The Qattara Depression is a geographical depression in the northwest region of Egypt. Aside from Hotep Cavern, the final resting place of Assassin Brotherhood founders Bayek and Aya, the region bears little points of interest.
Geography
As the lowest point in the country, the wasteland is characterized by sand dunes, sparse vegetation, and salt pans. It is flanked on the north and south sides by barren mountains. A narrow gorge cutting into the northwest escarpment hosts one of the only sources of freshwater in the area, the Aquifer Oasis.[1]
History
In his childhood, the Medjay of Siwa, Bayek, would hide out in a cave known as Hotep Cavern with his eventual wife Aya. This was situated to the southwest end of the depression, within one of the escarpments around its perimeter.[1]
Around 47 BCE, Bayek returned here in the midst of his conflict with the Order of the Ancients. He revisited Hotep Cavern and found a stone circle formation erected in the outline of Osiris's constellation as per his promise to his late son Khemu.[1]
Thousands of years later in 2017, Layla Hassan journeyed to the region on a mission to find an important ancient artifact, setting up a camp inside Hotep Cavern and using an Animus to relive the genetic memories of Bayek and Aya.[1]
