	Prior to the release of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' in 2017, each Assassin Tomb was believed to be the actual resting place for the Assassin it was dedicated to due to the presence of a sarcophagus containing a mummified body. However, ''Origins'' retconned this by having Amunet actually be buried alongside her husband [[Bayek]] in Egypt, meaning that the mummy from Amunet's tomb in Italy is fake. Whether this is the case for the other tombs, however, remains unknown.

The '''Assassin Tombs''' are a group of six tombs or shrines hidden across [[Italy]] and dedicated to legendary [[Assassins]] from around the world.

	Prior to the release of ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' in 2017, each Assassin Tomb was believed to be the actual resting place for the Assassin it was dedicated to due to the presence of a sarcophagus containing a mummified body. However, ''Origins'' retconned this by having Amunet actually be buried alongside her husband [[Bayek]] in Egypt, meaning that the mummy from Amunet's tomb is fake. Whether this is the case for other tombs, however, remains unknown.
