But it was ''God''. That Snake is the ''son of Sol''. Sol Invictus was the God of the Romans, that Black Cube represents the worship of Saturn, which by Christian interpretation, is Satan. The Snake is represented as Satan too by Christians. Therefore, this God not only is real, but it is the devil

Also, the name Mother gives herself, Lamia, was a woman in greek mythology that got frisky with Zeus, whom in return Hera punished by killing all her children and cursing her never to sleep. Zeus as an act of his love gave her the ability to remove her own eyes so that she can sleep. She then became a sort of monster/demon preying on children during the night sucking their blood.
Dune is easy to understand, it's just a bit of sci fi on what amounts to a glactic-scale feudal chivalric fantasy. This, on the other hand, is just.... self-satistfied, self-indulgent, heavy-handed religious metaphor.
I love how the writers are re-imagining Earth's most ancient history. The storyline of humans (mammals) being forced underground by extremely hot, dangerous weather, and the serpents (dinosaurs) taking over is the story of the early Triassic, which is also the era that evolved motherhood, both by protecting the leathery eggs (dinosaurs) and live birth underground (marsupial mammals).
you can also extend the motherhood metaphor further, as the earth protected mammals inside her caves for them to re-emerge later while the dinasaurs die on the surface?
I see no reasons why it wouldn't make sense,both(the show and science) are fantasies haha, people find some odd monkey fossiles and discover a new hominid every couple of years so😅belive what you want to belive but sorry if the evidence dosen't point in that direction
The Romans also described the Christians as Atheist, since a refusal to worship, and outright denial of the existence of, the gods was seen as a fundamental rejection of religion and the divine. The fact that the Christians had their own god wasn't seen as important in light of their rejection of the polytheistic gods. Though the Sol Invictans, who were a Monotheist cult that believed all divine beings were aspects of the one supreme sun god, identified their god with the Christian one and opposed their persecution.

It had such potential (especially since it had A.I that could make any man look like Travis Fimmel) there’s so many twist & turns, analogies & metaphors but none of them appear to be that relevant while actually watching the show.

It was the five-sided pentagonal temples and objects that should have hinted that this isn't a real god. Because six sides is where it's at, and hexagons are the bestagons.

I love how he says the most outlandish things so calmly because... well... that’s the logic of the show. That’s what it takes to take rational meaning from abstract awareness, a rare gift.
The story actually appears to have a lot in common with the story of Cadmus. He comes to a new land and attempts to found a city. He builds a temple to the moon and then sacrifices a cow. However, when he sends his men to get water, they are all killed by a serpent belonging to Ares the god of war. In many descriptions, this giant serpent lives in a lush paradise. Cadmus slays the serpent then he plants the teeth of the serpent in the ground and a fearsome race of men rises up. They kill each other until only two remain. Thus the city of Thebes is founded but it eventually leads to ruin; think Oedipus and how his sons Eteocles and Polynices kill each other and this leads to the death of their sister Antigone. Thebes seemingly remained historically trapped in cycles of greatness and then ruin
yeah I was *just* coming to grips w the fact that the android was somehow pregante, and was semi-excited for a ?cute? necromancer/human hybrid kid, then BOOM, mouth-birthed flying snake suckling on Mother's ports
I didn't guess a snake but I did guess a monster. With Ridley Scott producing and this being a dystopian future I knew better than to expect a happy ending.
It was great until the hilarious snake birth. This video makes it seem less insane, but in the moment, watching the show, it jumped the shark. And it did it in the most Ridley Scott cliche way, with a hideous creature bursting out of someone's body.

It's bs, divisive bs, that turn our attention from the real fkrs, government and corporations screwing all of us.
I have heard it said that "atheists have to have a stronger faith than theists, as they must staunchly ignore all possibilities of divine power and influence." Something to think about
The show raises a ton of interesting ideas, themes, and plot points… and does nothing with any of them. You basically learn nothing significant in terms of themes or plot by the end of the first season. It’s Lost version 2 except at least Lost had some interesting character development.

I would have never watched this show but you have brilliantly summarized and clearly visualized it so well that I feel like I watched the entire season. Great work
You should actually watch the show.. the music, the cinematography, the direction, acting… all superb.. you are selling yourself short by watching “only” this synopsis…
@@officiallysantos I've zero interest in the show, despite the summary I can't honestly say I still want to sit through it tbh. It was interesting to hear atleast.
I've watched the 1st season and I'm currently watching the 2nd season. I like it and how it hints at so many things about mankind and their repeated behaviors that could lead us into a severely damaged planet that they'd want to escape from. I mean look at them now. Having reusable spaceships makes sense because it saves money but at the same time unquestioned greed and lust for power is causing so much destruction as it is and will continue if it isn't slowed and stopped. Through all the people have been through, some have chosen to hold fast to their religion of choice while others reasonably despise it.
He is living on a dangerous planet with flying snakes, feral humanoids and mutants, surround by radiation and hostile ecosystem ; This is Australia for you. Space Australia.
I really wish they'll change their minds, or manage to make a third season; I really enjoyed this show. I love Sci Fi/Dystopia, anybody recommend any other good shows that are in these genres please?
Like @haggispixie said, absolutely Battlestar Galactica if you haven't seen it; one of the best sci-fi series of all time in my opinion, which is especially surprising when you look at the original series which wasn't so good. I would also recommend the british tv show "Utopia", which ironically got an american remake which was shit compared to the original.
