	'''Medunamun '''(c. 103 BCE – 48 BCE), also known as '''The Ibis''', was an [[Egypt]]ian member of the [[Order of the Ancients]] who was installed as the [[Oracle of Amun]] in [[Siwa]] by the ~~Pharaoh~~ [[Ptolemy XIII]] in 49 BCE. Since the purported impetus for his appointment was for the pharaoh to consolidate his hold over the remote, dissident town, Medunamun was derided as a false oracle by his enemies, including the [[Medjay]] [[Bayek]].		'''Medunamun '''(c. 103 BCE – 48 BCE), also known as '''The Ibis''', was an [[Egypt]]ian member of the [[Order of the Ancients]] who was installed as the [[Oracle of Amun]] in [[Siwa]] by the pharaoh [[Ptolemy XIII]] in 49 BCE. Since the purported impetus for his appointment was for the pharaoh to consolidate his hold over the remote, dissident town, Medunamun was derided as a false oracle by his enemies, including the [[Medjay]] [[Bayek]].

	In reality, Medunamun's motives for seeking the mantle of Oracle were more covert, for his true interest was in an [[Siwa Vault\|Isu Vault]] that lay beneath the [[Temple of Amun]]. Under his injunctions, the villagers of Siwa were subjected to extortion and arbitrary detention and were the victims of rampant atrocities committed by the town [[soldier]]s. Protests were met with violent reprisals, often against entire families, with whole neighborhoods being razed to the ground.
