Adventures in Pyramids?

What Fantasy adventures (for any game system) take place in or revolve around Pyramids, other than Gary Gygax's Necropolis? I'm trying to compile a list. The world setting and system are not important. Thanks for letting me pick your brains!

Part of the desert of desolation series. I think a couple of them, I'll have to git home and dig mine out first before I can be specific.

In 2e D&D there was a collection of maps that were basically for mini adventures and one of them was of a Pyramid.

One of the S-series adventures involves a famous "inverted ziggurat".

Some more

The 2e AD&D Ravenloft module Touch of Death has part of it in a pyramid.

I seem to recall a short scene in one in Feast of Goblyns (another 2e Ravenloft module), though it is not a big part of the module.

I know the 2e Ravenloft adventure in Nova Vaasa deals with mummies though I don't remember if it has pyramids per se, though probably. The title is something about moons I think.

I know there is a BECMI D&D Hollow World sourcebook for Nithia their Egypt analogue which has mystic pyramids as a feature, I think there is a module that goes with it as well.

Fast Forward Entertainment has Tombs of Ra for 3e with a series of Valley of the Kings type D&D tombs.

I3 AD&D Pharaoh

The rest in the series, I4, and I5, have 'tombs' and desert motif, but the only actual pyramid is in I3

Can't believe no-one has mentioned H3; "PYRAMID of shadows" for 4E! Or did I miss it in the lists above?

In Dungeon #78 there's an adventure called "Peer Amid the Waters," in which the PCs end up exploring a pyramid interior. It's a little odd in that the pyramid's interior is now flooded with lake water, despite it still being in the middle of a desert.
