Necropolis Gameplay

Richard does believe the kneeling dog-headed figure may be the representation of an Egyptian god, either Anubis or Set. The scene shares similarities to the Weighing of the Heart ceremony, where the gods judged if a person could enter the afterlife however the deceased animals on the scale are most likely representations of other powerful Egyptian gods; thus, the image may be a form of ceremonial perversion or desecration.

Baz turns the light to inspect the northern mural which depicts a sickening scene of an Egyptian city being attacked by an army of horrific beings. there are two notable types of creature: those with the bodies of men and the heads of animals, who wield various weapons, and those with the bodies of animals and the heads of men. Black tendrils burst from the ground and sky, tearing the city and its occupants apart. Some of the creatures eat corpses that have been laid upon tables, while others frolic in the chaos. A pharaoh, robed entirely in black, is depicted with an impossibly dark face and seated atop a pyramid-like throne borne by the hybrid monsters, he is being carried through the horrific scene.
