In 1830, the obelisks at the portal of Luxor Temple were given by Egypt to France,[REF WIKI] through the influence of Jean-François Champollion. The original pedestal, which had sculptures of baboons with prominent male genitalia, was deemed too obscene and it was separated from the rest of the work, being sent to the Louvre, and would later be exhibited in the museum's annex in Lens. The main column was installed at the Place de la Concorde.[REF MIN]
In myths from the Ptolemaic era, Isis was paired with Serapis and they had a son named Harpocrates.[REF MIN]
Serapis was paired with the goddess Isis, with whom he had a son, Harpocrates.[REF MIN]
Among his many actions as an Assassin, Mirabeau also managed to confirm the presence of a Templar treasure in the region of Lens.[REF MIN]
After successfully retrieving the Apple of Eden, Napoleon returned home in October 1799. As the Jacobins took control of France in a coup, Napoleon allied with the Director Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès to organize another coup.[1] Using his newfound power,[20] Bonaparte seized power for himself during the coup of 18 Brumaire in 9 November, becoming the First Consul of France.[REF MIN][1]
[...]In 1800, his sister Caroline married General Joachim Murat.[15] In May of that year, Bonaparte took command of an army in Lyon and crossed the Great St Bernard Pass to confront the Austrians in Italy.[REF MIN]
Mithras, an evolution of the Persian sun god[REF MIN] Mithra, was a god worshipped by ancient Romans as a form of Roman paganism.[REF WIKI] Mithras was often depicted slaying a bull, and often had on a Phrygian cap[1, MIN] and Iranian trousers to emphasize his Eastern origins. His festival was celebrated on 25 December.[REF MIN]
The cult of Mithras appeared in Rome at the end of the 1st century CE, and spread throughout the Roman Empire, with several temples being built across the provinces.[REF MIN] The province of Brittania, had at least two such mithraeum, one in Londinium[1] and another in Venta Belgarum.[Impaling the Seax] After being abandoned for numerous centuries following the Roman exodus of Britannia in the 5th century, these temples were subsequently used by a faction of the Order of the Ancients, who worshipped the god and practiced its beliefs.[1+Impaling the Seax]
In the Middle Ages, the Levantine Assassin Mentor Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad noted in his codex the similarities between Mithra and figures of other belief systems such as Jesus of Nazareth, Horus, and Dionysos. He postulated that these stories shared a common source.[2]
The Lens Mining Company (French: Compagnie des mines de Lens) was the company responsible for the extraction of coal in the Nord-Pas de Calais Mining Basin of Northern France. It was established in 1852 and operated in the city of Lens until it was nationalized in 1946,[REF WIKI] with its main building being later transformed into the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Artois. Besides mining, the company also operated with construction, building not only the housing estates for its employees, but also many amenities in the city such as a school, a clinic and a church.[REF MIN]
In 1960, then operating under the name of Groupe de Lens-Liévin,[REF WIKI] the company closed operations at the Lens mining site number 9, transferring the workers into the construction of the Bollaert-Delelis stadium with assistance from Abstergo Industries, who used such operations as a cover for their investigations on a lost Templar treasure in the region. Unbeknownst to both companies, miner Henri Mulio had already located and hidden the treasure by then,[REF MIN] which would only be recovered by his great-grandson[REF INTERVIEW] Simon Mulio in the 2020s.[REF MIN]

The Church of Saint-Léger is a church in Lens, France dedicated to Saint Léger of Autun.
History
First built during the 10th centry CE,[REF WIKI] the original church was destroyed by the Spanish[REF MIN] during the Thirty Years' War. Though rebuilt in 1776,[REF WIKI] the relentless bombing of the city during World War I would once again reduce the church to rubble, along with over 98% of Lens. After the war, it was rebuilt with the assistance of Abstergo Industries, who used the reconstruction effort as a pretext to conduct a survey of the city center as part of their investigations of a lost Templar treasure.[REF MIN]
In the 2020s, Simon Mulio visited the church during his own search for the treasure and, after his disappearance, an Abstergo employee tracking him did the same.[REF MIN]

- Thanks to you, we now know that the location of the Templar Treasure was discovered and kept secret by Henri Mulio, a former miner for the Lens mining company.
- Congratulations! Your research has revealed that Mulio was following in the footsteps of his ancestor Henri Mulio, a former miner. The latter had apparently discovered the Templar Treasure in pit number 9, now located beneath the Louvre-Lens museum.
- "Didn't you hear what happened at shaft number 9? Apparently, one of the guys found something incredible! The foreman said it was a false alarm, but it all seems fishy to me…"
- Nothing was left to chance in the architecture of the former offices of the Lens mining company: the number of dormer windows, the small skylights, corresponds to the number of mines that were worked. According to the documents, a former miner listed in these records who worked at pit number 9 was Mulio's ancestor. This may not be a coincidence.

