    Apparently I fail at research, but circumstance was kind enough to throw me a bone.

    lolSakurai is a perfectly reasonable excuse.

    Ramesses doesn't have THE Sphinx (Which was built by Khufu or alternatively his son Khafra about 1200 years earlier), but A Sphinx, which is a Divine Beast that is literally the personification of his power.

    And his Ramesseum Tentyris NP is specifically a complex of temples including ones not built during his time because "lol I'm the King of Kings, every other king's cool shit is my cool shit".

    Given that 1. She didn't own the Library, Rome did and 2. It was destroyed 400 years later, that's not entirely accurate either.

    And given that it's one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, I'd argue it would be considerably higher ranked than D.

    It's not one of the Seven Wonders. You're thinking of the Lighthouse.

    And the low rank can probably be explained by the fact that since she's not the true owner, its rank is reduced maybe.

    Oh yeah. I pretty much don't remember any of the Wonders besides the Colossus and the Hanging Gardens because those are the only ones that matter in pop culture.

    An easier explanation would be that it's prime is several centuries past her time.

    The Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Hanging Gardens, the Great Pyramid, the Temple of Artemis, the statue of Zeus, the Mausoleum, and the Colossus.

    The Great Pyramid still exists even if in diminished glory.

    Semi can summon the EX-ranked Hanging Gardens, despite not being its true owner.

    The Queen of Assyria, Semiramis. Her Noble Phantasm Hanging Gardens of Babylon was a flying fortress. However, it was impossible to manifest it through prana. First, materials consisting of stone and wood from a specific region must be gathered.

    Once having gathered everything she needed, a long ritual needed to be held by Assassin herself, and then it would finally be complete as a Noble Phantasm… This process stemmed from the fact that, historically, Queen Semiramis did not create the Hanging Gardens in the first place.


    In reality, she had never once seen the Hanging Gardens in her lifetime. However, she knew and instinctively sensed that it had been inscribed as part of her legend. This mystery was added to her legend after her death, but people’s mental image of the Hanging Gardens being built by the world’s most ancient assassin, the legendary queen, was very strong.


    The Hanging Gardens first required materials. Materials that came from this world in the present day. Wood, stone, minerals, plants and water—all from the land she once lived in.


    After gathering and assembling everything together, the ritual she conducted turned the mere ‘illusion’ into reality. It was a counterfeit turned real, a Noble Phantasm that normally should be absolutely impossible to exist.


    Therefore, it possessed the word [vanity] in its title. People who knew the truth could only feel a kind of scorn for it. Semiramis didn’t build the Hanging Gardens, they would say. However, vanity was not a fragile thing. No, since the materials had been gathered and the Noble Phantasm had managed to be successfully constructed, at the very least, this vanity had been turned into the truth in this day and age.


    And this former illusionary garden—was far more absurd and ridiculous than the real one.
    Hers is specifically way better than the real one.

    Simply because of the accumulated mystery and her sheer vanity she can actually construct something better than the original. She's that based.

    ^^^Female rulers stand out by default in comparison the male majority because of the novelty factor, then add the fact of being hot and getting shit done.

    ^^We should elevate the minority who want to slip hands into her cleavage to the rulership, maybe we will salvage Japan somehow.

    Yeah, to be remembered a female historical figure generally has to do something spectacular and/or be ridiculously beautiful.

    Or be too good for the sinful Earth, like our sole female king (officially a king since the language back then had no word for queen regnant) who is now a Roman Catholic Saint for her charitable and generous acts, including helping to restore an university. Happened to be Hungarian like the other notable female ruler figure (during period of feudal fragmentation) here who is remembered for establishing salt mine industry, also a saint. Obviously getting shit done is one of ways to become a saint.

    And Semiramis' case in that regard would be being some girl an old shepard found who became one of the most powerful rulers in the world at the time through having a pretty face and slipping poison in the right drinks.
