How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A half-collapsed tower rising from a sand dune, where a falling meteorite opens a mysterious tomb.
The real place
Probably begun under Huni and finished under Sneferu, it partly collapsed and now stands about 65 m tall as a stepped core of masonry. The game's meteorite and hidden chamber are fictional.
Visiting
It is a quiet site about 100 km south of Cairo, best reached by car or as part of a Faiyum day trip. The entrance passage is steep and narrow.
