I found some old PBS specials based on the big cutaway books by David Macauley. Lots of good research here for historical details.

Grew up with Macauley's books. To keep it marginally /tg/ related, there's one he did called "Motel of the Mysteries" spoofing the Carter dig for Tutankhamun that could be good inspiration for what the dungeon was actually for.

Neat, thanks anon.
On historical stuff that's potentially useful to /tg/ there's a recent high res scans of the Book of Kells for free.

Nice share, Anon.
On my to-do list is to find good-quality scans and use some of the images for the outside of a GM screen.

They were a staple in youth as well. I had an uncle who read "Motel" and when I asked him what he thought he replied "Sarcastic SOB, isn't he?"
