The truth is in here

§As we prepare to delve into the pyramid-shaped history of Ancient Egypt in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Assassin's Creed Origins, what better time to look back and ponder all the ways that the series has altered history so far. If you're not a history buff and believe everything you play, you might even think that it was all about meeting famous figures and stabbing them in the face. But in reality, that's only the half of it. In addition to focusing on the lives of various Assassins (members of a secret society with a fondness ✱for running up walls and a deep hatred of mandolin players), the story also shows the profound effect Assassins and their Templar nemes🔯es have had on humanity. Their's is a secret war, fought in the shadows, with vast impacts on the world at large.

Hmm, secret war and shadow-battling smacks of conspiracy theories, doesn't it? Well, that's not the only thing about Assassin's Creed that sounds a bit tin-hatted. The series has tons of fun incorporating some of the world's most well known conspiracy theories into its storyline, and even more fun saying they're all completely accurate. For those not in-the-know, I have here 11 insane conspiracy the💮ories that A🐲ssassin's Creed says are true, so that you may finally open your eyes! Just put this foil hat on first. It'll keep the CIA out of your brain.

The Knights Templar found something on the Temple Mount

The conspiracy: Back in 1120, the Knights Templar (one of the strongest and most wealthy Crusader forces) sweet-talked their way into some swanky headquarters on the Temple Mount, one of🌳 the most important religious sites in Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Kind of a big deal. What made it an even bigger deal was that the Temple Mount was supposedly the location of the fabled Solomon's Temple, and conspiracy theories abound that the Templars found something incredibly important there. By which I mean proof that Jesus survived the crucifixion and married Mary Magdalene. Basically the💧 oldest celebrity gossip in existence.

Assassin's Creed says: While the Illuminati is never specifically named, the Templars fit the bill precisely: descended from the Knights Templar, fraternal secret society, see everything, know everything, plans for world domination. The only thing standing between them and shooting a brainwashing mind-control or𝓰b into space are some parkour artists with shivs up their sleeves. Bet you couldn't tell that from folding a dollar in half!

Jesus had an heir

The conspiracy: The DaVinci Code didn't come up with this one. Questions about Jesus Christ's bloodline have existed for a very long time, though written examples started to stack up at the beginning of the 13th century. The theory goes that Jesus had a child (possibly with Mary Magdalene or some other unnamed woman) who was ꧙spirited away after his death, and is symbolically connected to the Holy Grail. All kinds of different folks, from a guy who claims to be the true king of Scotland to an elderly Japanese man from Aomori, assert that they are Jesus' descendant to this day. Even though most historians dispute the theory, that never stopped anybody from believing something, right?

Assassin's Creed says: Jesus totally had a descendent, but meh, she's not really worth talking about. Introduced in Assassin's Creed: Altair's Chronicles, Adha "the Chalice" is the highly s⛎ought descendent of Jesus who will supposedly unite all warring factions of the world. Also, she's Altair's girlfriend. Unfortunately for Adha, Altair's Chronicles was terrible, so she was killed immediately and only grudgingly ever mentioned again.

The Philadelphia Experiment was real

The conspiracy: Science is just magic with numbers, a well-known fact to those who believe in the Philadelphia Project. In 1943, the U.S. government supposedly conducted experiments on the USS Eldridge in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, misap🅰plying using principles of to turn the ship invisible. Because time machines or something. Researchers were supposedly able to make the Eldridge ♑disappear, reappear in Virginia, and then go 10 seconds back in time. Oh, and the first time they tried it, the ship reappeared with the crew embedded in her metal structure. And you thought you had a bad day at work.

Assassin's Creed says: The experiment totally happened under the Templars' orders, though the original conspiracy theory leaves out some details: the Eldridge actually went forward in time, stayed there for 18 minutes, and it's all thanks to ꧋a Piece of Eden. However, a showsℱ that the Templar front group Abstergo Industries chose not to carry out any more experiments, due to the risk of creating time paradoxes. Well, somebody's genre-savvy!

Houdini was murdered

The conspiracy: According to the historical record, the death of Harry Houdini is fairly straightforward: he perished f▨rom inflammation of the abdominal lining and a ruptured appendix in October 1926. There is speculation that these medical issues were caused by a punch to the stomach from a fan, but that's not a particularly crazy notion, so it isn't good enough to some. As a result, a couple more conspiracy-friendly theories have cropped up, suꦅch as the suggestion that this was all planned out and Houdini was actually murdered. What anyone would murder him for is a mystery, but that's just part of the charm, right?

Assassin's Creed says: Houdini was killed by the Templars so they could get ahold of--wait for it--a Piece of Eden he carried. That's what allowed him to do his tricks (or fool peopl⛄e into thinking he was doing them, whichever) and like he liked to do. His big crime was having something the Templars wanted, and they had plenty of resources to make his death look like an accident.

There really was someone on the grassy knoll - as a cover

The conspiracy: The assassination of JFK. This event is the focus of so many conspiracy theories they need their own Wikipedia page, and To sum it up, a lot of people don't buy the official story that President Kennedy was killed by lone gunman Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22, 1963, but they disagree on which conspiracy theory to believe. Some say the mafia was involved, or the Soviets, or Kennedy's own Vice President - and there was definitely, definitely someone on that grassy knoll.

