Egypt

Egypt (Arabic: مصر‎) is a country located in North Africa, with the Sinai Peninsula forming a land bridge in Southwest Asia. Egypt is thus a transcontinental country, and a major power in Africa, the Mediterranean region and the Islamic world. Covering an area of about 1,010,000 square kilometers, Egypt is bordered by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west.

Information

Egypt is the setting of the second mission in Metal Slug 2 and Metal Slug X called Monument of Depression. This mission takes place in one of the structures of the Giza pyramid complex, where the Regular Army encounters rebels exploiting excavation workers. The excavations unintentionally invoke the ancient curse of Anubis, causing mummies to arise from their slumber and mummify all those who happen to be inside the tomb.
