The Egyptian Museum is a museum in Cairo, Egypt, known for its extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities.[2]
History[edit | edit source]
Ottoman era[edit | edit source]
In 1858, French archaeologist Auguste Mariette, then head of the Antiquities Service, requested a museum be built in order to keep excavated artifacts in Egypt.[3] The Boulaq Museum would function from 1858 until 1902, when its collections were transferred to the recently built Egyptian Museum.[1]
Modern era[edit | edit source]
By 2012, the Egyptian Museum was housing one of the power sources for the Grand Temple.[4] On 9 December, William Miles, the de facto leader of the Assassin Order, located the power source and attempted to retrieve it.[5] Two days later, William was captured by the Templar paramilitary task force Sigma Team,[6] after they trapped him in the museum.[7] By 14 December, he was extracted from Cairo and transported to the Abstergo Industries facility in Rome, Italy.[8]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
The Egyptian Museum is never mentioned by name in Assassin's Creed III, being only referred to as "a museum in Cairo". It is also neither named in Assassin's Creed: Initiates nor Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, though both contain entries featuring an image of it in addition to an overhead satellite map. In the Desmond Files entry "William's Search", the exact coordinates of the museum are shown in the picture.
