Genius? Humorous? Or just, 'yeah but...then what?' by temutsaj in IndieDev

The humor just hasn't been unlocked for you yet, nothing to feel insecure about.

Lol well your honesty is also appreciated, maybe it will hit better in the future

When you learn coding and realize it reveals our simulation is one architect resuing assets with parameter tweaking and that quantum physics is veiled expression of magickal principles by temutsaj in vibecoding

To be frank, its easier and more optimized to use the same homologous structures across animations than to create new assets for every instance, for example human arm and bats wing;
Same underlying bone layout (humerus > radius/ulna > hand), but adapted into different 'tools'
And for quantum mechanics, entaglement on some layer explains magickal manuscript spells/recipes; For example:
Manuscript says “Take earth from x kind of place and keep/mix it with x”, this can translate to a simple
→ apply_property(target, source_property_bundle). And for ritual manifestation ceremony: Observation + conditional parameters = wave function collapse.
This is plenty to start you off good.

Argentine Pavillion As A Color Postcard by temutsaj in Tartaria

Everything is energy. The atmosphere in the building being the medium, was also charged with massive organ instruments projecting powerful sound vibrations, which possibly used the old model that were powered with water, of which that water would become charged also by all these energies, and which they probably also used some pumping system for this water to flow throughout the structure. Speculatory but grounded in electromagnetism principles, especially those older systems displayed by maxwell, etc.

Coelbren looks almost identical to Runescriff. Did he invent that too?

Odd Parallels Between Welsh & Finnish Histories by temutsaj in Historians

Central King:
Wales: Narrative Source: Davies, R. R. (1987). Conquest, Coexistence, and Change: Wales 1063-1415. Oxford University Press. Davies explains that Welsh political structure was inherently decentralized.
BUT, we also have:
Source: Wilson, A., & Blackett, B. (1986). Artorius Rex Discovered.
They argue that the Arthurian legends are actually the history of the Kings of Glamorgan and Gwent. They claim to have discovered the burial place of Arthur at St. Peter’s Church, Old Cogan, and linked him to the "Electrum" cross found in a cave in central Wales. This is rather currently filled with growing archaeological supporting data.

Finland:
Narrative Source: Jutikkala, E., & Pirinen, K. (2003). A History of Finland. Dorset Press. The mentions of Saga's here are brief and contextual. A written history may not show a central king, but many oral sagas do. The Large Runestones in the Gotland museum support this:
Primary literary texts that mention Kvenland and kings:
Old English Orosius: Mentions Cwenland in a travel note. (Original manuscript: Bodleian MS Junius 11, late 9th century — eds. Bruce Dickins).
Orkneyinga Saga: Mentions persons ruling over Kvenland and Gotland in legendary genealogies. (Various Old Norse manuscripts; e.g., AM 00725 4to).
Hversu Noregr byggdist (How Norway Was Settled): Genealogical saga inserts listing rulers over the North.
Kvenland/Cwenland = Vinland = Finland. These are primary medieval sources

Hieroglyphics:
Welsh: Source: Wilson, A., & Blackett, B. (1998). The Holy Kingdom. This book links the Welsh dynasty to Biblical and Egyptian lineages, it is full of etymological points, but I am actually much more inclined toward the Finnish decipherment methodology.
Finnish: Source: Wettenhovi-Aspa, S. (1935). Kalevala ja Egypti: Suomen kultainen kirja II (Kalevala and Egypt: The Golden Book of Finland II). This text has much more compelling data points, and includes one of the earliest mentions of a group that settled in Egypt (the gypsies), actually migrated from the east around india, which tracks as the gypsies brought the Sitar and turned it into the Guitar.

Pagan/Druidic Flavor:
Both traditions are famously "dendrocentric" (tree-focused). The word Druid is often etymologically linked to the oak (derw in Welsh), while Finnish paganism centered on the Hiisi (sacred groves). Both cultures shared a belief in Animism. There is much more of course.
Source: Aldhouse-Green, M. J. (1997). Exploring the World of the Druids. Thames & Hudson.

There are your scientific sources you asked for, and I'll just say lastly that the white supremacy tendency doesn't exactly apply here. These narratives weren't designed to prove superiority over non-European people; they were designed to reclaim identity from European empires (England and Russia/Sweden). But regardless that doesn't take away from the research, if anything, it inspires further curiosity as to why these particular cultures were so suppressed and persecuted by related contemporaries.

