The Chronicles Series: Egypt Playing Cards is a set of three meticulously crafted decks, each inspired by one of the main periods of ancient Egypt: the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom. The tuck box for the Old Kingdom Deck features a hieroglyph foiled in bronze, symbolizing the writing systems that were the lifeblood of the pharaohs’ power and the backbone of the administrative state. The back shows a map of the Nile River valley, highlighting key regions like Memphis, the administrative capital, and the Nile Delta, the agricultural heartland of the Old Kingdom.
