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.

Memphis was believed to be under the protection of the god Ptah, the patron of craftsmen. Its great temple, HutkaPtah (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.