The atheists use the word "Jesus" as an epithet (dubbed in off camera, so no script mishap), which suggests that Mithraism became a popular religion after Christianity took hold (also Boston exists and that would be unlikely in a world where Mithraism took hold in ancient world). Think Mithraism became popular because of the tech that came w/ it.
Also, it’s important to note that the Mithraic in the show isn’t the same as Mithraism. Mithraism’s god was Mithras, not Sol. Sol, or Sol Invictus, was another popular Roman god at the time of the founding of Imperial Christianity.
@@NeptuneCheeseCake Yes! My fear is that the writers have just arbitrarily taken from Mithraism because of stuff like that. But then, they very carefully re-create imagery specific the the Roman cult popular with soldiers in pre-Christian Rome, so it looks like they're being very specific with their clues... and why would you dub in "Jesus" (said by Mary) if that wasn't an intended clue... If they punt on all of these teasers, I'm gonna be so pissed!
@@christophercousins184 my best guess going by the clues is mithraism originated as a new age relgion in this alternate timeline like how many people today are resurecting old relgions like norse but updating it to the modern day so mithraism is a mix of the original faith and other sun worshipping faiths of the past call it Neo Mithraism likely the original founder "found" the book of there new relgious tenents and texts using the technology within to spread the faith both by wonderous conversion and force.
@@wilmagregg3131 Well, I think perhaps some manuscript was discovered (or something like that) that had technology that "proved" the power of Sol... Enough so, that they would destroy Earth and go to "Sol's" planet of origin. The question then would be, how did the entity get this "information through some kind of scripture" to Earth? Hmmm...
@@NeptuneCheeseCake Sol Invictus got wrapped up in Mithraism. Mithras is depicted as interacting with Sol in murals. But we don't have any surviving manuscripts to tell us what Mithraism was all about. So the implication seems to be that the manuscripts the Mithraics found put Sol as the top deity or something. Perhaps Mithras is analogous to Jesus and Sol to the Father.
Now I'm just imagining a world where Mithraism replaced christianity like our world and made a tv show about christianity's God doing all this. And how the imagery would change
@@ChevyChase301 false, mithraism borrowed heavily from Christianity. Mithraism is later than Christianity. The theory that christmas is on 24 december is not really possible to be proven, so we dont know.
@JoeRingo118 it wasn't dated until we had the gregorian calendar, so saying it IS an actual date is futile as roman calendars didn't even have a december.
Besides the Mithraic references, and the garden of eden, I instantly thought of Quetzalcoatl / Kukulkan when I saw this flying serpent. Another set of deities that could also be related are Shenlong, Tianlong or other heavenly nagas.
One detail I don't know how to process yet is the fact that the "masked man" that Caleb and the others found on the cave was extremely agile, runing everywhere, and the one who attacked mother was not. Maybe these "devolved humans" that retain some of the Kepler history are working together.
I enjoyed Raised By Wolves. It has something of an old-school pulp science fiction about it along with a little Weird Tales thrown in and gave me a sense of wonder which doesn't often happen with modern scifi for me. It's not perfect though I found for me it held up enough to watch it through to the end. Another season at least would have been a good thing for the story though I doubt we'll get it now. I'm glad I stumbled on to your video as it's given me the itch to watch the show once more.
Thank you for this thorough explanation impeccably presented, as always. I missed your voice, as a Game of Thrones fan who got solace in your tone of voice and calm "dissection" of meaning and content of both the books and the series, and the meticulosly researched videos meant to help us understand what a show or another is about. I must confess I was a bit scared by the first episodes of Raised by Wolves but this video gave me heart to go back and continue watching. It is connected, in a weird way, to Westworld, what with androids becoming humanlike, developing a conscience and so on. Yes, I liked what you did in the videos on Westworld too. So thank you again for some of the best work I have seen on RUclips.
I mean Prometheus was aestethically pleasing, it was mysterious and fascinating, but it ultimately failed to deliver a compelling story and turned into a shitshow. I'm much more positive about Raised by Wolves, it's story is much more impactful and emotionally charged, I care about Campion, Mother and Father, about Mary, Paul, Vita and Tempest, it can be human, sweet, and even made me laugh from time to time. Also it finally drops the "Android Turns Bad and Kills Everyone" trope which we've seen so many times it has literally drained life from my body.
I'm calling it now that it's an infinite loop. Humans evolved on earth, ruined the earth with the holy wars and stuff shown in the series, the series happens with those guys going to the new planet, they become the devolved humans eventually that are on the planet and they do the stuff the devolved humans do, they leave the new planet and go back to earth, repeat for infinity.
If humanity keeps devolving then there will be a point of no return where nobody is left to hold the knowledge needed to travel between the stars. A few dozen humans will never be enough to start an entire new civilization many times. Its like getting increasingly inbred.
Ok, I just left a comment saying the same thing before I saw yours... But yeah, I got the same impression of this show. Very much seems like a dystopian people are doomed to make the same mistakes vibe.
"Every grave Is longing" (S1E02 lyrics) And "Pulling you from the ground" (S1E03-S1E10 lyrics) Are super evocative for the themes of death and resurrection, rebirth "Every wind, every wave / Every sky, every cloud / Every grave Is longing" also really gives the sense that the planet itself is alive...
