The Egyptian Museum is a museum in Cairo, Egypt known for its extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities.[2]
History
Ottoman era
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
By 2012, the museum was housing one of the power sources for the Grand Temple.[4] On 9 December, William Miles, the 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]
Behind the scenes
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.
