I don't know $%#@ about Egyptian history.

I was watching a preview vid, and our hero was creeping around ruins and into one of the pyramids, which look much like they do now.

"Isn't this ancient Egypt? Weren't these things ever new?"

Turns out the game is taking place roughly 2500 years after they were built. I know these games aren't striving for historical accuracy, but I'm bound to come away with a little more knowledge about Egyot that I have now, which is little. Nowhere to go but up.
