About Ancient Egyptian house architecture:

The homes and tombs of the Predynastic Period were built of mud-brick which was dried in the sun (a practice which would continue throughout Egypt's history). Homes were thatched structures of reeds which were daubed with mud for walls prior to the discovery of brick making. These early buildings were circular or oval before bricks were used and, after, became square or rectangular.

The mud-bricks were made out of mud collected from the damp banks of the Nile river. It was placed in moulds and left to dry in the hot sun to harden for use in construction.

Homes and other buildings continued to be made from mud brick during the Middle Kingdom; stone was only used for temples and monuments and this was usually limestone, sandstone or, in some cases, granite which required the greatest skill to work in.

About the village of Siwa:

Siwa is an oasis and village located in Egypt. In ancient times, it was renowned for its Oracle of Amun, which hailed Alexander the Great as Son of Ammon during his liberation of Egypt from Persian rule.

In the game, Siwa also was the home of the Medjay-turned-Hidden One Bayek during the reigns of the two last Pharaohs of Egypt, Ptolemy XIII, and Cleopatra.

Far removed from the center of Egypt, Siwa was more isolated from the culture of the Greek Ptolemaic dynasty than other parts of the country. Consequently, its people continued to hold the Nubian military order of the Medjay in high esteem, heralding Bayek, the last Medjay, as a hero.

The Temple of Amun was built during the 6th century BCE, by Pharaoh Amasis II.

In February 332 BCE, Siwa was visited by the Makedonian king Alexander the Great to consult the oracle at the Temple of Amun.

In the game, in 49 BCE the Order of the Ancients came to the village in search of a vault located beneath the Temple of Amun.

About the game:

Assassin's Creed Origins is a 2017 action-adventure video game developed and published by Ubisoft. It is the tenth major installment in the Assassin's Creed series and the successor to 2015's Assassin's Creed Syndicate.

Set in Ancient Egypt near the end of the Ptolemaic period (49–43 BC), the story follows a Medjay named Bayek of Siwa and his wife Aya, and explores the origins of the centuries-long conflict between the Hidden Ones—forerunners to the Assassin Brotherhood-who fight for peace by promoting liberty, and The Order of the Ancients—forerunners to the Templar Order—who desire peace through the forced imposition of order.
