As many of you know, there are hidden codes in the puzzles that are entirely optional. The one in Puzzle 3: Descendents in the picture of FDR is written in a Masonic script called Pigpen. It indicates that George Washington had a Piece of Eden, and that the Masons (or the Freemasons) brought the Piece of Eden across the sea. Well, a little research, and I found that Washington and Franklin Roosevelt were BOTH members of this secretive fraternal group called the Freemasons. Its kind of a 400 year old secret club that only men can join, and apparently, it was pretty hot in the old days of America, as a LOT of presidents were in it. Well, it is said in the picture that FDR's "inheritance" was the Apple (Piece of Eden 3), and George Washington had the SAME Apple (PE3) 150 years before, and that he passed it down. Well, thats all well and good . . . so I did some research.



Turns out that the Freemasons, being a secret society and all, have a few secrets. And the biggest conspiracy theory, over 200 years old, is that they are a cover organization for the Templar! The real Templar, anyway. If this is to be taken as true (and in the Assassin's Creed universe, real life conspiracies theories are always true in the game), then this means the Freemasons are a powerful, secretive organization with influential members, controlled by the Templar!



So it turns out lots of people have that bit figured out. However, there was one other tie in that relied upon that piece of information. Puzzle 6: Brothers concerns Cain and Able. It has a piece of scripture about Cain above each image, but it is NOT from the bible. At the end of it, a bit of Morse code, when translated says "TEMPLAR TEXTS ADAPTED BY MR SMITH". Well, I figured that was a dead-end, what with a name like Smith, but that these must be secret Templar records of some sort. So I about gave up. However, I did some research into the scripture, as I did not recognize it. It mentioned a title "Master Mahan". With a little digging, I found that this name is virtually exclusive to Mormon scripture. Well, I thought that was interesting. Then I found out that the founder of the Mormon order was named Joseph Smith, and that he created the religion by "translating" a divine book that only he could read. And what did I find next? Joseph Smith was a Freemason. Several of its founders were, actually. And the Mormon order has been acused and the subject of a few conspiracies itself as being an offshoot of the Freemason society.



If all of this is true, then this means that not only are the Freemasons a cover organization for the Templar, but that the Mormon order is as well! Not to mention, about 15 US presidents have been Freemasons. This is a pretty big reveal as far as the plot goes. Any thoughts?



tl;dr - Mormons are Freemasons, Freemasons are Templar. 15 US presidents are Templar. We're all going to die. Alright, so I just finished writting up my 35 page analysis of the plot and submitted it as an FAQ to Gamefaqs. I figured now would be a good time to reveal what I consider to be the biggest hidden fact in the puzzles aside from "The Truth" and the nature of the Assassins.As many of you know, there are hidden codes in the puzzles that are entirely optional.
