Egypt is a country in northern Africa.
History
According to legends, Isis, the mother of all Egyptian Gods, owned the Ankh and used it to protect the kings of Egypt from harm. After some time, Osiris, Isis' lover, passed away. Isis then used the Ankh to revive him for one night, and during this night, Horus was born. After that, the Ankh was left in a pyramid for 200 years, until it was taken away by Roman plunderers. The Ankh eventually made its way to Rome.[1]
In the year 331 BC, the city of Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great.
In 30 BC, the Assassin Amunet assassinated the Egyptian queen Cleopatra with an asp.[2]
In 1240, the widow of Sef Ibn-La'Ahad and her children moved to Alexandria, after returning from their exile in Alamut.[3]
Some time around 1505, the Templar Odai Dunqas relocated to the city of Alexandria as well, having been driven away from his home by his own family.[4]
