What real-world mythology would you like to see in a D&D sourcebook?

Bump, this is quite interesting.
The web supplement to OA does a quick overview of an Indian/Indonesian campaign. Obviously not very detailed, but overall pretty interesting.
My next adventure I'm sending my players to a land heavily based on it.
As for what other sourcebooks I'd like to see, I'd love to see an Al-Quadim 3E hardback. Also, I know WOTC gave us OA, and I loved it, but I'd love to see a book that takes Chinese myth from a different slant entirely.

I think a complete Bronze Age D&D pseudo-Earth should be made, with Greek elements, Egyptian elements, Mesoamerican elements, tribal Europe elements, and Mesopotamian elements.
YEE-HAW!
Okay, maybe focusing is better, but still....Yee-haw!

It's quite possible that they *are* working on it. Remember, WOTC plans books something like two years in advance, and doesn't discuss them until they're in the catalogue (around half a year before release).Greatwyrm said:
If they do make a 3e Arabian Adventures (and I hope they will), I *really* hope that they won't make it based on Legend of the Burning Sands. I mean, I can see using Rokugan instead of Kara-Tur, because Rokugan is reasonably well-known through Legend of the Five Rings - both the CCG and RPG. However, as I understand it Legend of the Burning Sands was quite the flop - Al-Qadim would probably be a much better choice.

Good suggestions so far.
Rather than repeating them, I would like to see some of the following:
Celtic Myths
Slavic Myths
Persian mythology
Arabic and other near eastern mythology.
Polynesian mythology.
The world is full of diverse cultures. They have a lot of fun things for gamers to use.

We just finished the layout. It should be off to the printers any day now. The book is absolutely beautiful and looks nothing like any other d20 book I've seen. I'm also very happy with the content, though it might not be what people expect. For example, despite what people seem to think, there aren't any rules for an alternate magic system - my personal feeling is that monkeying with the standard magic rules is just asking for trouble, and makes the material less compatible with other books.

My two pence worth of knowledge
As a Norseman, and thereby deeply into the Norse Mythology i would like to see it done, we have a fair description of the gods in Deities and Demigods. But i would love to see a whole setting in this setting.
But the idea in this thread that is really brilliant, is the idea of making a Bronzeage setting, always been a big history buff,
and i think that the 'ancient' world would make a great setting
Egyptians, Babylonians et al. Could be really cool.
Let's force their hand and make them do it
I think that the idea of a Native american setting is a fine idea too.

I'm submitting the Bronze Age Fantasy Earth idea as a one-pager. Let's see if it gets past Round One.
