(I don't think I see a thread about this, so here I go.)
This game kept me up for three days. I couldn't rest until I found the truth. The secret of the gods, the apple, Adam and Eve; It thrills, doesn't it? Da'Vinci Code all over again.
I've set up this thread because I'd like help putting together what I've seen happen in beating the game, solving Subject 16's puzzles, and reading the codex pages.
Starting with the beginning, an advanced race of humans who are the "gods" (In the building/Garden of Eden) create an inferior, human race (possibly from experimenting)for maybe the purpose of slavery or worshipers. They were made with sleeping neural transmitters in their brains so that they could be controlled with "the pieces of Eden", specifically made orb(s?), sword, and staff. However, the original copies "Adam" and "Eve" steal the apple, trying to escape with it. Subject 16's video ends, leaving us wondering what happened to them...
Perhaps they really were banished out of "paradise", and created children under slight surveillance from the gods. Generations later, they rebel against the gods for casting them out of paradise.
What we know from the ending of the game is that everyone was wiped out from an event in space which caused the sun to explode/burn the entire planet. Yet humans had survived, hiding in "temples" (or something Minverva mentions).
Then, Mankind emerges anew. and everything we know of all beliefs and religions are centered around the advanced, futuristic humans that created us like "Minerva" or "Jupiter".
Then, the old relics that were used to control humans re-emerge. The apple most likely created the man we know as "Jesus" or "Krishna". A man who went across the world, manipulating followers with his apple (you see this even on a codex page).
Finally, The Templars and their opposites, The Assasins, are founded. The Templars seeking to rule the world with the relics, but above all: Achieve world order. The Assasin's seeking to help the people by ending the lives that have or would end many more.
My favorite Codex page is (Altair?) or some writer who points out the trend of worshiping one god and that when savages had made up gods for heat, air, gravity, etc, they were at least TRYING to explain nature (WHICH IS SCIENCE!!!)instead of saying some ray of light did it: Meaning our one god religions could all be "the greatest Lie ever told".
In Subject 16's puzzles, we see important figures holding the pieces of Eden. Learning that many were actually Templars and were behind world changing events like WWII.
-That they were the ones who burned Joan of Ark.
-That Nikola Tesla had found a piece of Eden, and accurately predicted something concerning radio waves. Was, however, forced to discontinue because of Thomas Edison.
AC2 was simply a thrilling game. It was my replacement for The Prince of Persia Trilogy (which I stubbornly say ends with the Two Thrones).
I would like everyone's help in making my theory better from with what you remember seeing in the game. I'm not sure if there is already some thread or site which already tells the Assasin's Creed story-line, but even if there is, I can put my mind at rest by making this thread.
I'm not even a conspiracy-theory kind of person, but that must be what makes this excellent story telling.
