How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The oddly angled pyramid near the natron mines is where Bayek tracks down one of his targets.

The real place

Built for Sneferu, its slope changes from about 54 to 43 degrees partway up, and it keeps more of its original limestone casing than any other Egyptian pyramid. Its interior reopened to visitors in 2019 for the first time since 1965.

Visiting

It is on the same Dahshur ticket as the Red Pyramid, a short drive away. Check on site whether the interior is open.
