Upon arriving in Ancient Egypt, Sly meets Slytunkhamen, who most likely went by a different name until Sly tells him to change it eventually and rather than become him, Sly would instead teach him the tricks and moves he learned from him and would ask him to start the legacy.

And also (taken from what Le Paradox said in Thieves In Time) Sly would eventually live through history to encounter all his ancestors (possibly to include those he already met) until eventually (after most likely taking the hardest desision of his life) he would finaly reach his own time period. 1. Why would Slytunkhamen change his name? In my opinion it seems more plausible that it's just a coincidence than for him to change his name just because someone who claims to be his descendant told him to. I know Sly could probably convince him of that the same way he did with his other ancestors, but I still don't buy Slytunkhamen changing his name to... well, Slytunkhamen.

But thinking about that made me think up another theory: What if Conner actually named Sly after one of the Slytunkhamens?

2. Please remind me of what quote from Le Paradox you're talking about, because honestly I can't remember. Unless the quote in question backs up what you're saying, I'm not sure how Sly would live that long.