Aren’t human behaviour weird... started to watch the show. Looked online to better understand what I was getting myself into. Found this video, then didn’t wanted to spoil the show for myself, ended up binging it so I can get the explanation of what I just watched lol
I have a dedicated playlist called Alt Shift X ASMR contains all of my favorite from his vids. I thought it's weird but now I'm glad there are others like me. His voice is soothing and calming, and his vids are usually long enough to put me to sleep, helps alots with my insomnia
I am just halfway into your video, and I must say you have done a wonderful job presenting the story thus far in a clear and logical manner. The combination of slides you use really helps and I love the clear references to specific episodes and character text. Your dry flat humor in presenting I really like too. VR milk gods lol. I have watched many RBW theory videos and hope yours also ranks up there. :) Thank you for making this video!
“Sol” is the sun behind the sun. Which is the symbol of the Mythraics. It’s heavily hypothesized that Sol is secretly lucifer. It makes sense considering the ending of season 1. This tale is basically a perversion/luciferic spin of adam and eve, the garden and the snake. Mother has a virgin birth. They end up in the tropics which is a visual metaphor of Eden. The snake ends up flying away. The snake in the garden. Sol is lucifer which would explain why Sol requires so much backstabbing and bloodshed just to have its baby snake born. The snake is born during an eclipse. This is classic satanic tale 101. A very entertaining story for sure but blatant satanism for those who know the symbolism (“those in the know”).
I took it as a reflection of how the winner of war, absorbs it's religious traditions to quell the masses and slips in it's own agenda to see the rise of a new world. Christianity is an amalgam mainly consisting of Mithraism, Greek, and Judaism. Mithraism was a pre-existing Roman religion which existed alongside Christianity in fact, soldiers from both religions often fought alongside each other. In the series, the Mithraics may as well represent Christianity because until much later during a series of council gatherings concluding in the famous Nicaea where methodical decisions were made to include new and exclude existing parts of the scripture to further blur the connections to traditions from religions it was built upon, the two were identical in most ways by design. A new authoritarian religion has to be very careful not to piss off the older, still powerful authoritarian religion and since Mithraism consisted of noble, rich and politically powerful Roman men and not least the Roman army, they wisely decided to stick with traditional practices such as Mithra's birthday on Dec 25, pontiffs as the elder priests, Sun association and Sunday as day of the Lord, having supper with his 12 followers, among others. After Christianity had clearly secured it's position over Mithraism, the Nicaea counsel sought to distance itself from it's predecessor by proclaiming that upon threat of death should no one worship false gods or idols, which is explained in several areas as a golden bull which is kind of backstabby seeing as how the Bull was sacred to the Mithras and they had a festival every year in May, the sign of the bull in Taurus, where the initiates would be tasked with killing a bull as and offering...and Christians didn't seem to have any problems with it at the time. Oh, how things change. When Mother gives her name in Episode 1, she says it’s Lamia, a child-eating monster from Greek mythology. It was important to incorporate their mythology because while Mithraism was made up of armies and powerful Romans, the church of Isis was comprised mostly of the commoners. From their traditions they took Isis and Horus which became Madonna and Child...born of immaculate conception since Osiris had been dismembered and tossed about the planet, Isis is called the "life-giver" and "resurrect" which, of course, they gave to Jesus so as not to piss off those in Mithraism who had no room for powerful women in their lexicon. The sacred serpent around Isis' crown representing her connection to Earth and Venus "the morning sun" turned into a nimbus or halo above Mary's head...a tradition which would gain traction after Mary, as all divine beings in Christian art acknowledged this as the saint's position of conduit between the heavens and Earth. And because Venus brings forth the morning sun appearing behind it, Isis brings the Son behind the son, and Mary the Son of God. Isis exclaims, "I, Isis, am all that has been, this or shall be. The fruit which I have brought forth is the Sun." In fact, most of the Isis dialog from the Greeks are direct quotes that Jesus says about his father. And of course, along with the Hebrew name Yeshua and Greek word Krystos meaning "anointed one" - you have Jesus. Jesus Christ was never a name, it's a title. If Jesus were ever real, being from a family of Judaic linage, he would have been called Yeshua bar Yehosef (Joshua son of Joseph). From the Judaic traditions they took monotheism. A smart move as the Jews were picky about that one. A Jewish prophet would not have deviated from the monotheistic one god philosophy which asserted that god (with a small g) was the force of both good, and evil, so Christians had to spin a pretty complicated yarn making Jesus the heir of god since that obviously would put them as a polytheistic religion. They did this by giving the one god a capitol G and splitting it off into God the Son, Father, and Holy Spirit. But still just one. Ok, whatever. The holy trinity concept was more acceptable at the time because the Romans had Jupiter, Mars, and Quirinus and after assimilating the Greeks it was Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. They stuck to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lineage as the Jews would see a cold day in hell (even though they didn't believe in Hell, proper) before they would relinquish the royal bloodline. You get the point. War is often not a sudden bloody battle. More often than not, it's a slow and steady takeover where many concessions are made to please all parties involved in the beginning, and as more power is gained after existing alongside the friend/enemy, those concessions begin to drop off. After all, the Mithra followers were ones who existed alongside followers of Zoroaster who had Magi that viewed Jupiter as representing the new king, and Saturn the old king and when the two planets crossed signifying a change of ruler and they crossed in Pisces which they associated with Israel, off they went to look for Jesus. But this wasn't the kings of Zoroaster because they were