Wadjet's burrow was a cave in Soknopaiou Nesos, Egypt, beneath the ruins of a temple. It was established by the cult of the Egyptian snake-goddess Wadjet.
Sometime around 48 BCE, the cultists began to breed snakes and set up a shrine in Wadjet's burrow. With the snakes, the cultists sought to scare and kill the Greeks of Soknopaiou Nesos, feeding the rumors of Wadjet's "curse". In 48 BCE, the acts of the cult drew the attention of the Medjay Bayek of Siwa, and he investigated the deaths and chaos, and found the burrow, killing all the snakes inside. He then proceeded to seek out the leader of the cultists, and end the 'curse'.[1]
