How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The northern pyramid west of Memphis is the Tomb of Sneferu, which Bayek explores while helping a scholar track down an artefact.
The real place
Sneferu's third pyramid, about 105 m tall, is thought to be Egypt's first successful smooth-sided pyramid. It takes its name from the reddish limestone exposed after its white casing was removed.
Visiting
You can go inside by climbing to a high entrance and down a long, low passage. Dahshur is far less crowded than Giza and has its own ticket.
