You should put some in-game background story for the historical places in your game -at least I think that would be cool.
There was a historian character in Final Fantasy 10 that traveled around and would tell you long stories about areas in the game.
He says one of my favorite lines from that game- after he's told you a big long historical tale about "who did what to whom and why in ancient days", he finishes by saying "... or maybe not. Who knows?" Kind of sums up the role of the historian- trying to draw a solid conclusion about a past world from little surviving fragments. While still keeping his mind open enough that he doesn't confine his thinking to a fallacy. . . or maybe not. Who knows? 
Anyways, I put together a couple Egyptian themed parts (attached) that might work somewhere. There are positioning issues with the process that converts models to SoM's format so the Pharaoh needs to be set high (+0.7 Y should do it) and 'no shadow'.
Were you wanting a scarab item like a ring/necklace or an actual scarab beetle model? It would be pretty easy to make a 'wall tapestry' sort of item that you can texture with any Egyptian pictures you liked- if that would help. :)
