[Desert Temple - David Watkins] Stepping into the squared entryway of the now uncovered Temple of Rahk Azur, you feel the soft sands below your feet give way to your imprints reminding you of your trespassing. The distant clattering of the disintegrating sandstone structure doing nothing to calm your nerves, instead you feel your heart racing and your body reaching fever pitch. Examining the remnants of eroded carvings on the walls depicting scenes of worship and torture, you nearly lose your footing as you reach shallow steps leading upwards. With only a few to climb your eyes don’t leave the sight before you. Upon a sacrificial altar made of carved grey stone, lays the last victim of the ancient barbaric practice. Flesh long since desiccated with its limbs still shackled as though it would attempt to rise once again, the head hanging over the edge of the altar, mouth gaping emitting an endless silent scream. Tearing away from this display of horror and savagery, you look ahead to see the decaying entryway into the catacombs. With the curved, crumbling ceiling above built by ancient, long-lost hands, the meager light from outside holds no sway in this expansive interior. Holding your blazing torch ahead of you as your only form of sanctuary in the gloom you forge forward, anxious to reach the legendary tomb of the one who gave his name to this forsaken place. 📌 Here's another ambience for your RPG sessions or for your projects, a desert temple, with ghostly voices, unsettling drones, undefined noises, and many others. You can expect many more ambient creations like this one! You need a special ambience for your RPG sessions ? Just ask, and I create it !
Man I really love the music, the sounds, I use some of your soundtracks for my DnD Campaigns, my group says the sounds really make the setting, keep up the good work.
I just bought a Bluetooth speaker for my family’s first dnd game (ever) where I’ll be running them through a pyramid and I do believe I shall be using this
I really dig (heh) the occasional grinding stone sounds and the phantom singing is really eerie! The only thing that would make this better is some distant shuffling footsteps. One of my favorites!
I do like the high voices/sounds starting at 5:55 very much. Pity that scorpions don't really make sounds, or do they? ;-) A little bit more sand would have been nice, or wind ... probably both but I have no idea how that could be accomplished in this already fine ambience! :-)
Thank you ! I didn't think about scorpions but that's a good idea! Didn't include more sand or wind because I was imagining an interior desert temple, less sandy than the one on the picture ^_^
@@SwordsmanMercenary "I mean, why leave? The center of this place is built on top of a reservoir so it also defends a well. Can you hear running water?

Oh, if the current generation of their ancestors were smart, they are still here alright. But that's not the worst part.

I think after the cave update there should be a generated structures update that vastly improves the older generated structures (desert temples, jungle temples, mineshafts, etc.) and even adds some new ones. They should become a lot more dangerous, larger, and have maybe some bosses and mobs and loads of traps that make them very dangerous to explore even if you try to mine around everything. Maybe even get some ambience.
@@Sedulous32072 I think this update is quite possible too. Wanna dream up some structure ideas? I was thinking, for starters, we could have ruins built into the walls of mesa biomes, almost like ancient cities.
This is good, but I've one regret. I don't clearly see the picture behind the text. That would be better with only about 10 seconds with the text, and the rest of the video only with picture and sounds.
This sounds really amazing...Your ambient stuff is super nice ! Btw, I might be wrong, but...Did you use reverbed sounds of Io ? Or am I just dreaming ? I really might be xwx
"Only the age-old silence brooded over the mysterious ruins of Kuthchemes, but Fear was there; Fear quivered in the mind of Shevatas, the thief, driving his breath quick and sharp against his clenched teeth. He stood, the one atom of life amidst the colossal monuments of desolation and decay. Not even a vulture hung like a black dot in the vast blue vault of the sky that the sun glazed with its heat. On every hand rose the grim relics of another, forgotten age: huge broken pillars, thrusting up their jagged pinnacles into the sky; long wavering lines of crumbling walls; fallen cyclopean blocks of stone; shattered images, whose horrific features the corroding winds and dust-storms had half erased. From horizon to horizon no sign of life: only the sheer breathtaking sweep of the naked desert, bisected by the wandering line of a long-dry river course; in the midst of that vastness the glimmering fangs of the ruins, the columns standing up like broken masts of sunken ships-all dominated by the towering ivory dome before which Shevatas stood trembling. The base of this dome was a gigantic pedestal of marble rising from what had once been a terraced eminence on the banks of the ancient river. Broad steps led up to a great bronze door in the dome, which rested on its base like the half of some titanic egg. The dome itself was of pure ivory, which shone as if unknown hands kept it polished. Likewise shone the spired gold cap of the pinnacle, and the inscription which sprawled about the curve of the dome in golden hieroglyphics yards long. No man on earth could read those characters, but Shevatas shuddered at the dim conjectures they raised. For he came of a very old race, whose myths ran back to shapes undreamed of by contemporary tribes." "Any fool could see there was something unnatural about the structure; the winds and suns of three thousand years had lashed it, yet its gold and ivory rose bright and glistening as the day it was reared by nameless hands on the bank of the nameless river. This unnaturalness was in keeping with the general aura of these devil-haunted ruins. This desert was the mysterious expanse lying southeast of the lands of Shem. A few days' ride on camel-back to the southwest, as Shevatas knew, would bring the traveller within sight of the great river Styx at the point where it turned at right angles with its former course, and flowed westward to empty at last into the distant sea. At the point of its bend began the land of Stygia, the dark-bosomed mistress of the south, whose domains, watered by the great river, rose sheer out of the surrounding desert. Eastward, Shevatas knew, the desert shaded into steppes stretching to the Hyrkanian kingdom of Turan, rising in barbaric splendor on the shores of the great inland sea. A week's ride northward the desert ran into a tangle of barren hills, beyond which lay the fertile uplands of Koth, the southernmost realm of the Hyborian races. Westward the desert merged into the meadowlands of Shem, which stretched away to the ocean." "In that ivory dome lay the bones of Thugra Khotan, the dark sorcerer who had reigned in Kuthchemes three thousand years ago, when the kingdoms of Stygia stretched far northward of the great river, over the meadows of Shem, and into the uplands. Then the great drift of the Hyborians swept southward from the cradle-land of their race near the northern pole. It was a titanic drift, extending over centuries and ages. But in the reign of Thugra Khotan, the last magician of Kuthchemes, gray-eyed, tawny-haired barbarians in wolfskins and scale-mail had ridden from the north into the rich uplands to carve out the kingdom of Koth with their iron swords. They had stormed over Kuthchemes like a tidal wave, washing the marble towers in blood, and the northern Stygian kingdom had gone down in fire and ruin. But while they were shattering the streets of his city and cutting down his archers like ripe corn, Thugra Khotan had swallowed a strange terrible poison, and his masked priests had locked him into the tomb he himself had prepared. His devotees died about that tomb in a crimson holocaust, but the barbarians could not burst the door, nor ever mar the structure by maul or fire. So they rode away, leaving the great city in ruins, and in his ivory-domed sepulcher great Thugra Khotan slept unmolested, while the lizards of desolation gnawed at the crumbling pillars, and the very river that watered his land in old times sank into the sands and ran dry. Many a thief sought to gain the treasure which fables said lay heaped about the moldering bones inside the dome. And many a thief died at the door of the tomb, and many another was harried by monstrous dreams to die at last with the froth of madness on his lips." -Robert E. Howard, Black Colossus (1933)

