONSTER MANUAL).
Giant Scorpions are mutants, perhaps from GAMMA WORLD.
Perhaps, there is a gate to GAMMA WORLD, in a Temple of Selket?

Quote:
Sekhmet in all her golden glory.

Wikipedia: In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet /ˈsɛkˌmɛt/[1] or Sachmis (/ˈsækmɨs/; also spelled Sakhmet, Sekhet, or Sakhet, among other spellings) was originally the warrior goddess as well as goddess of healing for Upper Egypt, when the kingdom of Egypt was divided. She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. It was said that her breath formed the desert. She was seen as the protector of the pharaohs and led them in warfare.
