The game guide also misidentifies the Eye of Ra as the Eye of Horus although this could have been a mistake on Ubisoft's part.
	*The "Triangle and Apple" and "Square of Writing" symbols also appeared in the [[Lairs of Romulus\|Lair of Romulus]] of [[Catacombs of Rome\|Catacombe di Roma]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', although it is not clear who left them there.		*The "Triangle and Apple" and "Square of Writing" symbols also appeared in the [[Lairs of Romulus\|Lair of Romulus]] of [[Catacombs of Rome\|Catacombe di Roma]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]'', although it is not clear who left them there.
	*The many mentions of the date December 21, 2012 refer to the end of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, most notably used by the Maya.
