Desert Visions were a series of mirages and hallucinations experienced by the Medjay-become-founder of the Hidden Ones Bayek of Siwa during his travels across Egypt to destroy the Order of the Ancients.
Some were clairvoyant in nature leading him to silica or specific locations. Others alluded to events experienced both by Bayek and people much more ancient than him.[1]
Sand drawings[]
Most of these mirages would be prefaced by a hallucination of Khemu drawing on the sand, though when approached, only one of these drawings would remain.
