In 49 BCE, Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII appointed Medunamun, a member of the Order of the Ancients, as Oracle of Amun in a bid to consolidate his control over the remote, dissident town. A year later, the Medjay, Bayek, returned to Siwa, where he freed a group of farmers from their cage in the temple including Teremun, who had died from his wounds. He later carried his body out of the temple to his farm.[2]