long dead having been defeated by the Mithras who carried on some of the astrological lore that was used to weasel their way into the trust of the existing Magi. And Isis, haven't we heard that name before? Right, from Egypt where the first known monotheistic following began when they decided to worship only Ra, the Sun god who's title was snobbishly taken many years later by a king who wanted to be god, Amun or Amun Ra which later became a very popular word, "Amen." Around that time, some old Egyptian priest dude you may have heard of named Moses of the monotheist Egyptians was pretty pissed off when the traditional polytheism Egyptians made a play for the royal position, which is understandable since it was basically denying his lineage and, along with the other Sun (Ra) monotheists out of Egypt to form a new state. Annnd that's where modern Jews got the 'Amen' that's said after prayer along with a switch from their polyamorous views to monotheistic one because of Moses' tantrum about losing his throne, and that's where Christian just took the whole thing and didn't even leave a tip on the table. Now that I have very little feeling left in my fingers, I'll wrap this up. I think Raised By Wolves was telling a story about how each new insurrection force thinks they're starting a new world, which is exactly what happens in the last episode. The same old story starts over again. The comet that destroys the dinosaurs is the ship containing Mother, Father, and the Son. Or, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost or Isis, Osiris and Horus. Out of Isis > Mary > Venus > The Morning Sun - comes the bringer of a new world borne from the old world where Mother, Father, and the Son barrel through the sky looking like a comet and crash into the very crater they created millions of years before with the dinosaurs...because in Mother's womb was both the bringer of life and destroyer of worlds stashed away by her Maker. Over and over and over. Going through the wormhole through time acting as the catalyst for the dinosaur's destruction which gives way for human life, and then going through the journey with the children until the Son behind the Son insider her demands to start again. It's just a thought, but I doubt it's Luciferian because the only people who worry about a Luciferian cult or agenda are the Christians who created him. If there are any underground elite cults worshipping sinister entities and planning to take over the world, and they may very well exist, you'll have to go back quite a bit further to say, Ba'al or Bael as the polytheistic Jews called him in the Lesser Key of Solomon ...or Moloch. I hear rumors of the 4 media giants controlling everything from Hollywood, print, prominent universities, etc could be the polytheistic Jews growing in power and planning to reestablish the old Israel worldwide as a One World Order and there's definitely some correlation with that, then the idea of Lucifer would probably piss them off seeing as how it's the invented dark overload of their subjugators. And you mentioned satan and Lucifer as though they're interchangeable. Satan was the old monotheistic Jews name for the dark side of their one god. Satan never existed in any way as a separate entity that tempted mankind or ruled in some hellish domain. Lucifer was taken from the Zoroaster's belief in a good and evil battle, so the two couldn't be more different.
I agree. In Ep. 6, Lost Paradise, the Campion Sturdy impersonator (entity) offers Mother 'the forbidden fruit' by giving her knowledge outside of the programming given by her creator. Also, the Mythraics sun symbolism and 'Sol is the light' catchphrase parallels to Lucifer's meaning as ‘light-bringing, morning star,’ ‘son of the morning.’
It’s funny how all of this circles back to the Garden of Eden because of the birth of a giant Snake or Serpent. Also Sol means light bringer and someone else also had the title of “Light Bringer” which was Lucifer before he was cast out of Heaven. Next watch people fight over the fruit from a tree because the Serpent starts gaslighting them into thinking eating said fruit will make them immortal or just gods.
except for the weird living planetary core even all tommorows didnt have anything like that heck both the asteromorphs and gravitals would be confused by that
It is a tragedy that this story wasnt allowed to be continued when ALL THIS HUMAN EXCREMENT (Acolyte, Rings of Power etc, get chances and unlimited money)
A few things I noticed that weren't mentioned. 1. The serpent broke the lander seemingly with little effort, which leads me to believe that it was protected by some power as it passed through the molten core. 2. Paul said that Sol needs them to stay on this side of the planet, or it would be very bad. 3. The serpent that Mother births is distinctly different from the bones we see of the ancient ones. The mouths are nothing alike. What does all this mean? I have no clue.
Sorry for my english See I think Paul was right about staying on this side because if we see now the serpent is exactly on the other side of them .as it pass through the molten core and it is now on the opposite side of them.
Something interesting about number 3 - besides being modeled after a lamprey, the mouth on Mother's serpent looks a lot like the trap Paul created back at the settlement. I'm pretty sure while in the early stages of growth inside Mother at the settlement, either A) the serpent was influenced by the trap or B) the serpent influenced Paul to make it look like that. I'm thinking Paul influenced the serpent, since he has a penchant for design - like the city miniatures he was making on the trip to 22b and at the settlement playing with rocks.

This show is WILD. I hate that it got cancelled. Season 2 was even crazier than season 1!!!!!
Are you guys going to recap season 2?
This show litterally creeped me out and i liked every episode
Amazing show, should still exist on hbo
It was cancelled for a reason
@@jamescuttler8047 it was actually one of the highest viewed shows on HBO max. It probably got cancelled to make way for House of the Dragon.
Also, the name Mother gives herself, Lamia, was a woman in greek mythology that got frisky with Zeus, whom in return Hera punished by killing all her children and cursing her never to sleep. Zeus as an act of his love gave her the ability to remove her own eyes so that she can sleep. She then became a sort of monster/demon preying on children during the night sucking their blood.
and that's one more fucked up story from the greek gods to add to the list
preying*

Ridley Scott found a way to make his original version of Prometheus.
Or prequel to it
The devolved humans definitely bear a resemblance to the beings in Prometheus.
