Luxor Egypt and the Valley of the Kings

A great basic / beginner's map, something I don't have much of, with an easy terrain and everything you need "delivered to you" right to the start square-
Luxor is the site of ancient Thebes, the capital of Upper Egypt. The famous Valley of the Kings, where the pharaohs are buried, is also nearby and is inside the playable area of this map in the far upper NW corner.

There aren't many Middle East maps in the Workshop, so this is the first of a few to remedy that!

Grow your massive city here!
Tons of very flat, level land
Tons of resources
Start square is full of what a starting city needs
Water flow of Nile is extremely fast
Tunnels are not a problem under the river (By including enough land below the river and smooth banks that are not extreme)
Four of each transport connection except shipping, which has 3.

This map started with the original heightmap, run through Wilbur, and then perfected by hand in the CS map editor.
