'''The Vault''' was a large chamber constructed by [[Those Who Came Before]], located beneath the Sistine Chapel in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Peter's_Basilica Vatican], in order to transmit a warning to [[Desmond Miles]] in the year 2012.

===Entering The Vault===

It appears that the only way to enter The Vault is by combining two [[Piece of Eden|Pieces of Eden]], held by a chosen descendant of Those Who Came Before, who is most likely a member of the bloodline of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]]. Recognized as "The Prophet," [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] was able to enter The Vault by using [[Piece of Eden#34: The Staff|the Staff]] in conjunction with the [[Piece of Eden|Apple of Eden]]. Despite attempting to use the same two Pieces of Eden, [[Rodrigo Borgia]] was unable to enter The Vault.

=== Inside The Vault===

The floors, walls and pillars of The Vault are covered in glyphs that only appear as Ezio moves near them because as ''Those Who Came Before knew'', he possessed Altaïr's supernatural gift of [[Eagle Vision]], and was therefore deemed worthy to see the images as The Prophet. It was thought by Borgia that The Vault contained God himself. Unbeknown to all, The Vault instead contains a holographic projector. [[Minerva]], who appears through this device, explains that she is part of a highly advanced race that existed before mankind, Those Who Came Before. She explains that her race had created humans, but had soon faced rebellion thereafter. Glyphs on the wall confirm this, showing an Egyptian hieroglyphic with a god holding a Piece of Eden as humans charge toward him with weapons.

According to Minerva, the Temples were built by "those who knew to turn away from war," presumably those who did not fight or did not want to fight in the war between the humans and Those Who Came Before. The reason for this was an unknown catastrophe, presumably a large solar flare, that significantly damaged the Earth and killed off most of both species. Those in the Temples worked to protect the world, and Minerva tasks [http://assassinscreed.wikia.com/wiki/Desmond_Miles Desmond Miles] (speaking to him through Ezio) with locating the other Temples to avert another cataclysm.

==Notes==
*During Minerva's speech, a glyph of [[w:Step pyramid|step pyramids]], with what appears to be a Piece of Eden hovering over it, appears on the wall. This could mean that another Temple is possibly a structure located in South America, a [[w:zigurrat|ziggurat]] in Mesopotamia, or even the ancient [[w:Temple of Borobudur|Temple of Borobudur]] in Indonesia.
*The logo of [[Abstergo Industries]] can be seen in the vault.
