Shabataka
Shabataka (died 705 BCE) was the second Kushite pharaoh of the Twenty-fifth Dynasty of Egypt. He was the son of Piye.
Biography
Shabataka was in possession of a Staff of Eden, which he used to rule over Egypt and Kush between 714 BCE and 705 BCE.[1]
Legacy
In 2012, Shabataka was one of many historical people included in the Glyph puzzles the late Assassin Clay Kaczmarek had left behind in the Animus as messages for his successor Desmond Miles to decipher. Desmond later did in September of that year.[2] Desmond solved this puzzle, which was part of a set titled "Instruments of Power" where Shabataka was included in the list of historical individuals revealed by Clay to have wielded a Staff of Eden.[1]
Behind the scenes
The bas-relief shown in the Glyphs actually depicts the god Amun rather than Shabataka.