Ok this is definitely Prometheus: the Snyder cut

Next time you are having a shitty day...remember the Ox! :d
I love how the writers are re-imagining Earth's most ancient history. The storyline of humans (mammals) being forced underground by extremely hot, dangerous weather, and the serpents (dinosaurs) taking over is the story of the early Triassic, which is also the era that evolved motherhood, both by protecting the leathery eggs (dinosaurs) and live birth underground (marsupial mammals).
This is underrated.
you can also extend the motherhood metaphor further, as the earth protected mammals inside her caves for them to re-emerge later while the dinasaurs die on the surface?
I see no reasons why it wouldn't make sense,both(the show and science) are fantasies haha, people find some odd monkey fossiles and discover a new hominid every couple of years so😅belive what you want to belive but sorry if the evidence dosen't point in that direction
thats a bit of a stretch lol
Sounds cringe and WOKE. Ridley Scott buys into the global warming hoax sadly. I guess he believes silly story of dinosaurs too.
They're not actually atheists btws. Its like how the Romans considered the Huns to be Atheist because they had no shrines or temples.
The Romans also described the Christians as Atheist, since a refusal to worship, and outright denial of the existence of, the gods was seen as a fundamental rejection of religion and the divine. The fact that the Christians had their own god wasn't seen as important in light of their rejection of the polytheistic gods.
Though the Sol Invictans, who were a Monotheist cult that believed all divine beings were aspects of the one supreme sun god, identified their god with the Christian one and opposed their persecution.
@@JakobatHeart its kinda my attempt to shorthand Cult of Sol Invictus, but yeah Sol Invictus is a badass name for a God.
@@JakobatHeart It sure beats worshiping some guy named Chris with a T at the end. Guy can't get over his crucifixion, you'd think an omniscient and omnipresent god could get over this one time he was dead for 3 days, pff.

Thanks so much for this excellent breakdown of that very complex story. I'm gutted the show was discontinued :(
The story actually appears to have a lot in common with the story of Cadmus. He comes to a new land and attempts to found a city. He builds a temple to the moon and then sacrifices a cow. However, when he sends his men to get water, they are all killed by a serpent belonging to Ares the god of war. In many descriptions, this giant serpent lives in a lush paradise. Cadmus slays the serpent then he plants the teeth of the serpent in the ground and a fearsome race of men rises up. They kill each other until only two remain. Thus the city of Thebes is founded but it eventually leads to ruin; think Oedipus and how his sons Eteocles and Polynices kill each other and this leads to the death of their sister Antigone. Thebes seemingly remained historically trapped in cycles of greatness and then ruin
He was also married to Harmonia and they both were turned in to snakes and ended up living in Elysian Fields. Many serpents in his life...

I'm sure you already know this: Prometheus is in the same vein.
@@ivanttosuckyourblood Yeah have watched and love that movie.
There’s always Star Trek
The re-imagined Battlestar Galactica is what you're after I believe. Start with the 2 part miniseries which sets it up and then on to season 1-4.
Like @haggispixie said, absolutely Battlestar Galactica if you haven't seen it; one of the best sci-fi series of all time in my opinion, which is especially surprising when you look at the original series which wasn't so good.
I would also recommend the british tv show "Utopia", which ironically got an american remake which was shit compared to the original.
The atheists use the word "Jesus" as an epithet (dubbed in off camera, so no script mishap), which suggests that Mithraism became a popular religion after Christianity took hold (also Boston exists and that would be unlikely in a world where Mithraism took hold in ancient world). Think Mithraism became popular because of the tech that came w/ it.
Also, it’s important to note that the Mithraic in the show isn’t the same as Mithraism. Mithraism’s god was Mithras, not Sol. Sol, or Sol Invictus, was another popular Roman god at the time of the founding of Imperial Christianity.
@@NeptuneCheeseCake Yes! My fear is that the writers have just arbitrarily taken from Mithraism because of stuff like that. But then, they very carefully re-create imagery specific the the Roman cult popular with soldiers in pre-Christian Rome, so it looks like they're being very specific with their clues... and why would you dub in "Jesus" (said by Mary) if that wasn't an intended clue... If they punt on all of these teasers, I'm gonna be so pissed!
@@christophercousins184 my best guess going by the clues is mithraism originated as a new age relgion in this alternate timeline like how many people today are resurecting old relgions like norse but updating it to the modern day so mithraism is a mix of the original faith and other sun worshipping faiths of the past call it Neo Mithraism likely the original founder "found" the book of there new relgious tenents and texts using the technology within to spread the faith both by wonderous conversion and force.
@@wilmagregg3131 Well, I think perhaps some manuscript was discovered (or something like that) that had technology that "proved" the power of Sol... Enough so, that they would destroy Earth and go to "Sol's" planet of origin. The question then would be, how did the entity get this "information through some kind of scripture" to Earth? Hmmm...
@@NeptuneCheeseCake Sol Invictus got wrapped up in Mithraism. Mithras is depicted as interacting with Sol in murals. But we don't have any surviving manuscripts to tell us what Mithraism was all about. So the implication seems to be that the manuscripts the Mithraics found put Sol as the top deity or something. Perhaps Mithras is analogous to Jesus and Sol to the Father.
Now I'm just imagining a world where Mithraism replaced christianity like our world and made a tv show about christianity's God doing all this. And how the imagery would change
Christianity borrowed a great deal from Mithraism. Christmas on the 25th is a Mithraic festival
@@ChevyChase301 false, mithraism borrowed heavily from Christianity. Mithraism is later than Christianity. The theory that christmas is on 24 december is not really possible to be proven, so we dont know.