HOW DID IT GO?! TELL ME!
I have this music on retainer for a Pseudo-Ancient Egypt setting I have planned for my players. Does it work well in-session?
I really dig (heh) the occasional grinding stone sounds and the phantom singing is really eerie! The only thing that would make this better is some distant shuffling footsteps. One of my favorites!
Thanks Sheila! You are right, like the sound of a mummy strips rubbing the ground :p
@@MichaelGhelfiStudios HAZA!
And maybe some sweet desert music.
PERFECT for my Egyptian Rituals!!! Thank you!!! Love it!!!
My pleasure :)
It sounds like there would be a lot of mummies in there! 😱💀😱💀😱
Man, I could have used some of these videos for a few chapters of my book I just wrote ... will have to revisit when I get round to editing.
Great work mate, helped a bunch to write some desert pieces I was working on. Appreciate it!

TomeOfBattle I know that sentence too well...
I don't like sand. It's course, rough, and irritating. And it gets everywhere.
I used it for a brief meditation regarding ANCIENT EGYPT and the Khemetic Gods. Thank you for using it in the future.
Mysterious and creepy. I love it! This is exactly what I needed for inspiration for a scene I'm trying to write!
my group is in the desert now, this is perfect!
Haha mine too.
Watched the whole thing in one day.
Darkness lies heavy in the air here...the darkness...of a curse...
It doesn't make sense, why put a temple here so far from the rest of civilization?
Some things are meant to be lost to the sands
Swordsmanmercenary ever heard of egypt
@@willw1523 Yes and most those places used to be closer to civilization at the time they were new. Trade routes changed, or water sources vanished.
Either the people around the temple had houses made of wood or some other organic matter, or the temple also served as a hideout.
@@rachdarastrix5251 Quite possible. We'd best tread lightly, it might still be a hideout.
@@SwordsmanMercenary "I mean, why leave? The center of this place is built on top of a reservoir so it also defends a well. Can you hear running water?

I want to explore the temple in the photo real bad.
Man I bet you’d see some cool stuff.
@@arandomzoomer4837 And some dangerous stuff too. A temple like this can't be that safe to roam around in
I mostly just listen to things like this to get inspiration for my book series The Tales of Azora.
That desert cave cleans up nice. Now I just need to find some water for the river.
Uh oh, I should have checked on this place sooner, its been 2 weeks. Have you found water fellow adventurer?
I put this on in the background when I read scary mummy stories in library to my students. It is pure perfection for adding atmosphere to any story.
One would meet either Sekhmet, Sobek, or Yinepu (Anubis) in here. Yikes. 🤪
This reminds me of the Zeffo Temple in Star Wars

"Yo, Anubis! Where are you?"

If it works... it works 😁
Next challenge : sleep on my "Chambers of Torture" ambience 😂

When you wanna explore Minecraft DIFFERENTLY

They should become a lot more dangerous, larger, and have maybe some bosses and mobs and loads of traps that make them very dangerous to explore even if you try to mine around everything.

@@arandomzoomer4837 I also had a similar idea... maybe like an Egyptian city?
The Ultra Garden
City? Are you referring to ancient dead cities?
This is good, but I've one regret. I don't clearly see the picture behind the text. That would be better with only about 10 seconds with the text, and the rest of the video only with picture and sounds.
That's what I did back in the days, but now the new format is free of text. I do agree with you.
This sounds really amazing...Your ambient stuff is super nice !
Btw, I might be wrong, but...Did you use reverbed sounds of Io ? Or am I just dreaming ? I really might be xwx
I would have no idea, but if so, it would be cool (like a nighttime desert)
Brilliant 👌
Snakes. Why'd it have to be snakes?
The temple of En Sabah Nur...
So is this temple in a valley?
