			=12 Dec 2011: Post ''Revelations'' with Spoilers=
			I've just completed the single-player story of Revelations; everything below this heading should be considered a spoiler if you don't want to learn about it.

			Firstly, I was thrilled by being able to have predicted the memory seals. Desmond reliving Ezio reliving Altair....''[satisfied sigh]''

			The 'Revelations' part, however, might have been a bit overrated. Seeing Altair complete his plans for the Masyaf library was indeed a revelation, but the finale just didn't have the hypoxia of "The rest is up to you, Desmond" or the horror of Lucy being stabbed.

			Anyway, Desmond apparently now knows the locations of the various temples and what exactly they need to do to prevent the Second Disaster. His skin's also doing a 'cool glow' thing, which may indicate his First Civilisation genes are starting to get REALLY active. Can Desmond access his genetic memories directly now, or does he still need the Animus?

			And why will we need to traverse another of Desmond' ancestors in AC3? To discover the locations of more temples, to determine where the Assassins hid the information in them? Perhaps the Desmond phase of the game will involve crawling through one level, and then we play the ancestor to learn more of the location.

	An idea just came to me: in 1506, Ezio comes to Leonardo to charter a ship and the next year is the confrontation in Viana. Yet in 1503ish, Ezio announces he has to leave after gazing into the Apple. Could Ezio have spent those 3 years away from Rome and working through Revelations, then come back to Rome for the Da Vinci Disappearance?

			==The Immortals==
			If you re-read the Codex, Altair remarks on the nature of immortality. Has someone, somewhere already used a Piece of Eden to become immortal? If so, what do they spend their painfully long lives doing all day? Will we encounter one of these people in the next game?

	Based on my highly extensive research (looking at the comments posted below) it seems the French Revolution is the most popular period of when AC3 will be set. I'm not particularly hopeful of this: I think that Revolutionary France has had enough exposure in other media (Les Miserables, Count of Monte Cristo). But then, simply setting the games in the Holy Land during the Crusades or Italy during the Renaissance are also somewhat stereotypical, so maybe that's what we should expect. Ah well: until it's formally announced, I'll keep speculating! :)		Based on my highly extensive research (looking at the comments posted below) it seems the French Revolution is the most popular period of when AC3 will be set.

			===A More Distant Ancestor?===
			Do we really have to assume AC3 will follow a grandson of Ezio? Maybe it will instead be a grandfather of Altair. I think the games will still be set in the Mediterranean, since the ancestor will (according to tradition) have the same facial structure as Desmond himself. That gives us an excuse to consider a few more settings:

			* Thebes during the Egyptian New Kingdom
			* The Greek & Persian wars
			* Fall of Troy. This would tie in neatly with the legends of the [[Pieces of Eden\|Apples]].

Maybe, once upon a time, the Templars were more like the Assassins: good guys acting as guardians of the various PoEs. But something changed and they became the "slavery is good" brigade.

			The Templars certain believe they're superior. Could their founders also be descended from the first civilisation? Maybe that's why they believe they're so qualified to turn us all into slaves: they're half-TWCB, not just mutated apes like the rest of us mugs.