@@darnokthemage170 There is evidence dating it from before Christianity. It's hard to tell for sure.
could be a world where the roman empire did not fall
@JoeRingo118 it wasn't dated until we had the gregorian calendar, so saying it IS an actual date is futile as roman calendars didn't even have a december.
Besides the Mithraic references, and the garden of eden, I instantly thought of Quetzalcoatl / Kukulkan when I saw this flying serpent. Another set of deities that could also be related are Shenlong, Tianlong or other heavenly nagas.
wow man, this is really on point, just helped me remember the entire season 1. this is precise
One detail I don't know how to process yet is the fact that the "masked man" that Caleb and the others found on the cave was extremely agile, runing everywhere, and the one who attacked mother was not. Maybe these "devolved humans" that retain some of the Kepler history are working together.
The show runner did say they were part of a group, I figure there’s definitely still some others.
@fart nugget That would fit with a snake-eating-it's-own-tail imagery
Father: "What's that?"
Mother: "That's the Pit."
Father: "Where'd Tally go?"
Mother: "Into the pit."
*starts moshing while Testament play on stage*
"what is that weird creature?"...."pit-person"
I can`t get over the fact they are called necromancers and not banshees
What a squandered opportunity
I know right seems everyone they kill stays dead.
Banshees definitely would have been a fitting name.
Yeah I was thinking sky wraith, but banshees are a better description. Still both names both sound cooler and make a lot more sense than necromancers!
@Constant Gardener you are right, i think so too and maybe the twist that theory further in season 2
I enjoyed Raised By Wolves. It has something of an old-school pulp science fiction about it along with a little Weird Tales thrown in and gave me a sense of wonder which doesn't often happen with modern scifi for me. It's not perfect though I found for me it held up enough to watch it through to the end. Another season at least would have been a good thing for the story though I doubt we'll get it now. I'm glad I stumbled on to your video as it's given me the itch to watch the show once more.
Thank you for this thorough explanation impeccably presented, as always. I missed your voice, as a Game of Thrones fan who got solace in your tone of voice and calm "dissection" of meaning and content of both the books and the series, and the meticulosly researched videos meant to help us understand what a show or another is about. I must confess I was a bit scared by the first episodes of Raised by Wolves but this video gave me heart to go back and continue watching. It is connected, in a weird way, to Westworld, what with androids becoming humanlike, developing a conscience and so on. Yes, I liked what you did in the videos on Westworld too. So thank you again for some of the best work I have seen on RUclips.
Ridley Scott: "What if we did Prometheus again but even more pretentious?"
HBO: "Give this man a raise and a $97 million budget."
Hahaha well put.
It's so bad.
I loved Prometheus, enjoyed Raised By Wolves, and am excited for the sequel!
I mean Prometheus was aestethically pleasing, it was mysterious and fascinating, but it ultimately failed to deliver a compelling story and turned into a shitshow. I'm much more positive about Raised by Wolves, it's story is much more impactful and emotionally charged, I care about Campion, Mother and Father, about Mary, Paul, Vita and Tempest, it can be human, sweet, and even made me laugh from time to time. Also it finally drops the "Android Turns Bad and Kills Everyone" trope which we've seen so many times it has literally drained life from my body.
Ridley had nothing to do with the writing of the show.
failing upwards
I'm calling it now that it's an infinite loop. Humans evolved on earth, ruined the earth with the holy wars and stuff shown in the series, the series happens with those guys going to the new planet, they become the devolved humans eventually that are on the planet and they do the stuff the devolved humans do, they leave the new planet and go back to earth, repeat for infinity.
Ouroboros .
If humanity keeps devolving then there will be a point of no return where nobody is left to hold the knowledge needed to travel between the stars.
A few dozen humans will never be enough to start an entire new civilization many times. Its like getting increasingly inbred.
Ok, I just left a comment saying the same thing before I saw yours... But yeah, I got the same impression of this show. Very much seems like a dystopian people are doomed to make the same mistakes vibe.
My guess that that Sol guy is just an ancient AI, with almost god-like powers, who dwells deep in K22 and plays it's game with living stuff for eons.
This guy Ridley Scott's.
WHERE IS THE EXPLAINED OF SEASON 2 ?
Every step, every beat
Every thought, every breath
Everything is longing
love the intro song
"Every grave Is longing" (S1E02 lyrics)
And "Pulling you from the ground" (S1E03-S1E10 lyrics)
Are super evocative for the themes of death and resurrection, rebirth
"Every wind, every wave / Every sky, every cloud / Every grave Is longing" also really gives the sense that the planet itself is alive...
Yes, the intro is so beautiful and harrowing!
God, I get chills even just reading that!
Is it weird I watched all of Raised by Wolves in a couple days so I could watch this video with context?
Nah, I basically did the same thing.
Same. Was almost more excited to watch this than the actual show lol. Even tho I did enjoy it.
Same bro except i did it in one sitting (or laying to be exact)
Yes
Aren’t human behaviour weird... started to watch the show. Looked online to better understand what I was getting myself into. Found this video, then didn’t wanted to spoil the show for myself, ended up binging it so I can get the explanation of what I just watched lol
“True snakey intentions” is a phrase I really hope to use someday
Ugh I still kinda hope they bring this back. I randomly found it one day and it was so good
i listen to Alt Shift every night as i sleep. his voice is just very relaxing
I have a dedicated playlist called Alt Shift X ASMR contains all of my favorite from his vids. I thought it's weird but now I'm glad there are others like me. His voice is soothing and calming, and his vids are usually long enough to put me to sleep, helps alots with my insomnia
It's still weird.
