- ―Ptahmose lecturing his men on the purpose of their activities, 38 BCE.[src]-[m]
Ptahmose (died 38 BCE) was an Egyptian official and member of the Order of the Ancients who operated under the cryptonym The Mason. Serving under Gaius Julius Rufio in the Sinai, he overaw various construction projects in the city of Arsinoe.
Biography[edit | edit source]
In 38 BCE, Ptahmose was instructed by Rufio to oversee the demolition of various Egyptian landmarks across the Sinai in order to recycle the raw materials in the construction of Roman infrastructure and to sell the artifacts to fund Roman war efforts. His particular role in the Order of the Ancients was to find and collect shards of a star, this being his genuine impetus for ravaging Amenmesse's pyramid.[1]
After learning about Ptahmose's actions, Gamilat, the leader of the Nabataean rebels in the Sinai, and the Hidden One Bayek infiltrated the pyramid in search of the Ancient, but found nothing on his whereabouts. Deducing that Ptahmose probably operated in Arsinoe, Bayek traveled there and assassinated the Ancient in a Roman camp, thus stopping the pillaging of Egyptian temples and monuments.[1]
Personality and traits[edit | edit source]
Ptahmose was an enterprising and pitiless man. He pushed his workers too hard, and when someone stepped out of line, he made an example out of them. In fact, he showed barely more concern for the well-beings of his servants than he did his Nabataean prisoners, whom he instructed his guards to interrogate via torture.[1]
Despite being Egyptian, Ptahmose felt no affection for his own people or culture. He had no qualms about destroying ancient Egyptian monuments to cannibalize the raw materials and pillaging Arsinoe's treasures to fund the Roman war machine. During his final moments, he showed no remorse for his actions, insisting that the Order was eternal.[1]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Ptahmose's name, transliterated as ptḥ-ms, means "Ptah is born". Like other Egyptian members of the Order of the Ancients, his name is ironic, as Ptah was the Egyptian god of craftsmanship, architecture, artisanry and creation, and Ptahmose sought to destroy Egyptian buildings and monuments to repurpose the raw materials.
- Ptahmose's cryptonym was "The Mason", and the Egyptian god Ptah was the patron of masons and stoneworkers.
