Bringing it back - Introducing our Legacy Collection
With our Legacy Collection we take it back to the glorious times of Ancient Egypt, to the great masters and sages from the Nile. We are kicking off this collection with two stunning and fun cartoon designs focusing on the intellectual and spiritual heritage of our ancestors.
When brainstorming for motifs we loved the powerful idea of transforming well-known ancient figures into kid characters. And now here we are, the great mysteries are guarded by children and the god of protection and guidance Anubis manifested as a youth.
What can the wisdom of an old empire mean for our youth today? Egypt reminds us of our intellectual roots. Getting to know the black nations of antiquity, that created a way of life that unites spirituality, science, philosophy and art, can help the youth of today to live their life the most real way.
You need to know where you have been to know where you are going.

Our ambition to develop the Legacy Collection is to inspire young people to explore life and to bring back the gifts of our ancestors (not just from Egypt). Especially in these busy times it can help to become a Wisdom Seeker or Treasure Keeper to find out what is real. It is cool to unearth hidden jewels, not just in Minecraft. It is exciting to see your talents unfold, not just on the PlayStation controller. It is impressive to watch a seed grow, not just on YouTube.
With our Legacy Collection we want to remind kids everywhere that the power and mysteries of life lie in their own little hands and that they are already as great as the masters of old.
