Cairo Olympic Thumbnails

In case it wasn’t clear from the title, I’m doing the 2032 Olympics in Cairo.
I tried focusing on various aspects of Egyptian culture, from the obvious (pyramids, winged discs) to the forgotten (the crescent of the Kingdom of Egypt, the long-gone Great Lighthouse of Alexandria) to aspects of Egyptian culture not as obvious as say, a Sphinx (with mosque domes forming a sort of “brain,” as the largest university in Cairo is the second oldest in the world, to an abstraction of a one of the largest hotels in Cairo, a reference to it’s sprawling urbanization).

I couldn’t fit all 10 in one scan so here’s the last.