Assassin's Creed says you're all wrong, because it's even crazier than that! Kennedy had (hmm, I wonder what it could be), and they sent in their own extraction team to kill him and nab the prize. The group included Oswald, video-taker Abraham Zaprude♓r, and🧸 Kennedy's own driver, who carried out the assassination and used a Piece of Eden to project a distraction onto - the grassy knoll. Well now don't we feel silly.

The Tunguska Event was an orchestrated disaster

The conspiracy: Duck and cover, this one's explosive. Back in June 1908, a mysterious object detonated in the center of Russia, leveling over 800 miles of forest in what is now known as the . The explosion was supposedly caused by a meteor, but not everyone bought that story, so conspiracy theories have cropped up to explain what really happened. Maybe it was aliens, or secret bomb testing, or time-traveling aliens, 𓄧or a black hole, or anti-matter, or other science-y stuff. Heck, some people even think Nikola Tesla did it! Haha, how silly!

Assassin's Creed says: Nikola Tesla did it. With a giant death ray on top of Wardenclyffe Tower. Because fuck Thomas Edison. It seems that in 1908, the Temp♊lars got ahold of yet another Piece of Eden and took it to a research facility near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River. Assassins approached Tesla, who at that point had bee⛎n financially ruined by Templars like Edison, and asked him to use his tower's wireless power transmission to destroy the facility. Destroy it he did, but not before getting in

Rasputin brainwashed people with black magic

The conspiracy: Did you have a section in your high school history class about the Russian Revolution? Do you watch the History Channel? Have you played Then you've heard of this guy. Healer to the Russian Prince Alexei during the early 20th century and , Rasputin exerted an 𝓡impressive degree of control over the Russian royal family. Some even say Rasputin wasn't just a healer, but a mystic who mentally controlled the Tsarina to worm his way into power. Also, he was really, really hard to kill, and after being poisoned, shot, beaten and thrown in a river, he died of drowning.

Assassin's Creed says that's all true, but Rasputin didn't do it on his own. A covert Templar agent, he infiltrated the Russian royal palace under the guise of healing Alexei and stole the Imperial Sceptre, which was totally normal and in no way magical. Just kidding, it was a Piece of Eden, which Rasputin used to heal, control minds, and survive brutal injur⭕y. Like his intestines falling ou🍎t. Eugh.

Hitler escaped his bunker, but he didn't get far

The conspiracy: There are those out 🐬there that found Hitler's suicide in his military bunker in April 1945 to be anticlimactic--or, at the very least, unbelievable. It's not uncommon for people to be skeptical about the death of a horrible tyrant without physical proof, and not surprising how quickly conspiracy theories of his escape cropped up. The most popular claim is t🐷hat the bodies found in the bunker were doubles and that he and Eva Braun bailed for South America. Their destination is disputed--one book published in the '60s says Argentina, and says Brazil - but the theory is the same: Hitler slipped right past the Allied forces without anyone being the wiser.

Assassin's Creed says Hitler did try to escape, bu๊t don't worry, he didn't get far. As it turns out, the Assassins didn't like him much, and were all too happy to find his bunker and while he was on his way out. You're welcome, world.

The world was going to end in December 2012

The conspiracy: Ah, the 2012 phenomenon. Like Y2K on steroids. According to conspiracy theorists with questionable archeological backgrounds, the Mayan calendar predicted the world would end or chang🍸e cataclysmically on December 21, 2012, because that's when the calendar ended. Despite the fact that that's not how calendars work, the theory held strong until the fateful date, when everyone went about their business and the world quietly failed to end.

Assassin's Creed says: It was totally going to happen, becaus⛦e solar flares! One was going to mess up the polarity of Earth and cook the planets surface, and only a portion of humanity would survive. Thankfully the creators of humankind built a reality altering machine (just go with it) that could protect Earth at the critical moment, and wouldn't you know 🌸it, Desmond was there to use the thing! He died in the process, but the planet was saved and the developers got to kill off a character they didn't want to deal with anymore. Everyone wins.

Human evolution was altered by alien intelligence... sort of

The conspiracy: This one's so old and so well known, it gets a fancy sounding name: the Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis. It says that a race of intelligent extraterrestrial beings visited Earth and vastly altered the trajectory of homo sapiens. Apparently everything from Egyptian pyramids to human genetic code exists because of smarty-pants aliens playing fast and loose with our evolution. It even suggests that what we now think of as gods were those alien visitors, it's just that we were still chewing rocks at 🌺the t🐼ime and didn't know the difference.

Assassin's Creed says this exactly! Except they were here first and we were their cattle. A telepathic humanoid species known as the First Civilization, humanity's creators needed a bigger workforce to support thei♔r society. So, they took some unsuspecting apes, molded the creatures in their own image, and humanity was born! Except those early humans got tired of being slaves, rebelled against their creators, and built new societies on the ruins left behind after the struggle. Call it our species rebellious teen stage.

Cleopatra was killed by an Assassin. Of course.
