Sheshat's Grotto

Sheshat's Grotto

Sheshat's Grotto was a newer mining section of the larger Klysma Quarry, located in the Klysma Nome, on the Sinai in Egypt. During the 1st century BCE, the Roman legate Tacito oversaw the quarry as part of his duties as a lieutenant to the Order of the Ancients member Rufio. Due to its small underground tunnels, mining in the grotto was done by child slaves provided to the quarry by the slave trader Harwa.

History

In 38 BCE, the Hidden One Bayek investigated the quarry and discovered information about Sheshat's Grotto and its use of child slaves. Bayek then killed the soldiers guarding the grotto's entrance, allowing the children to go free before tracking down Harwa and assassinating him as well, thereby freeing another child the slaver had in a cage.

Trivia

• The name of the grotto references the Egyptian goddess of writing, wisdom and knowledge.
