The Best Historical Landmarks From Each Assassin's Creed

[@TheHiddenOne690]

Last video for 2 weeks until I am back from Thailand!

[@r3gret2079]

This video really highlights one of my absolute FAVORITE aspects of the AC franchise, and that's the gorgeous locations. I absolutely LIVE seeing all these old monuments during those times. Every place we go is so beautiful, and it's not just the locals, but also the peoples and their culture. Mirage did such an amazing job of portraying the culture.

[@notnevertibbs7444]

Have a good trip man.

[@elusivent]

Have fun hidden one!

[@samayoubi5818]

Artecthre is amazing that detail is beatiful and so creative

[@samayoubi5818]

Hopefully make it to go everywhere wanna go for landmarks before getting old

[@terrytucker9564]

Growing up I was always extremely interested in ancient Egypt, when origins was coming out I was so excited I honestly can’t explain the feeling, and when I figured out I could actually go inside the pyramids I lost my mind, absolutely incredible to experience even today almost 7 years later

[@dzizs03]

I just finished Origins a few months ago and almost couldn't let it go. I was also always a big fan of ancient Egypt and the world they made in this game was so captivating and interesting to me. plus the story and the main protagonist are one of the best in the series imo. hope you played the visual tour as well :)

[@נועםאלגרנטי]

Fuck Man... Origin was 7 Years Ago

[@syzko3387]

When you know assassin's creed you knew it had to be there

[@SarcyBoi41]

One thing you didn't mention about Notre Dame: after it was heavily damaged by a fire in the late 2010s, Ubisoft actually aided in the reconstruction efforts. The 3D model they had constructed for Unity was so accurate to the original that they were able to use it as a guide to ensure the reconstruction stayed true to how it's supposed to look. So Unity's portrayal of Notre Dame actually helped save the real life Notre Dame.

[@piscessoedroen]

the lead the designer must be very proud, her years of work replicating the cathedral being used as a guide for the repair of the real thing

[@drknockboot]

No it did not, it is a common misconception. For a construction as important as the notre dame they would probably have its sketch and blueprints stashed so that in case of let's say a fire they won't need a ubisoft adaptation to rebuild it. A ubisoft adaptation that was literally designed with parkour in mind and had to avoid copyright laws

[@cctrappy]

@@drknockboot Ubisoft actually did, just research it “The company [Ubisoft] announced Wednesday it is making a contribution of 500,000 Euros to the rebuilding of the cathedral. And the Paris-headquartered game maker said Wednesday it will make its virtual rendition of the cathedral available to those involved in the rebuilding of the church.” - USA Today I’m not sure how much the digital model was used to aid the rebuilding, but it actually was used

[@bencoory5917]

There's actually a documentary of how useful the 3d models of the cathedral were. They were some of the most accurate 3d models of any building ever created ​@drknockboot

[@stevenkasuboski4445]

I actually got introduced to assassins creed through their giveaway of unity after the fire. I now own every game

[@diadis_]

I've gone to Florence and visiting after playing AC 2 was such an experience. It does such a great job of capturing the grandeur of both Palazzo Vecchio and Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

[@SirPigmund]

Always thought Hadrian’s Wall and the many other Roman landmarks in Valhalla were interesting. Even more cool that you can still see the remnants of these sites today

[@BlackIce8812]

Ya, honestly not sure why he didn't bring up Hadrian's wall at least. Definitely one of the cooler Roman points of interest in Valhalla.

[@zboy2020vision]

Hadrians wall and the recreation of Winchester and Jorvik were really cool to me as a fan of the Viking era. The cathedral of Winchester is an amazing landmark imo

[@kermut]

Man I urge every fan of AC to visit Florence if they’re able. I visited last summer and it was so cool visiting all of the landmarks and comparing them to AC2. There’s also a restaurant outside the Uffizi museum that even depicts Ezio on their menu!

