'''Memory Seals''' were [[First Civilization]] artifacts with the ability to contain recorded memories. They were said to be the technological basis of the [[Animus]] device of [[Abstergo Industries]].

==History==
===Altar's library===
In his late life, [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]], [[Mentor]] of the [[Levantine Assassins]], came upon six memory seals, after discovering that the Assassin fortress of Alamut was built upon the remains of a small [[First Civilization]] temple. This temple contained a large number of memory seals, and Altaïr used each of them to record an important event in his life, as well as making five of them the [[Masyaf Keys|keys]] necessary to enter [[Altaïr's library|his library]] in [[Masyaf]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations Official Game Guide]]''</ref>

The six memories that Altaïr chose to record all took place within Masyaf. In order, they involved a Crusader skirmish in 11389, the revolt shortly after [[Rashid ad-Din Sinan]]'s death in 1191, the death of [[Maria Thorpe]] and Altaïr's exile in 12327, Altaïr's return to Masyaf in 12347, the departure of the Polo brothers in 13257, and Altaïr's death that same year.

Upon Altaïr's request, [[Niccolò Polo]] took five of the memory seals, and hid them in small tombs throughout [[Constantinople]]. Respectively, the seals were placed within [[Topkapı Palace]], the [[Yerebatan Cistern]], [[Galata Tower]], the [[Forum of the Ox]], and [[Maiden's Tower]]. The sixth memory seal remained with Altaïr inside his library, where he recorded his final moments.

In around 13512, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] uncovered four of the seals, reclaimed the fifth one from [[Templars]] in [[Derinkuyu]], and found the final one upon entering Altaïr's library.<ref name="Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

===Library of John===
Two memory seals in [[Alexandria]] were located by the Mamluk Sultan's soldiers in 1511, during the excavation of the {{Wiki|Library of Alexandria}}.

These seals, kept within a chest dated 300011BC, were recovered by the [[Egyptian Assassins|Egyptian]] and [[Turkish Assassins|Ottoman Assassins]] shortly afterwards.

These two seals were later taken to the local Assassins' headquarters, where they were studied by an unidentified woman referred to as a "blessed initiate." As she worked to "unlock the mysteries" of the seals, the Templars led an attack on the headquarters, though they were thwarted again by the Ottoman Assassins.<ref name="Mediterranean Defense">''Assassin's Creed: Revelations'' - [[Mediterranean Defense]]</ref>
