The newly enabled discovery mode in Assassin's Creed Origins may be one of the most historically accurate ways to explore ancient Egypt, but at least one detail has been altered to match modern sensibilities.
Statues of nude figures have their naughty-bits covered with seashells, something not generally seen in the world of ancient art, but also not unheard of. For example, changing times and tastes led to the altering even of masterworks like Michelangelo's nude figures in the Sistine Chapel.
The Assassin's Creed Origins Discovery Tour launched on February 20, and lets you just wander in the world Ubisoft so painstakingly recreated. Four years of historic research went into building the game's world, and short of a time machine it's about as close as you can get to walking the streets of Giza.
