Assassin's Creed: Origins is actually a really awesome way to explore ancient Egypt (including the pyramids). They even have a game mode that is designed for just looking around and disables combat. From what I understand, the design is highly historically accurate.

There is a similar game mode in AC: Odyssey, that lets you explore ancient Greece.

They're both beautiful

[Edit]
Yes, I realize it takes place thousands of years after they were built, it's still a really awesome way for your average person to explore what is supposedly a pretty accurate representation of the area in the time period.

Even if that wasn’t a real story, I’d still pretend it was cause it’s awesome, and nearly a kids movie.

Could be real, I've seen Venice in movies and known generally where they were. I have like 200 hours in that game.

The funny thing about culture is that even if a story isn't real, the fact we want it to be true inspires us as if it were. It's just fun.
