How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The main city of the Faiyum, famous for its gladiator arena and its cult of the crocodile god Sobek.
The real place
Ancient Shedet, renamed Crocodilopolis and later Arsinoe, was the main centre of Sobek worship, where a sacred crocodile was kept in a temple pool. Only mounds remain, mostly built over by modern Medinet el-Fayum.
Visiting
There is little of the ancient city to see. Use Faiyum city as a base for Hawara, Lake Qarun and Wadi El Hitan.
