Just because there is none now, doesn't mean there never was

Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

They relive Ezio's mmory in the hope that the bleeding effect will impart desmond with Assassin skills.

@mikini: then think about this, Italy wasn't on that map, so the devs aren't going by that

Map

Is it me or are there modern borders on that map?
Someone should find the side from North America so we can tell if State borders are on there.

It looks like modern borders to me...hmmm IT CAME FROM THE FUTURE!!! lol.

Well, I read online somewhere that it was made by "Those who came before" Sounds pretty old, Like aztecs? Atlantes? Mayens? Eygyptions? Their are facts of advanced Technology, and barly any :non-advanced technology.

One of those numbers are in Alice Springs in Australia. o_O

Haahha! 250th post! More than I thought I'd ever get...

I think it will most likely have something to do with time travel.(probs going to screw with our heads hehe)

No one has taken into account that it could be religious like from god or some crap like that.

But knowing Ubi its going to have some crazy twist!!

Perhaps it was put there by an all powerful force. Perhaps...the force of God? Well maybe long ago, people could of seen it as an object of God. So since they saw it as God, they themselves, hypnotized themselves into it. As time passed, the Pieces could of somehow evolved throughout the age. What killed the Dinosaurs could of altered the pieces. Nuclear wars could of made them more powerful.

Well, since I absolutely know this is not why, It's just a guess put in by me

Well all of the borders of Africa that the major European powers drew up are there. So it was made after Altair's time.

Good point.

the devs could have made a mistake by puting borders especially if they were using a modern map to develop the arc of the covenant map

Hmm... I doubt that they would make a big oversight like that. It throws everything off.

At least we know one thing. The Assassins aren't looking for a piece of Eden, as there are none in Italy, the closest one being in France/Spain.

Managed to get a screenshot of the inactive POE, if it's any use:

Altair said "it's no larger than an apple"... I wonder what they water their orchards with, I havn't seen apples that big.

Thanks, as you can see, the pattern looks slightly futuristic, so I doubt the Mayans made it/

Time travel? It works in Star Trek because of all the awesome tech and the distant future, but AC? That might be a bit too sci-fi.

That map is the modern map. Oopsie.

Have you read the e-mails at Abstergo? Apparently they used a piece of Eden and the ship (forgotten it's name now) went forward in time for 18 minutes, so it's possible within the game.
