Pythagorean Vault

I wanted to ask you something. Which is... what's your name? This article title is conjecture. Although the article subject is canon, no official name for it has been given. |
The Pythagorean Vault was a small Temple constructed by the Isu that was later incorporated into the Temple of Pythagoras, in Rome. Small in comparison to many other Temples, the Pythagorean Vault was largely hollow, save for a small pedestal located in the center of the main chamber on a raised platform.
History
In 1506, Ercole Massimo and his Hermeticists sought to enter the temple and the vault. To do this, they kidnapped Leonardo da Vinci and tortured him to help them gain entrance. However, the Italian Assassins' Mentor Ezio Auditore rescued Leonardo and slew Ercole. Afterwards, Leonardo and Ezio explored the Pythagorean temple and entered the vault. Once they activated the pedestal within the vault, the walls of the vault lit up with numerous symbols, numbers, and letter codes: "43° 39' 19" N, 75° 27' 42" W". Though Leonardo thought that the sequence was meaningless, Ezio simply remarked that it was not meant for them.[1] 20 years later, Giovanni Borgia and Maria Amiel visited the vault. While within, Giovanni suffered a type of transformation and an entity known as Consus spoke through him.[2]
Behind the scenes
The numbers revealed in the Pythagorean vault are the latitude and longitude of Turin, New York, where the Grand Temple is located. Connecting the Grand Temple's coordinates with Rome, New York to the South and Florence, New York to the West results in an almost perfect Pythagorean triangle.
