The game is explicitly set in ancient Egypt, so the player can familiarise themselves with the history and culture of the pharaohs. The game develops from the Predynastic Period to the beginning of the New Kingdom and the player is expected not only to build particular cities, but also construct important monuments, such as the pyramids (including Step Pyramid at Saqqara, Bent and Red Pyramids at Dahshur or the Giza Pyramids), the Great Sphinx at Giza, 5th dynasty sun temples, or Early Dynastic mastabas. The player can also get some knowledge of Egyptian religion, as building temples and taking care of the gods is an important part of the game. The game is also provided with explanatory notes, which make it possible for the player, to get more information on various aspects of Egyptian civilisation, thus joining entertainment with education.
