@Sol Pacificus, I apologize in that area, I am not as well versed in Egyptian history as I am with other cultures. Of course, referring back to the Bible, I can seem to remember that women were of course higher than slaves, and depending on their husband's position in society, were quite affluential and influential. A later account describing a birthday party, had the Pharoah asking his daughter what she wanted, and his wife requested John the Baptist's head on a platter. In other cultures, a woman would not have had that kind of influence.

You are correct of course in stating that the Assassin Brotherhood were centuries ahead of their time in social and cultural progression, and so the issue of sexism would not be apparent. However, there appears to be leaks of a male protagonist, so perhaps not.

Well, Ubisoft hasn't shunned religion in the past, but working in Biblical events could work out well, such notable individuals such as Moses for instance, who held a staff blessed by God, parted the Red Sea. Perhaps the staff within the AC universe could be a piece of Eden. The only staff I'm familiar with though is the Ankh, and that's associated with resurrection. As for the Pharoah, he was not named, but the Bible was written over a period of 2,600 years if I recall, and done so during an age when language and writing had been invented, and in use. The events of Exodus however are spread apart by decades. The Israelites actually wandered through the wilderness for 40 years protected by God.