- Abstergo had Mulio under surveillance until his disappearance, having suspected him of having ties to the Assassins.
- They recovered some notes as well as a digital copy of an engraved tablet from the museum, and learned he had managed to infiltrate the Louvre-Lens.
- Clues found at his home pointed to a piece in the museum's main exhibition hall [La Galerie du temps].
- Mulio implemented a computer security system at the museum, the purpose of which was to protect something.
- A forged employee badge was found: this would explain Mulio's ability to move freely within the museum…
- The treasure was hidden in an underground gallery at the louvre-lens, the entrance to which was concealed behind the portrait of Napoleon crossing the alps.

- Abstergo believed that a Templar treasure is buried somewhere beneath Lens.
- The immense black hills overlooking the city are slag heaps. Formed by decades of accumulation of mining waste extracted from the tunnels, they are the highest in Europe. The shale that makes up the spoil heaps takes on a red color inside. This same red shale was long used to make the clay courts of Roland Garros.
- The Lens mining company [fr:Compagnie des mines de Lens] wasn't limited to mining infrastructure. It built everything necessary for its workers and their families: a school, a clinic, a church… and even a stadium! The most sophisticated houses at the entrance to the miners' housing estates were intended for positions of responsibility (surveyor, engineer, etc.). They allowed the mine managers to be close to the extraction site and to observe the comings and goings of the workers on a daily basis.
- There are numerous pits in the region. The countless galleries have transformed the subsoil of the region into a veritable Swiss cheese. Some are located at depths of over 600 meters. The Louvre-Lens is built above pit number 9 [Fosse no 9 des mines de Lens]. The grove of trees in front of the building's main entrance is located on the site of the former mine shaft entrance. Louvre-Lens was created in 2012. The layout of the main gallery is unique. The works are meticulously displayed along two axes: in depth you travel through the eras, while horizontally you journey between continents.
- Lens was one of the cities most severely affected during the First World War. It was almost 99% destroyed. In addition to being on the front line, its capacity for extracting mineral resources made it a prime target.
- Lens had approximately 20,000 miners out of a population of 40,000.
- Lens is the smallest city to have hosted a World Cup match, in 1998. The match was between France and Paraguay, and France's victory allowed them to advance to the quarter-finals. With only 32,000 inhabitants, the Lens stadium can accommodate more than 38,000 supporters, which is more than its own population.

Lens mining site number 9 [Fosse no 9 des mines de Lens]
- For several decades, the Lens No. 9 mine shaft produced a large quantity of coal, until it ceased operations in 1960. Its backfilling in 1980 should have marked its closure, but rumors circulated among the miners: what if the mine still held something hidden? The conclusions of the research conducted by Abstergo on this subject are incredible: it could very well be the famous Templar Treasure!
- The clues you found lead to the old mine shaft number 9, the one located beneath the Louvre-Lens… Could the Assassin Brotherhood also be on the trail of the Treasure?

- To keep the workers occupied after the closure of certain mines, the construction of the stadium was entrusted to them. A miner's lamp is featured on the Racing Club de Lens crest to commemorate this special connection. The club's emblem, in blood and gold colors, is not a coincidence. It is said to have been inspired by the ruins of the Saint-Léger church, a vestige of past Spanish rule.

- To keep its workers occupied after the mine closures, the mining company tasked its men with building their own stadium. In its search for treasure, Abstergo cooperated with the mining company to excavate the area. The stadium, like other buildings, served as cover during these searches. But Mulio apparently realized this and narrowed down his investigation area.
- Mulio discovered that the construction of the stadium, ordered by the mining company, was merely a pretext to acquire and explore more underground resources in the surrounding area...

- To compensate for the deficiencies of soil weakened by underground tunnels, the structure of Lens station was built on pistons to prevent it from collapsing.
- Lens railway station [Gare de Lens (Pas-de-Calais)] is an important transit point: there is certainly something noteworthy there.
- The station's shape evokes that of a locomotive, illustrating the Art Deco influence during the city's post-war reconstruction. The foundations were reinforced with hydraulic jacks to compensate for ground movement. Analysis by the Animus reveals that the station's subsoil has subsided due to the recent use of the underground tunnels. Significant quantities of resources were transported this way; was it the treasure? Judging by the subsidence of the station's basement, something substantial has passed through the underground tunnels. Perhaps the tunnels were even used to move the Templar Treasure!
