The Egyptian Museum is a museum in Cairo, Egypt, known for its extensive collection of ancient Egyptian antiquities.[2]
History
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]
By 2012, the museum was also housing one of the power sources for the Grand Temple.[4] On 9 December of the same year, William Miles, the leader of the Assassins, located the source.[5] Two days later, William was captured by the Sigma Team,[6] who 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.