[@officialWensonMusic]

Ristorante Braceria Auditore 👌🏻

[@kermut]

Indeed! it was excellent as well@@officialWensonMusic

[@grayrobber]

Oh, but it’s weird when G&B fans visit locations that are in the game and compare them to in game:(

[@kermut]

@@grayrobber what is that

[@schwakyl000]

Could you do a video ranking the different sailable ships? (The Aquila, The Jackdaw, The Experto Crede, The Morrigan, and The Adrestia)

[@eevanpennant-shah8871]

you forgot the origins sea missions with aya

[@schwakyl000]

@@eevanpennant-shah8871 no I didn’t forget them, I just couldn’t remember the name of the ship and don’t count those types of missions as being the same. That’s also why I didn’t include James Cook’s ship The HMS Pembroke either, it’s a one-off mission.

[@grayrobber]

JACKDAW MY BELOVED

[@oneidawolf776]

And stonehenge is significant because to move those massive stones back in the time it was built is a mystery like how the pyramids were built. They had no tools that were capable of moving something so heavy.

[@NotSoRandom_]

Yh I don’t know why he was so dismissive of it

[@grayrobber]

Fym we have no idea how the pyramids were built? Research is a valuable thing, my friend

[@ahhfrick5870]

i love stonehenge so much

[@Lee.Everett0_0]

loving your content mate. Could you do a ranking on the main themes from each ac game

[@AxelOwnz]

Your list was good. Ones I would have included would be The Dome of the Rock, The Lighthouse of Alexandria and Hadrian's Wall. The Dome of the Rock was the main landmark I was aware of when I played AC1 and it was cool to find it. The Lighthouse of Alexandria was just amazing to scale. It blew my mind Hadrian's wall was just cool to me. I found it and ran down it for a while.

[@unicorntomboy9736]

I think The House of Wisdom, and the Round City as a whole, in Mirage is fantastic, especially since these are lost places that no longer exist, and have not existed for so long, so it's impressive how that managed to recreate them The game captures old islamic arabian culture so beautifully, in a setting only popularly known to most people in Disney's Aladdin

[@FreddyDff]

AC Mirage environment and vibes are incredible! The game looks crystal clear and feels alive. That’s what really stands out imo🙏🏻

[@ForeverWog]

I’ve had the pleasure of going to Florence a few times, chaperoning school trips. I’m a huge fan of how much it still feels like an old city. And your friend is right. Standing outside the Duomo at night is magical (even with all the people trying to sell you glowing mini-helicopters).

[@Sanityangel_]

What you brought to my attention is the further back in time you kept going in the AC games the harder it was for you to gives us information that Ubisoft could get simply because the further down the timeline you went the more of how much lost history was left behind even the evidence of things were reduced to rubble or demolished or burn down , stolen, pillaged and erased. Example, Origins, Odyssey, Mirage, Black Flag. Truly sad anyone else noticed?

[@robinsonxlnt8135]

You forgot about the reconstructed Lighthouse of Alexandria in Origins . It was one of the 7 wonders of the Ancient times along with the Egyptian Pyramids.

[@xavierchiu9103]

Too much time talking about the Pyramids and Sphinx and forgot to mention Lighthouse of Alexandria, which doesnt exist anymore but the one from Origins is a loyal representation of its glorious days

[@eliminator1472]

He didn’t forget to mention it. He’s only talking about two landmarks for each game

[@adriantuesta1012]

The lighthouse would make more sense than sphinx

[@biopoepzakjesvideos672]

I love your vids bro i found you a month ago and i actually really like you not being a fulltime KZbinr because it really shows ur passion How do you manage to make so clean vids without much experience Keep up te good work man

[@TheHiddenOne690]

Thank you, appreciate that! I don't know tbh, I guess it's natural haha

[@dannylavender]

20:06 I 100% blame Horrible Histories for my love of Assassin’s Creed.

[@imigi2850]

Hadrian’s wall in Valhalla is awesome

[@Radditz36]

after the Burning of Notre Dame, there was the urban legend, that Notre Dame in Unity is so good, that it is the best 3D Model for the Rebuild

[@thevikingbear2343]

Fun fact: the secret chamber in the pyramids was part of a theory posed by the egyptologist that Ubisoft hired to help them design their Pyramids of Giza. This archeologist is a firm believer of an alternative theory of how the pyramids were built. Most scolars believe that external sand ramps were build arpund the pyramid whike this was being built, and when the pyramid was completed then it was buried in an arificail mound of sand, and then they had to dig out the pyramid. This guy supported the alternative theory that the ramps were not external but internal to the pyramid and the pyramid was built around the ramps. The advantage is that the ramps were hidden by the walls of the pyramid, thus creating inaccesible chambers and passage ways in the finished Pyramid. Ubisoft did what they did and made it possible to access this system because gmaeplay wise is more interesting in-game thus "predicting" the discovery of the hidden chamber. Ubisoft did a very good job of explaining this in the information they provided with the game and then later in the historical tour in-game, where you toured this ramps while they were very clear that no theory has proven to be the correct one.

