“Language reconstruction complete,” the drone chimed. “Playback now?” “Sure. Go ahead,” the old explorer sighed as he marveled at the stubborn, dusty spires. “Playback: So long and thanks for all the funeral potatoes,” the drone beeped.

This Saint's Theory
The lead archaeologist kneels before the crumbled keystone of what ancient metadata identifies as the Taypull of Zai-On. Her gloved fingers trace across the strange language etched into the stone — a swirling fusion of Hebrew, Egyptian, and what the archives call “Deseret glyph.”
A voice crackles through the comm-link:
"What... what was this strange mystic cult which practiced sorcery and built massive castles to their god all over the world?"
Behind her, light drones scan the ruins. Celestial symbols glow faintly beneath the sand. A broken statue labeled Angel Moroni is lifted from the ash — still pointing skyward.
A second voice chimes in, reading from a corrupted archive:
"They claimed they were gods in embryo... that they could bind souls across dimensions, and ascend into realms beyond death."
"They had rituals of light, baptisms for the dead, and sacred names that no AI has deciphered."
"Their leaders wrote revelations and forged cities in the wilderness... then vanished, persecuted, executed... and finally, mythologized."