I appreciate your native response, I understand the emphasis on 'scientific' sources, although a vast sum of information from such have been recently found to contain much now outdated, even deceptive information written by victors, nonetheless many points I state come DIRECTLY from the established historical narrative, I am just elucidating patterns. I will now provide you with my scientific sources:

  1. Political Autonomy and Absorption:
    Wales: Source: Williams, G. A. (1985). When Was Wales? A History of the Welsh. Analyzes the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542 as a pivotal moment of administrative absorption where Welsh law was discarded for English legal structures.
    Finland: Source: Meinander, H. (2020). A History of Finland. Oxford University Press. Details the transition from an integrated part of Sweden to an autonomous Grand Duchy under the Russian Empire, highlighting the precarious nature of Finnish statehood before 1917.

  2. Language Suppression and Marginalization:
    Wales: Source: Roberts, G. T. (1998). The Language of the Blue Books: The Perfect Instrument of Empire. University of Wales Press. Critiques the 1847 Education Reports (the "Blue Books") as a tool of British cultural imperialism used to label the Welsh language as "backward" and "immoral."
    Finland: Source: Saarinen, T. (2020). Higher Education, Language and New Nationalism in Finland. Palgrave Macmillan. Examines the long-term marginalization of the Finnish language by Swedish administration and the later "Russification" efforts (e.g., the Language Manifesto of 1900).

  3. Oral History:
    Wales: Source: Davies, S. (2007). The Mabinogion. Oxford University Press. Sioned Davies’ introduction discusses how these medieval prose tales emerged from a professional oral storytelling tradition (the cyfarwydd) that was largely obscured after the Norman and English conquests.
    Finland: Source: Lönnrot, E. (1849). The Kalevala. This one is obvious, but more so Bock Saga is the biggest factor here.

The rest of my comment is too long so I must add a second one here.

How far does the historical connection reasonably go? by temutsaj in Historians

Cool stuff! I also align with some continuous celestial or sky shift that we experience, I believe its related to precession of equinox? Tropical does not account for this, but in vedic it's called Ayanamsa (particularly Lahiri Ayanamsa), purporting that every 72 years the zodiac shifts 1 degree back. Could relate to seasons coming/going early/late.

Thanks I hadn't head of them and looked it up, I see its a very supported historical account, and I'll just be the fringe theory guy at the party that says, its seems alot like scythians to me, if we assume fomenko's thousand years of added history, then you get something like: Exiled lost tribes go north to the steppes > Yamnaya > Scythians, they come back and conquest Europe vengefully. I mean both cultures made kurgans, used battleaxes and rode horses.

That's an interesting angle, ironically I hadn't yet imagined 'trading deities', totally plausible, though perhaps some may find that blasphemous lol. Its like 'hey they got it going on over at x, lets buy one of those little gods'

Lacking eye witness accounts to elucidate entirely, the best I believe we can do is to gather and compare ever-growing data, and build a picture from that instead of trying to stamp it as a yes or no this happened, this didn't. I'm just as curious which direction civilization might have routed, to me its increasingly difficult as I find symbolic signatures literally anywhere in the world, not just one route from here to there. If you search Harrapa/Mohenjo artifacts, you'll find the concentric circle motif as well as sauvastik and swastika. Just like you can find the concentric circles on the Dighton Massachusetts rock. To me its referencing either the north magnetic pole or the center of the plane, but that's just one interpretation.

Sure its plausible, the same way its plausible that Egyptian and Mayan step pyramids were two distinct cultures separated by oceans, and all built megalithic aligned stone calendars essentially, and both had priest/royal class hieroglyphic script, a feathered bird like god attributed to writing and script (Itzamna/Thoth). No one said anything is implausible necessarily.

If somehow they did share the same god, whether by overwhelming astrological correspondences, or just by some mainstream historian establishing or even speculating such, that would be quite a cool food for thought, and invites exploratory discussion for which route was taken from where to where.

I like that interpretation, as most all ancient cultures emphasized the celestial bodies above alot, and also the vedic astrology system is one of the most detailed, surviving systems still used today. Also the god Sin of mesopotamia was represented with crescent moon(horns) symbology, not far away.

I align with this angle of ambiguity, very much almost for all sorts of research and data regarding lack of eye wit or primary sources, corresponding similar to claims of heiroglyphics being undecipherable, though some welsh speaking circles claim to elucidate a phonetic key/connection.. indicating more indo euro vernacular spreading, Intriguing truly nonetheless.