[@lolhi7787]

My favorite ac KZbinr, watched a few vids and had to subscribe to show my support

[@eevanpennant-shah8871]

I would have said the temple at karnak in luxor for origins. when i visited it was simply massive and the coloured murals still survive.

[@H0lland0ates79]

Awesome video! One of my favorite spots is the Pass of Thermopylae in Odyssey

[@nestorrodriguez392]

Really enjoyed this educational video! Keep it up! You are right, Ubisoft does a amazing job with the landmark and the location

[@fabiogalle3427]

Wow, this took much research to create this video! You really did a good job on this, i appreciate the effort!❤ Love it

[@darkkestrel1]

Surprised you didn't mention the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, but glad I learnt something new (had not idea about the Umayyad mosque)

[@50.CalFilms]

How do you keep coming up with ideas 😂. This just shows why your the best current ac KZbinr and growing so fast. Keep the content coming bro

[@TheHiddenOne690]

That means a lot! Thank you! My ideas are always on the spot, there's a lot to talk about that I haven't really seen many youtubers do

[@jokerthedreamer]

4:58 no love for Venice?? 😭

[@oneidawolf776]

My people the Oneida are haudenosaunee like the kanienkehaka in assasins creed. It was cool hearing our songs and seeing our longhouses. Sad it didnt get a bit more screen time ;(

[@KrishnBhakt-qn4br]

Thats very intresting

[@hugoochoa1999]

Cant belive how you just skipped many interesting landmarks in AC Black Flag… Mayan ruins in Tulum and Misteriosa and the Havana!!

[@CoNSu_11]

Nah. I'm from Mexico Southeast, and in the game, the mayan ruins seem pretty generic. Furthermore, I already visited Chichen Itzá and I can not recognize a thing from AC Liberations. I'm still sad they didn't choose Edzna from Campeche instead of Tulum. Edzna has a very unique and recognizable mayan building, and Campeche City has walls, gates, and forts precisely by piracy age. I was really excited with the game because my city was a Pirates refuge, and I let my hopes up expecting to have an appearance. But let me tell you, I got dejavu with Habana's Church. It looks a lot like our Church of Virgin of Carmen (our main temple because we won war against pirates on July 16). Our original houses (in our "historic center") are the same architecture as the ones depicted in Habana. Habana feeled like being in the old core of my city.

[@r3gret2079]

I took French for a couple years back in highschool, n learned a bunch about France and its history. Unity was such a great game for me, despite its numerous bugs. My birthday is July 15th, the day after the date of the storming of the Bastille, which is pretty cool to me. After learning so much about France and the Bastille, my favorite part of Unity was taking part in the battle at the Bastille. Edit: the fact you didn't say Bastille makes me sad. But who tf is gunna say Bastille unless you have knowledge about it and it's importance right? Not surprised you didn't add it, but still a lil bummer.

[@felixputz5190]

Maybe he didnt mention it because the storming of the bastille was kind of disappointing in the game

[@r3gret2079]

@@felixputz5190 could be, it really was.

[@dzizs03]

@@r3gret2079 there's a lot of amazing landmarks he didn't mention, esp from Unity and Syndicate, even Origins. these are just his personal favorites I guess..

[@cosmyte9385]

The Buckingham Palace was also very interesting in Syndicate

[@midago7332]

I enjoyed Jerusalem especially dome of the rock, having been there in person. Was great to see. Fab video, thank you for the quality content.

[@drifter139]

I thought for sure you'd have chosen the library if Alexandria in AC Origins

[@ahhfrick5870]

Bro, I love Stonehenge, like those stones go down 15 feet into the ground, and it was built over hundreds of years, I find it so fascinating.

