Every Assassin’s Creed game, featured a person inside the memories of someone in the past. Origins is no different… until it starts to break the 4th wall by literally telling me to “wake up”.
\nIn some of these tombs, is an extra tomb with blackened, futuristic walls. And usually in the center is a device, that only works if you insert five silica to activate it. Each one mentions about “it has been XX days since the ‘Great Catastrophe'” (no clue what this was). And they seem to all be pointing at three things;
\n1. The present (as of the year the game was released).
\n2. Time.
\n3. The world to end.<\/p>\n
These are the Precursors, similar to the beings in Subnautica<\/em> (of how Silica is required to activate their devices). Thing is, with that game, it’s set in the future and is to be expected to see an ancient alien civilization… but in this<\/em> game (with it supposed<\/span> to be historically accurate), this has no place. This is when it started to really hurt, and I remained silent as the person continued to speak harsh (but true) words… …….

\nYou could say that these guys are the beings that built the pyramids. That is, until they start talking about things one would see in their everyday modern life. What’s worse, is Bayek isn’t being bothered by these 4th wall breaking messages (of how they feel like they’re talking to the one playing the guy). Possibly, Layla; the person who’s going through Bayek’s memories.. telling her to “wake up”.
\nA possible connection to this, is the first time Bayek approaches one of these pillars (in the ‘Tomb of Smenkhkare’). It talks about the events of December 21st, 2012, when we were told the world would end. It mentions Desmond (the company behind the project of going through the minds of the past) launched a satellite (called the ‘global aurora borealis device’) that saved Earth from a powerful CME(C<\/strong>oronal M<\/strong>ass E<\/strong>jection) of the sun, and how humanity went on with their lives of not knowing that the world was actually<\/em> doomed that day.
\n–
\nThe scary, unnerving thing about it.. is these beings (as they claim) were the ones that were trying to doom humanity (but obviously failed in their mission). Their reasoning, is because they made mistakes and don’t want humanity to repeat them.
\nIn another tomb, I swear it felt like as if this being was talking directly to me at times.
