Explain how the videogame can be used in an educational context:

The game offers a comprehensive insight in ancient civilizations with a high degree of accuracy, excellent graphics, nice gameplay and adequate acting from the characters. People could learn a lot about the history and the historical characters of ancient civilizations like the Greek, Persian and Egyptian with great accuracy about the facts, apart from some exaggerations in the paranormal area which tend to make it a bit silly.
