			==Unknown II==
			Gold for Glass

			Alexander the Great's original sarcophagus was made of gold. Cleopatra's great-uncle sold it to pay for an army. It was replaced by one of alabaster or glass.

			True Parentage

			In stories, Alexander the Great's mother mated with a snake. Some say Alexander consulted an oracle, and (after paying a bribe) was told he was a son of Zeus.

			The Piper

			Cleopatra's father, Ptolemy, styled himself the "New Dionysus." However, Alexandrians called him "the bastard," or "Auletes," the piper, for he loved playing.

			In a Name

			Cleopatra - a Greek name - can be defined as "Glory of Her Fatherland."

			Egyptian Woman

			Egyptian women could loan money; operate barges; serve as priests; initiate legal suits. They owned vineyards, ships, businesses, slaves, and chattel.

			Herodotus' Reports

			Herodotus believed that in Egypt, men stayed home to tend the loom while women ran the markets, and that "the women urinate standing up, the men sitting down."

			Royal Baby Food

			It is likely that a wet nurse took care of Cleopatra; that a servant pre-chewed food when she was a baby and that they had royal tasters to check for poison.

			The Death Business of Memphis

			The sacred city, run by a hierarchy of priests, was set up for business. Pilgrims bought miniature mummified animals like hawks and crocodiles to take home.

			Speaking in Tongues

			It is alleged that Cleopatra was the only member of the Ptolemies who learned Egyptian - the language of seven million people in their kingdom.

			Those Who Can't

			In Alexandria, scholars were highly regarded. In the rest of the Hellenistic world, not so much. One expression: "He's either dead or off teaching somewhere."

			Made in Spain

			The Portable Animus is the brainchild of Abstergo Madrid. It was developed under the direction of Sofia Rikkin. The facility was destroyed in 2016 in obscure circumstances.

			An Egyptian in New York

			Layla Hassan was born in Cairo in 1984. Her family immigrated to New York City when she was only 2 years old.

			Bitch'n Stitches

			Deanna Geary loves to cross-stitch. However, her needle-pointed messages are not exactly family-friendly.

			Gut Feeling

			Layla is a level 3 employee. She doesn't know the corporation is a front for Templars, but over the years, she has noticed how frequently Abstergo higher-ups tend to disappear.

			The More You Know

			Historical Research Division is based in Philadelphia. They scout and analyze data in order to catalog and preserve humanity's history. In the shadows, they supply critical information to help push Abstergo's secret agenda.

			You're It

			Prolonged use of the Animus can cause the Bleeding Effect, a condition where the user's real-time experience blends with the genetic memories experienced through the simulation.

			The Golden Records

			The Silent Cenotaph, deep in the sand, awaits. Patiently. For centuries. Until he is silent no more.

	The Second Intermediate Period fared no better than the first, with over 160 rulers from three dynasties in a period slightly longer than a century.

			==Possibly CotP==
			Hell on Wheels

			The chariot was introduced by the Hittites, Egypt's rival for Middle Eastern dominance.

			Valley of the Kings

			Tuthmosis I attempted to stifle tomb robbing by hiding his tomb in a small valley across the Nile from Thebes. It didn't last.

			Change of Pace

			Hatshepsut was Egypt's first female pharaoh. There were no conquests during her time. Instead, Egypt received a fresh helping of delicate art and elegant temples.

			Egypt's Napoleon

			Tuthmosis III conducted eight campaigns in ten years. He captured all major cities and carried Egypt's standard as far as it would ever reach.

			There Can Be Only One

			Akhenaten brought upon monotheism, the belief in one god. This revolutionary movement was short-lived, as it had forced Egyptians to celebrate their gods underground.

			Rameses The Great

			More statues and temples bear Rameses II name than any other pharaoh, and like many rulers before him, he substituted his name on whatever already existed.

			Fatherhood is Hard Work

			Rameses II managed to father over one-hundred children, with over fifty of them sons.

			It Ends Here

			The Persians, who ruled Egypt in the Late Period, met their match with Alexander the Great, who was welcomed as a savior and proclaimed pharaoh.

			The 32nd Dynasty

			Egypt's final dynasty was founded by Alexander the Great's general, Ptolemy I Soter.

			Statuesque

			According to ancient texts, statues of gods could nod and talk, and even served as judges in courts of law.

			Quite the Tenure

			Memphis was the longest lasting major metropolis in the history of the world, being relevant for over 3,000 years.

			Slippery Slopes

			Have you tried sliding down the side of a pyramid? What're you waiting for? Give it a go!

			Lights, Please

			Even a well-rounded Medjay has trouble seeing in the dark. You can always try throwing your torch to see what lies ahead.

			A Fragile Alliance

			Cleopatra's father, Ptolemy Auletes, allied with Pompey the Great. However, when Cleopatra took the throne, Julius Caesar broke Pompey's forces in a civil war.

			World of Myth and Legends

			In Cleopatra's time, history and mythology blended together. One could view Orpheus' lyre, or see the egg which supposedly hatched Helen of Troy, in Sparta.

			Flawed Sources

			There are no accurate records of who Cleopatra's mother was; how long she was in Rome; how often she was pregnant; if she married Antony; or even how she died.

			Harlot Queen

			Although future historians would describe Cleopatra as a sexual predator (or worse), when she met Julius Caesar she likely had no sexual experience.

			Caesar's Philosophy

			"All men work more zealously against their enemies than they cooperate with their friends."

			From Mud to Bricks
			Mud was the preferred building material, as it easily baked in the sun and hardened into bricks. It was often mixed with straw as a fortification.
