Walking in the Ancient Egyptian City of Memphis in Assassin’s Creed: Origins - Discovery Tour with 4K Ultra Max Graphics on PC. Memphis, city and capital of ancient Egypt and an important centre during much of Egyptian history. Memphis was founded about 2925 BCE by Menes, who supposedly united the two prehistoric kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt. The original name of the city was the White Walls, and the term may have referred originally to the king’s palace, which would have been built of whitewashed brick. Memphis was believed to be under the protection of the god Ptah, the patron of craftsmen. Its great temple, Hut-ka-Ptah (meaning “Enclosure of the ka of Ptah“), was one of the most prominent structures in the city. Today, the ruins of the former capital offer fragmented evidence of its past. Along with the pyramid complex at Giza, they have been preserved as a World Heritage Site since 1979. The site is open to the public as an open-air museum. Read More:
