I'm very curious as to what the so-called "Pieces of Eden" are. The only theories I've been able to come up with are :

- Highly advanced technology from the past (theory of cyclic history)

- Alien technology left on Earth

- Advanced Mayan technology (in regards to the Mayan 2012 13 crystal skulls prophecy)


Anyone have any other theories?

Advanced Mayan technology would be silly. Those guys were running around in loin cloth, clubbing each other in a coma with crude weapons, so they could later rip out their hearts and throw them down their piramids (last bit could be Aztecs as well, the loin cloth and crude weapons part still applies though). I can't imagine such primitive people (although advanced for their time) to suddenly come up with something like the pieces of Eden.

The alien thing doesn't feel very AC and I don't think Ubi is gonna pull an Indiana Jones on us with this one.

So yeh, most plausible to me would be advanced technology from the past.

so they got lucky with one thing, people still shouldn't believe in the whole 2012 thing, the Mayans built their calendar in sections, and if they were still around at 2012, then they would make a new because the old section was up. That's what they did with the rest, they never foretold when the world would end.

But on topic: I'm thinking time travel might be involved and some dude form 3012 left em thereMean Happy

disturbed they actually did a lot of things that now would be a massive engineering project, that is a lot more advanced than the time, if you ever get to visit their structures at one point they actually have them positions so the sound will bounce off each one allowing one man to stand and make an announcement while a massive area can hear it so he can address large crowds.

while they didn't have any technology in our sense of the word they could do a lot that cant be explained for the time period.

Time travel.... hm... could work...

The achievement for finding all of Subject 16's videos shows Ezio, so maybe he leared how to time travel?

But they didn't use metallurgy(sp?). The piece of Eden from ACI deffinately had a housing of some sort of metal.

Ancient Greece did this as well. Ever been to one of the left over ambitheatres of that time? Same thing. Not saying it isn't an incredible feat, but it's not just limitted to Mayas.

Those videos are probably stored somewhere in the Abstergo facility. Makes more sense than time travel.

The housing could have been made afterwards.

1) You aren't in Abstergo anymore.
2) Then how come it's a picture of Ezio?

EDIT: Ignore my second point, the site with the achievements on has now switched all of the pics around :@

You are at the start of ACII Wink

And that housing thing is plausible. Although it seemed to me that all that's in it is some sort of energy. Besides, they plucked that thing fresh out of the tombs beneath Jerusalem. Must've been laying there hundreds of years before ACI took place. It doesn't sound believable to me someone in the first millenium AC managed to craft that with the knowledge of metallurgy that was available at that time.

I suppose, but 16 videos inside of 30 minutes?

But it has a cross on it. So the church must have been involved somewhere. And it looks like copper or bronze, which one one of the first metals to be worked.

Are you talking about the cup or the piece of eden itself? Cause I agree on the cup, that was probably crafted somewhere mid 1st millenium. It's the thing itself that bugs me.

You said the housing, by which I assumed you were talking about the thing that holds the piece of Eden.

http://images3.wikia.nocookie..../images/d/d5/POE.jpg

From that picture I can see what you mean about the piece of Eden itself. It does look... futuristic.


A thought that's just hit me is: Maybe the world doesn't end on 12/12/2012. Maybe when Abstergo try to control everyone they screw up and the piece somehow gets transported back in time? Just looking at the design of it makes me think of Abstergo

If you read one of the e-mails, it mentions the Philadelphia Experiment, where in the 1950's a ship momentarily disappeared from radar and view, and the crew were fused to the bulkhead or went insane. People think they travelled in time, so maybe that's where the Piece of Eden came from.

So the piece they find in ACI is the piece they rediscover in 2012, which then gets sent back and time and is discovered again in the 12th century, which is the same piece they rediscover in 2012, which then gets sent back in time again etc, etc...? That sounds awefully paradoxal Googly
Someone must've made it at some point.

And yeh, I wasn't very clear on that housing part. Sorry about that.

God only knows. But I think it is something to do with it's time travel capabilities.

I domt think it could be mayan or roman. The Piece had a digtal readout of where all the other pieces.

Here, just made a map of all of the Pieces of Eden and what countries they are in. In some locations it is not to clear, so I have put down a couple.

Key
1) Scotland
2) South England
3) France/Spain
4) West coast of Africa (Could be Canary Islands or just off Cape Verde)
5) Morocco
5) Sierra Leone or Guinea
7) Mali or Niger
8) Kenya or Tanzania
9) Egypt
10) Iraq, Jordan Or Saudi Arabia
11) Romania or Ukraine
12) Ukraine or Russia
13) Russia
14) Iran
15) India

Map

Even if the templars use the piece some people may be able to withstand thier influcence right. I mean Altiar and those other assassians were able too. Also i wonder if all are shaped like a sphere?

I knew there was no Italy when I played the first game. Doesn't really make sense. Probably Ubi decided on the sequel after the first game was finished and didn't take that into account.

Well i guess that since the New Assassians dont have that much time they go straight to a random memory trying to find a way to stop the templars. On that note this will most likely explain how the Assassians lost power and why they are livingn in small communties instead of fighting back now.
