The Grand Temple was the main temple built by members of the First Civilization. It is located in the United States, near New York City.
History
All information from the other temples about any way to prevent the first disaster would be sent there for Jupiter, Juno and Minerva to "sort and sample all that was collected." The three then tested six possible solutions in succession, "each more encouraging than the last," but all six solutions ultimately failed."
In 2012, a comatose Desmond Miles relived the memories of his ancestor Ezio Auditore da Firenze in 1506. Ezio and Leonardo da Vinci entered the Pythagorean Vault, which gave the coordinates to the Temple: 43 39 19 N 75 27 42 W. William Miles observed the memory and dispatched a team there.
Desmond soon relived Ezio's memories in 1512: the Mentor had entered Altaïr's library and was used by Altaïr's Piece of Eden to deliver a message to him: Desmond entered a Sync Nexus where Jupiter gave him the location and informed him to go there. Desmond awoke with William, Rebecca and Shaun near the Grand Temple, stating he knew what they had to do.
