Figured this would be worth a shot!

I'm not sure it was actually European but I think so. Or was on the same physical format as Tintin and Lucky Luke for instance.

I have a faint feeling that the art style was a bit more realistc and gave me a more serious feel.

It was about a couple exploring some ancient Egyptian city and finding some sort of magical artifact that triggered a pyramid shaped force field that erased everything it touched.

I read this during the early nineties I think so I don't remember many details about it sadly.

Anyone have a clue what it might've been?

I'm no expert, but I've seen this at my local library

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papyrus_(comics)

But it could have been Blake and Mortimer, Ian Kaledine, Timour... So many Egypt-themed BD at my library!

None of those but thanks for the suggestions at least!