[@_loungin_]

One thing that I probably like the most right after the stealth and the whole ac fantasy is how the guy weave in historical into the game and realism of the environment and such, especially in ac3. I really like how they make it believable that some of the events were caused by the assasins

[@majdalmohanna3038]

st John does exist inside Umayyad mosque, they built the mosque around st John the Baptist's church cuz they couldn't tare it down so they built around it

[@stefannikolic8408]

I pretty much agree with your video, but I want to include lighthouse in Alexandria from AC Origins. When I first saw it I was fascinated with it's look.

[@formallyaartistknownasarti2472]

Love the video but you forgot Al-AQSA mosque

[@kevinLifetime]

Check out creed 3 in NY the first president G.W. was inaugurated in the oldest church by Wall st. It still stands till this day from the 1700s

[@fiorarosa1090]

as someone who has played Black Flag 3 times, I would have to say that the most memorable historical landmark would be The Queen's Staircase in Nassau(you will encounter this landmark in the story progression). It's just so beautiful, you just have to be there to understand. For Rogue, the most impressive thing you can see is the Northern Light(not a landmark, I know). For Unity, they have a lot of landmarks, so I will recommend my two favorites. Les Champs du Mars and Jardin du Luxembourg. Syndicate really excelled at doing these landmarks(even better than Unity, which people didn't talk about). I loved the Big Ben and the train stations.

[@sosaysjay]

Great picks, I hope you enjoy your time in Thailand!

[@TheHiddenOne690]

Thank you Jay!

[@gingerben9310]

You missed a few from each game. But still a good video ✌🏼

[@tacotaco288]

20:32 while we don’t know about its exact construction we know it’s been rediscovered and exhumed multiple times in history.

[@makiuswel]

the open world of assassins creed never miss for me always fun to explore

[@jesselucian106]

I don’t remember if the Roman forum was featured in Brotherhood at all; but honestly, that was my favorite place I visited in Rome. I feel like it’s pretty underrated as far as ruins in Rome go irl

[@izi941]

Nice to see Alamut, the original Assassins stronghold (and not Masyaf). There is also a book called Alamut, a story of the rookie Assassin there that revolted against the leaders there (inspiration for the AC1)

[@dompomp]

Origins was the first AC game for me and my first thought was “ahh that’d be cool if you could see the pyramids in the distance” boy was I in for a good surprise

[@elgreco75]

I would say for AC3 the best is Old North Church. They did a great job recreating it, it looks nice and is one kf thr highest buildings you can climb in the game. You can still visit it today in Boston and looks very similar to the game.

[@kevind3974]

You missed an interesting part about notradom When it burnt down the game was used as reference do to how detailed it was. It’s ironic that their research and creation ended up being used in the actual recreation

[@johanbarnard3435]

Liberation actually had one off the best landmarks and locations. The Mayan Chicen Iza pyramid and and serounding ruins of the Mayans in Mexico

[@ToTheMaxGaming1]

Great vid

[@CoNSu_11]

Princesss Castle Island from AC Revelations. I was excited when it was showed in the turkish soup opera Kosem Sultan. ❤

[@Radditz36]

my fav Landmark is the Haggia Sophia and the Doge's Palace

[@johanbarnard3435]

Not many people played Liberation it seems. It has one of the best locations. Yes you're not there for long but it's still super interesting to see and climb the mayan pyramid

[@seanlocke2228]

Around the world in 80 Assassins Creed landmarks would be an awesome idea.

[@chriswardwell5170]

AC 3 is my favorite AC game and fun fact I have been to Paul revear's house in real life I as like 10 then so nearly 30 years ago now... it was a class trip

[@alikhamiss1243]

I would prefer that you use the light tower of Alexanderia for origins

[@AndreHeitor666]

I think one of the coolest things in AC is seeing this beautiful buildings and landmarks and then you remember they're centuries old. And they are that beautiful. Modern construction in comparison is so bland and unispired

[@tacituskilgore3824]

I always liked Saint Peter’s basilica in Brotherhood because it has the dome of the modern version but the rest is the old church which is historically accurate to the time.

[@imhere2360]

seeing Bayt al hikmah (the house of wisdom) is just so fascinating!!!