I thought I was the only one who did this lol...
Same, Alt Shift X and The Exploring Series do it for me.
I am just halfway into your video, and I must say you have done a wonderful job presenting the story thus far in a clear and logical manner. The combination of slides you use really helps and I love the clear references to specific episodes and character text. Your dry flat humor in presenting I really like too. VR milk gods lol. I have watched many RBW theory videos and hope yours also ranks up there. :) Thank you for making this video!
“Sol” is the sun behind the sun. Which is the symbol of the Mythraics. It’s heavily hypothesized that Sol is secretly lucifer. It makes sense considering the ending of season 1. This tale is basically a perversion/luciferic spin of adam and eve, the garden and the snake. Mother has a virgin birth. They end up in the tropics which is a visual metaphor of Eden. The snake ends up flying away. The snake in the garden. Sol is lucifer which would explain why Sol requires so much backstabbing and bloodshed just to have its baby snake born. The snake is born during an eclipse. This is classic satanic tale 101. A very entertaining story for sure but blatant satanism for those who know the symbolism (“those in the know”).
Good points, will watch again and see if I totally agree. Creepy if it is.
@@stevus23 please do share your thoughts afterwards 😁
I took it as a reflection of how the winner of war, absorbs it's religious traditions to quell the masses and slips in it's own agenda to see the rise of a new world. Christianity is an amalgam mainly consisting of Mithraism, Greek, and Judaism. Mithraism was a pre-existing Roman religion which existed alongside Christianity in fact, soldiers from both religions often fought alongside each other. In the series, the Mithraics may as well represent Christianity because until much later during a series of council gatherings concluding in the famous Nicaea where methodical decisions were made to include new and exclude existing parts of the scripture to further blur the connections to traditions from religions it was built upon, the two were identical in most ways by design. A new authoritarian religion has to be very careful not to piss off the older, still powerful authoritarian religion and since Mithraism consisted of noble, rich and politically powerful Roman men and not least the Roman army, they wisely decided to stick with traditional practices such as Mithra's birthday on Dec 25, pontiffs as the elder priests, Sun association and Sunday as day of the Lord, having supper with his 12 followers, among others. After Christianity had clearly secured it's position over Mithraism, the Nicaea counsel sought to distance itself from it's predecessor by proclaiming that upon threat of death should no one worship false gods or idols, which is explained in several areas as a golden bull which is kind of backstabby seeing as how the Bull was sacred to the Mithras and they had a festival every year in May, the sign of the bull in Taurus, where the initiates would be tasked with killing a bull as and offering...and Christians didn't seem to have any problems with it at the time. Oh, how things change.
When Mother gives her name in Episode 1, she says it’s Lamia, a child-eating monster from Greek mythology. It was important to incorporate their mythology because while Mithraism was made up of armies and powerful Romans, the church of Isis was comprised mostly of the commoners. From their traditions they took Isis and Horus which became Madonna and Child...born of immaculate conception since Osiris had been dismembered and tossed about the planet, Isis is called the "life-giver" and "resurrect" which, of course, they gave to Jesus so as not to piss off those in Mithraism who had no room for powerful women in their lexicon. The sacred serpent around Isis' crown representing her connection to Earth and Venus "the morning sun" turned into a nimbus or halo above Mary's head...a tradition which would gain traction after Mary, as all divine beings in Christian art acknowledged this as the saint's position of conduit between the heavens and Earth. And because Venus brings forth the morning sun appearing behind it, Isis brings the Son behind the son, and Mary the Son of God. Isis exclaims, "I, Isis, am all that has been, this or shall be. The fruit which I have brought forth is the Sun." In fact, most of the Isis dialog from the Greeks are direct quotes that Jesus says about his father. And of course, along with the Hebrew name Yeshua and Greek word Krystos meaning "anointed one" - you have Jesus. Jesus Christ was never a name, it's a title. If Jesus were ever real, being from a family of Judaic linage, he would have been called Yeshua bar Yehosef (Joshua son of Joseph).
From the Judaic traditions they took monotheism. A smart move as the Jews were picky about that one. A Jewish prophet would not have deviated from the monotheistic one god philosophy which asserted that god (with a small g) was the force of both good, and evil, so Christians had to spin a pretty complicated yarn making Jesus the heir of god since that obviously would put them as a polytheistic religion. They did this by giving the one god a capitol G and splitting it off into God the Son, Father, and Holy Spirit. But still just one. Ok, whatever. The holy trinity concept was more acceptable at the time because the Romans had Jupiter, Mars, and Quirinus and after assimilating the Greeks it was Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva. They stuck to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob lineage as the Jews would see a cold day in hell (even though they didn't believe in Hell, proper) before they would relinquish the royal bloodline.
