History
According to legends, Isis, the mother of all Egyptian gods, owned the Ankh and used it to protect the kings of Egypt from harm. After some time, Osiris, Isis' lover, passed away. Isis then used the Ankh to revive him for one night, and during this night, Horus was conceived. From there, the Ankh was left in a pyramid for 200 years, until it was taken away by Roman plunderers to their home city.

Between 702 and 690 BCE, Shabataka ruled over Egypt using a Staff of Eden.

In 30 BCE, the Assassin Amunet assassinated the Egyptian queen Cleopatra with an asp.

By 1257, Darim Ibn-La'Ahad and his brother Sef's family had moved to Alexandria. The family was still present in 1511, as one of Altaïr's descendants, Iskender, had become Mentor of the Egyptian Assassins. The Mentor of the Italian Assassins, Ezio Auditore da Firenze, sent apprentices from Constantinople to prevent his execution. The Egyptian and Turkish Assassins also worked to recover Memory Seals from the destroyed library of Alexandria.

On December 9, 2012, William Miles, the de facto leader of the worldwide Assassin Order, went to Cairo to find the third and final power source for the Grand Temple, which was on display in a museum in the city. Despite his attempts to go unnoticed, the Templars discovered his location and captured him. After that, they send William and the artifact to the Abstergo facility in Rome, Italy.
