Menkhtu
Menkhtu (died 46 BCE) was a priest who served under the Oracle of Amun Medunamun during the 1st century BCE. He later became known as The Ibis Reborn.
Biography[edit | edit source]
After Medunamun's death at the hands of the Medjay Bayek of Siwa,[1] Menkhtu took on Medunamun's mantle of The Ibis, calling himself as "The Ibis Reborn". Posing as Medunamun, he formed a sect from the Order of the Ancients' remnants in Egypt and attempted to gain control.[2]
In 46 BCE, word of Menkhtu's acts caught Bayek's attention, and he assigned a group of Egyptian Hidden Ones to uncover the identity of the supposedly resurrected "Medunamun". The Hidden Ones' investigations led them to a remote temple in the Haueris Nome, where Menkhtu had stationed a decoy of himself. Undeterred, the Hidden Ones slew the decoy and continued their hunt,[2] killing three more decoys in a tomb in the White Desert.[3]
In the meantime, Menkhtu was under the Great Pyramid of Giza, trying to break into the ancient Isu complex known as Khesesh Em Sesh Em Eeneb.[4] The Hidden Ones eventually caught up to Menkhtu in time to see him trying to decipher the vault's pedestal. Angered that the temple would not reveal its secrets to him, Menkhtu turned to face the Hidden Ones and engaged them in combat. However, they proved too strong for him, and he was killed. After his death, Menkhtu's true identity was revealed, and the rumors that the Ibis had been reborn were dispelled.[5]
