How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

The smallest and southernmost of the three main Giza pyramids holds an explorable tomb.

The real place

Built for Menkaure, it is about 61 m tall today. Its lower courses were cased in red Aswan granite, and seven of those courses survive.

Visiting

It sits at the quieter southern end of the plateau. Walk on to the panoramic viewpoint beyond it for the classic photo of all three pyramids.
