Chichen Itza is a former Mayan city located on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. Home to a number of cenotes and underground cave systems, Chichen Itza housed several notable landmarks including the Platform of Venus, the Platform of the Eagles and Jaguars, the Great Ball Court and the Pyramid of Kukulkan.
During the 18th century, it was the location of a Templar work site dedicated to excavating Mayan ruins in search of First Civilization artifacts.
History
In 1764, the Templars discovered proof of a First Civilization artifact located in Chichen Itza called the Prophecy Disk, and planned to divert slaves and vagrants from Louisiana to a work camp in Chichen Itza. Through working with high-ranking French and Spanish officials in New Orleans, the Templars, particularly Rafael Joaquín de Ferrer, began transporting workers to the Templar worksite in Mexico to excavate ruins they believed to house the Prophecy Disk.[1]
In 1769, after learning of the transportation of slaves to Mexico, the Assassin Aveline de Grandpré traveled to Chichen Itza to discover the extent of the Templar plans. Whilst there, she uncovered evidence that her mother, Jeanne, was stationed in Chichen Itza and discovered a map leading to location of an artifact deep within a cenote. After traversing the cave system, Aveline unearthed a fragment of the Prophecy Disk inside a chamber constructed by the First Civilization.[1]
However, she was then confronted by de Ferrer, but managed to overpower his guards and assassinate the Templar before escaping through the mines he had entered through. At the end of the tunnels, she encountered her mother, Jeanne; however, she was fearful that the Assassins had sent Aveline to kill her, and refused to disclose any information to her daughter before fleeing the mines.[1]
In 1772, Aveline returned to Chichen Itza to recover the second half of the Prophecy Disk. Whilst there, she made peace with her mother, who directed her to an abandoned canoe in another cenote. Aveline navigated through the subterranean caves and came across another room built by the First Civilization, where she recovered the final piece of the Prophecy Disk. Following this, Aveline attempted to convince her mother to return to New Orleans, though Jeanne refused, settling to look after Chichen Itza's newly formed community.[1]
