Let's Find History In Assassin's Creed Origins: A Virtual Tour of the Siwa Oasis (Episode 2)


Join me in a virtual tour of the ancient Siwa Oasis. First, we climb to a high vantage point to see a panoramic view of the oasis. Finally, we check out architectural feats found inside the game, such as the House of Life, the Temple of Amun and the Mountain of the Dead, while also taking a look at actual photographs of modern Siwa, for comparison.

The intro music, as well as the songs played during the sped-up travel scenes, all was written and performed by C. Keith Hansley for use on this YouTube Channel.

Let's Find History In Assassin's Creed Origins: A Medjay in the Siwa Oasis, 49-48 BCE (Episode 1)



In this video we delve into the world of Assassin's Creed: Origins, which is set in ancient Egypt around 49-48 BCE. Watch the religiously significant Siwa Oasis come to life through the eyes of a troubled Medjay and witness characters based on historical figures, such as Ptolemy XIII, the co-ruler of Egypt along with his sister, the famous Cleopatra VII. Enjoy the history-infused atmosphere and learn a few things along the way, with odd topics such as tomb raiding and falconry making appearances on the first episode of this journey.
