	~~In 38~~ BCE, the [[Medjay]] [[Bayek]] investigated rumors of ghosts and strange happenings in the [[Desheret Desert]]. While exploring the sands, he entered the buried [[Qeneb.too Kah'Aiye]] [[Temple (Isu)\|vault]], where he saw a depiction of a Memory Seal engraved into one of the rock pillars holding up the vault's ceiling. After inserting the [[Seth-Anat stone]] in the engraving's empty center space, the stone conjured a host of illusory undead [[soldier]]s. Fleeing the temple, Bayek collapsed unconscious just outside its entry. When he awoke sometime later and returned to the temple, he found that the Memory Seal symbol had mysteriously disappeared.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' – [[Lights Among the Dunes]]</ref>		Around 34 BCE, the [[Medjay]] [[Bayek]] investigated rumors of ghosts and strange happenings in the [[Desheret Desert]].
