One example is the movie Gods of Egypt. Egypt if in Africa, not some small village in Sweden, so there shouldn't be people with pale skin for miles. The gods also had different names before the Greeks took the land and changed everything to match their image. Also slaves didn't build the pyramids, slaves wouldn't be buried in the same vicinity as pharaohs. Anywho setting the game in Kemet opens a lot of creative doors if approached correctly Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Egypt a cultural melting pot for a good portion of it's history? With people from all over the world either travelling through it or otherwise trying to sell their merchandise.

I've recently read, for example, that the famous Pharaoh Ramesses II was not only red-haired but also probably "fair skinned".
