Assassin's Creed is a video game franchise known for its realistic renderings.  In this short walk through we can see some of Ancient Athens most famous landmarks as they may have been when inhabited by its ancient inhabitants.

Athens is one of the oldest named cities in the world, having been continuously inhabited for at least 5000 years. Situated in southern Europe, Athens became the leading city of Ancient Greece in the first millennium BC, and its cultural achievements during the 5th century BC laid the foundations of western civilisation.
