But you might be right about it making more sense to be set in an early period if it's about the origins of the Assassin Brotherhood. Though that's a bit confusing since the Assassins were supposed to have began with Adam & Eve in the first place. I suppose maybe it deals with the first time they were reorganized as the actual Assassin Brotherhood? I don't know. I 'd be pretty disappointed not to visit the most glorious point of Egypt though where the most thrilling events happened. :( I think that would be a wasted opportunity.