You get the point. War is often not a sudden bloody battle. More often than not, it's a slow and steady takeover where many concessions are made to please all parties involved in the beginning, and as more power is gained after existing alongside the friend/enemy, those concessions begin to drop off. After all, the Mithra followers were ones who existed alongside followers of Zoroaster who had Magi that viewed Jupiter as representing the new king, and Saturn the old king and when the two planets crossed signifying a change of ruler and they crossed in Pisces which they associated with Israel, off they went to look for Jesus. But this wasn't the kings of Zoroaster because they were long dead having been defeated by the Mithras who carried on some of the astrological lore that was used to weasel their way into the trust of the existing Magi. And Isis, haven't we heard that name before? Right, from Egypt where the first known monotheistic following began when they decided to worship only Ra, the Sun god who's title was snobbishly taken many years later by a king who wanted to be god, Amun or Amun Ra which later became a very popular word, "Amen." Around that time, some old Egyptian priest dude you may have heard of named Moses of the monotheist Egyptians was pretty pissed off when the traditional polytheism Egyptians made a play for the royal position, which is understandable since it was basically denying his lineage and, along with the other Sun (Ra) monotheists out of Egypt to form a new state. Annnd that's where modern Jews got the 'Amen' that's said after prayer along with a switch from their polyamorous views to monotheistic one because of Moses' tantrum about losing his throne, and that's where Christian just took the whole thing and didn't even leave a tip on the table.
Now that I have very little feeling left in my fingers, I'll wrap this up. I think Raised By Wolves was telling a story about how each new insurrection force thinks they're starting a new world, which is exactly what happens in the last episode. The same old story starts over again. The comet that destroys the dinosaurs is the ship containing Mother, Father, and the Son. Or, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost or Isis, Osiris and Horus. Out of Isis > Mary > Venus > The Morning Sun - comes the bringer of a new world borne from the old world where Mother, Father, and the Son barrel through the sky looking like a comet and crash into the very crater they created millions of years before with the dinosaurs...because in Mother's womb was both the bringer of life and destroyer of worlds stashed away by her Maker. Over and over and over. Going through the wormhole through time acting as the catalyst for the dinosaur's destruction which gives way for human life, and then going through the journey with the children until the Son behind the Son insider her demands to start again.
It's just a thought, but I doubt it's Luciferian because the only people who worry about a Luciferian cult or agenda are the Christians who created him. If there are any underground elite cults worshipping sinister entities and planning to take over the world, and they may very well exist, you'll have to go back quite a bit further to say, Ba'al or Bael as the polytheistic Jews called him in the Lesser Key of Solomon ...or Moloch. I hear rumors of the 4 media giants controlling everything from Hollywood, print, prominent universities, etc could be the polytheistic Jews growing in power and planning to reestablish the old Israel worldwide as a One World Order and there's definitely some correlation with that, then the idea of Lucifer would probably piss them off seeing as how it's the invented dark overload of their subjugators. And you mentioned satan and Lucifer as though they're interchangeable. Satan was the old monotheistic Jews name for the dark side of their one god. Satan never existed in any way as a separate entity that tempted mankind or ruled in some hellish domain. Lucifer was taken from the Zoroaster's belief in a good and evil battle, so the two couldn't be more different.
I agree. In Ep. 6, Lost Paradise, the Campion Sturdy impersonator (entity) offers Mother 'the forbidden fruit' by giving her knowledge outside of the programming given by her creator.
Also, the Mythraics sun symbolism and 'Sol is the light' catchphrase parallels to Lucifer's meaning as ‘light-bringing, morning star,’ ‘son of the morning.’
The morning star
It’s funny how all of this circles back to the Garden of Eden because of the birth of a giant Snake or Serpent. Also Sol means light bringer and someone else also had the title of “Light Bringer” which was Lucifer before he was cast out of Heaven. Next watch people fight over the fruit from a tree because the Serpent starts gaslighting them into thinking eating said fruit will make them immortal or just gods.
This was the best synopisis of the show and I cannot wait for season two!
Lol why?
I did not expect to like this show as much as I did. It ended up being one of the best series I’ve watched in awhile.
This is like side story of all tommorows.
True
except for the weird living planetary core even all tommorows didnt have anything like that heck both the asteromorphs and gravitals would be confused by that
It is a tragedy that this story wasnt allowed to be continued when ALL THIS HUMAN EXCREMENT (Acolyte, Rings of Power etc, get chances and unlimited money)
A few things I noticed that weren't mentioned.
1. The serpent broke the lander seemingly with little effort, which leads me to believe that it was protected by some power as it passed through the molten core.
2. Paul said that Sol needs them to stay on this side of the planet, or it would be very bad.
3. The serpent that Mother births is distinctly different from the bones we see of the ancient ones. The mouths are nothing alike.
What does all this mean? I have no clue.
Sorry for my english
See I think Paul was right about staying on this side because if we see now the serpent is exactly on the other side of them .as it pass through the molten core and it is now on the opposite side of them.
2 - I think Sol would have want the serpent kill all the atheists landing on this side of the planet
Something interesting about number 3 - besides being modeled after a lamprey, the mouth on Mother's serpent looks a lot like the trap Paul created back at the settlement. I'm pretty sure while in the early stages of growth inside Mother at the settlement, either A) the serpent was influenced by the trap or B) the serpent influenced Paul to make it look like that.
I'm thinking Paul influenced the serpent, since he has a penchant for design - like the city miniatures he was making on the trip to 22b and at the settlement playing with rocks.
1 when through core ship took the damage. The snake itself broke the ship later as it has the ability of supergrow and strength-BESIDE FLYING(???))-🤣
What you call milk is actually android blood, which gives the scene a whole new twist. Think about it. : >
Milk, lol.
Right?! Just like in Alien.... I’m wondering if they’re going to converge.
@@adamblackman6660 Well, it's Ridley Scott; so. : >
I wanna see another season so bad! D:
@Jov Ven lol
Father is best character, I can never get tired of his dad jokes
So true.
Still anxiously waiting for your coverage of season 2 of Raised by wolves...
I can't wait for the engineers to show up in the next season XD
And says.
Dafqu going on here?
