First off I would like to say that this map was not solely created by me. Myself and two of my friends (real life friends) do most of our forging as a joint operation. The following map was created by:
Gamertags: JoJaSc
doorknockers
Khaos13

Along with this map we have made many more that we would like to share with the forging community. Try the map and let us know what you think.
This map is called PHARAOH'S TOMB. It is based on the style of an egyptian pyramid. Inside there are many passageways, some of which lead to weapon caches and others to objectives. Players must use stealth and cunning to locate superior firepower in order to annihilate their foes. This one map can be used in two different ways (with the respective variants). Players may either fight to reach the heart of the pyramid in the King of the Tomb variant, fight to take control of the pyramid in the territories version, called Tomb Raider, or attempt to reclaim the tomb as the pharaoh in Pharaoh'sReturn.

Just a note on the weapon caches: In ancient Egyptian pyramids pharaohs would put up defenses such as spells to protect their pyramids. The weapon areas with turrets shotguns and such are there to use in defense of the pyramid. There are also hidden weapons located within hidden passageways and rooms in the pyramid. This is another part based on an ancient Egyptian pyramid. Hidden treasures would be placed within secret areas of the pyramid. The hidden sword and flamethrower were our way of transferring this feel into Halo.

I would like to also add a few thanks in here. The hidden passage containing the sword was done based on the suggestion of ninni21 over at the bungie forums. Secondly I would also like to thank voodoo for supporting our map and also nominating it for one of the best maps of 2007. So thank you voodoo.

With all of that aside here is:
