The Egyptian Rite of the Templar Order, known as the Order of the Ancients during Ptolemaic dynasty,[1] is the branch of the Templar Order which has operated throughout Egypt since at least the Ptolemaic dynasty.

History

Ptolemaic dynasty

In the 1st century BCE, the Templars aided Queen Cleopatra, which allowed her to become the sole ruler of Egypt.[2] However, on 12 August 30 BCE, the Egyptian Assassin Amunet infiltrated Cleopatra's palace, and killed her with a venomous asp.[3]

Renaissance

Sometime in 1505, Odai Dunqas, a cousin of the first Sultan of the Sennar Sultanate, relocated to Alexandria and encountered the Templar philosophy, of which he embraced, and called himself "The Guardian of the Truth". Soon after, he joined the Templars in the hopes of making his ambitions a reality.[4]

In 1511, during an excavation of the destroyed library of Alexandria, the Mamluk Sultanate's soldiers discovered two Memory Seals in a chest from 331 BC. After Ezio Auditore sent some Assassins from Constantinople to Alexandria to retrieve the seals, Templar soldiers launched an offensive to recover the Memory Seals.[5]

Despite successfully ambushing the Assassins and stealing the seals, the Templars subsequently lost them again when the Assassins organized a search party and recovered them.[5]
