As with all Assassin's Creed games, Assassin's Creed Origins lets you climb on all sorts of historical objects you probably should have no business climbing. Origins' Egyptian setting, however, offers some opportunity to explore some incredible prehistoric cities and monuments like the city of Krocodilopolis (which Egyptians called Shedet), ride along the beautiful expanses of Farafra's White Desert, and encounter the original cities of Memphis and Philadelphia (called Amman by the Egyptians).

But let's be honest: You're really only going to recognize three places, since they're the ones that show up in most movies, TV shows, and games when someone needs to make something look and feel all Egyptian-like. How do The Pyramids of Giza, The Lighthouse of Alexandria, and The Great Sphinx fare in Origns? We take a deep dive (of faith!) into each and rank them based on size, historical coolness, and climbability. Enjoy!
