Assassin's Creed Origins is due out later this month, taking players to Cleopatra's Egypt and revisiting one of the most fascinating and mysterious times in the history of the human race. Developer Ubisoft, having spent time exploring and researching this period of history realised that there is still much we don't know or understand about it, including the mysteries of one of humanities oldest written languages – hieroglyphics. That's why, with the aid of Google's TensorFlow technology, Ubisoft has set up The Hieroglyphics Initiative. The idea is, with the collaboration with Google, that machine learning could help to look through the imagery and research from history and using object identification to identify all the individual differences in each hieroglyph. To do that, however, Ubisoft and google need help.
