Egypt 3: The Egyptian Prophecy (aka Egypt III: The Fate of Ramses) is a 2004 adventure video game developed by Kheops Studio and published by The Adventure Company for the PC. The player must solve an array of ancient riddles that will help a dying Pharaoh survive and restore Egypt to glory. The game follows Egypt: 1156 B.C.: Tomb of the Pharaoh and Egypt 2: The Heliopolis Prophecy. In 2010, Microïds released an adaptation of the game, split into parts, for the Apple iPhone.