[@FireCat14]

Should've mentioned that Unity's depiction helped with rebuilding of Notre dame after the fire! Also didn't mention the Liberation game!

[@ConnorWiederich-hr4zu]

I would have put Giotto's Bell Tower in Florence and St. Mark's Square in Venice as my favorite landmarks in AC 2.

[@darkkestrel1]

from the games I've played, I would go with AC: the Dome of the Rock, and that's all because I didn't know the castle was a real thing and didn't know about the Umayyad mosque lol AC 2: il duomo of Florence and the Piazza San Marco in Venice or the Ponte Vecchio, or also just all of San Gimignano maybe AC Brotherhood: Coliseum and the Mausoleo di Augusto AC Revelations: Hagia Sofia and the Hippodrome AC Black Flag: Old Havana as a whole AC Unity: Notre Dame and the Panthéon AC Syndicate: Same Of those I haven't played but know some locations: AC origins: The pyramids, the great lighthouse of Alexandria, Abu Simbel (although apparently they renamed it "temple of Thoth" in the game because it's not at the right place at all) AC Odyssey: the Parthenon, the palace of Knossos

[@johanbarnard3435]

Dome of the Rock, Chichen Iza pyramid in Mexico, hadrians wall in Valhalla,

[@christianburnett236]

You forgot about Lewis (the mad doctor) Hutchinson in AC3 EDINBURGH CASTLE

[@mikefink7548]

I love alot more of AC 3's ;andmarks mainly cause I lived my life in Massachusetts and I have more personal connection to alo6 of these locations and landmarks. for example all i see when i see paul revere's House is memories of the most boring school field trip I ever experienced lol

[@KuzeyAkkaya-sb2nk]

I went to Topkapı Palace in real life(which was in ac revelations). Topkapı in the game and in real life is exact same

[@jkorkea]

bro just casually brushed past Valhalla, there's plenty more of historical sites to discover like Borgund stave church, Cliffs of Dover, City walls of York, Old Minster of Winchester etc...

[@Nexist]

I do agree that AC3 lacks some iconic landmarks. A lighthouse isn't as impressive as some other very historic buildings/structures featured in Ezio games and Unity.

[@unicorntomboy9736]

You could say the same for Black Flag, but it has Mayen ruins in Mexico, as well as a Sperm Whale migration and a family of Orcas that can be sighted, which is pretty cool to see

[@minedude33]

Getting harassed by the beggars while trying to show off the landmarks in the 1st game is so real

[@gooma7942]

[@amichalove]

Faneuil Hall and the Old South Meeting House are probably the most famous in aciii

[@qwertyno100]

the Dome of the Rock has to be the most iconic landmark in the entire series.

[@knightingale9833]

Should’ve considered the Sphinx and Great Pyramids as one landmark collectively as just Giza, I mean surely the Lighthouse at Alexandria is far more impressive than the Sphinx

I would recommend Port Royale for Black Flag

So sorry to ask, new to the lore here..is there no interesting landmark in AC Liberation or AC Freedom Cry

[@johanbarnard3435]

Liberation has Chichen Iza. The great Mayan pyramid and the serounding Mayan ruins in Mexico. Awsome to see

[@johanbarnard3435]

Only notable place in freedom cry is more of a location than a landmark and that's the west coast of Africa.

[@brianclark7032]

Solid lists but you did have some errors I think. For Origins, it should of been the Lighthouse and not Sphinx, especially since it's a Lost Wonder of the World and seeing what it would of looked like was breathtaking. 2nd you forgot Liberation & Freedom Cry . It's a shame so many content creators for AC ignore these games. I understand sometimes because the games aren't long enough or are "DLC" but they shouldn't be overlook. For Liberation you really only had 3 options...Congo Square, St. Louis Cathedral or Chichen Itza. And to be fair, i can't make any of the top of my head for Freedom Cry but there prob are some but it's been a while since i played it.

[@RichterRauzer18]

What about the Palace Of Versailles in AC UNITY

[@Redhanedsneak]

I used to read those.

[@tomathene2]

Hadrian's Wall is in Valhalla, far more historic & important than Stonehenge

Not really, I think both are important Stonehenge was as old as the Egyptian pyramids, and there is still some mystery about how they were constructed, and what its true purpose was.
