The Red Sea is a strategic body of water situated between Africa and Asia. In ancient times, the sea was also known as the Sea of Reeds.
History[edit | edit source]
Sometime between the 16th and 13th century BCE, the Hebrew prophet and religious leader Moses used a Staff of Eden to part the sea, allowing the Israelites to escape the pursuing Egyptians.[1][2]
Around 38 BCE, the Hidden One Bayek of Siwa travelled across the sea in order to reach the Sinai Peninsula and assist the bureau leader Tahira and the Nabataean rebels under Gamilat in fighting the occupying Roman forces secretly lead by the Order of the Ancients.[3]
In 824, the remaining members of Fuladh Al Haami's group of mercenaries stole a dhow and sailed across the Red Sea to track the Martyrs of Agaunum faster. However, two members Roshan and Nafanua were thrown aboard by a traitor, but they were able to climb back aboard. Roshan and Nafanua remained alert and skeptical of everyone else onboard except themselves. After sailing across the sea, they docked at Karachi to recover from their last fight and perils they faced.[4]
By the late 12th century CE, Moses' parting of the sea had passed into legend, with the Levantine Assassins' Mentor Al Mualim asserting that only a Piece of Eden could have had enough power to perform the feat.[1][5] It was not until 2012 that the truth behind the event was revealed, when the late Assassin Clay Kaczmarek revealed to Desmond Miles in a Glyph puzzle that Moses' staff was in fact a Staff of Eden.[2]
