A whale fossil in Wadi Al-Hitan, Egypt

A fossil is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.[1]

History

5th century BCE

During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra visited the locale known as the Valley of the Snake in Phokis, Greece in her quest to locate and assassinate Elpenor, a member of the Eyes of Kosmos branch of the Cult of Kosmos. While in the region, she came across the ruins of the Snake Temple, where she saw the monstrous fossilized skeleton of the mythical serpent Python, who had been killed by the Greek god Apollo.[2]

1st Century BCE

Basilosaurus fossils could be found in the Faiyum, Saqqara Nome and the Sinai.[3] The deserts of Egypt, specifically the Wadi El Hitan is evidence of the seas which once covered the area.[4]

9th Century

Fossils could be found around Norway, England, and Vinland, in locations such as Stavanger and Kinder Downfall.[5]

19th Century

During his administrative career in India, the Master Templar William Sleeman found several dinosaur fossils in the Narmada Valley whilst searching for Isu artifacts on behalf of the British Rite of the Templar Order.[6]

In 1841,[7] Richard Owen, a zoologist known for his opposition to Darwinism, coined the term 'Dinosaur'.[8]

In 1868, Charles Darwin tasked the twins Jacob and Evie Frye from the British Brotherhood of Assassins with retrieving an Archaeopteryx fossil known as the "Berlin Specimen" from German scientist Dr. Schwartz at Charing Cross station. However, Dr. Schwartz was revealed to be an imposter intent on killing Darwin and was subsequently killed by the Assassins, who then recovered the fossil and gave it to Darwin.[9]

21st Century

In 1997, the Templar front company Abstergo Industries buried fake skeletons near Tim D. White's expedition in Ethiopia to throw off the scientific community from discovering the truth of humanity's origins.[10]

In 2011, Templar recruits who participated in Abstergo's second stage of their Animi Training Program received a dossier on the history of company and the Templars. In one of the files, it was theorized that the Isu had also evolved on Earth, and that fossilized skulls with a 30% larger cranial capacity found around Boskop, South Africa were proof of their existence.[11]

In 2014, Dr. Álvaro Gramática, a member of the Templars' Inner Sanctum, proposed in a public relations primer for a coordination of pre-existing disinformation campaigns to ensure that interest in Precursor fossils was misdirected into harmless avenues.[12]
