Letopolis

Letopolis (Greek: Λητοῦς Πόλις) was an ancient Egyptian city located by the Nile river in the Sapi-Res Nome. It was home to the Order of the Ancients member Taharqa, also known as The Scarab.[1]

History

Sometime before Bayek's arrival, the city was a cult center for Sekhmet, the goddess of war, fire and healing. When Taharqa became the city's steward and elected to replace Sekhmet with Horus, a group of wab priests believed his actions was an act of sacrilege and thus made an invocation in a temple for Sekhmet at the cost of their own lives. As a result by 48 BCE, many parts of the city was covered by the desert including the Temple of Sekhmet, causing Taharqa to built a new temple in worship of Horus instead.[2]
