    I wanted to add to this theory by saying that pharaohs were also buried in temples with their riches. That’s why you can find gold, diamonds and gold apples. Also they were buried with scrolls/books that had spells on them to get them through trials on their way to the afterlife. Could these be enchantment books?

    I always thought the creepers were made by ancient players to serve as terraformers. I mean luring a creeper to a hill and detonating it is one of the easiest ways to clear land. The fact that iron golems don’t attack them also ties into this because players wouldn’t instruct their guards to kill a valuable mining machine, the same way you wouldn’t instruct a tank to shoot an excavator

      I think if they did, they only improved or manipulated it, not making it from scratch. If they really built it as a tool, they wouldn't have made it try to stand so close to them before exploding.
      And no, they can't be malfunctioning. There are too many of them for that to be true.

    String is more used like hair in the minecraft world. Upon killing a strider, they drop string because they have wispy hair. With cats, them dropping string as a gift or as their loot could represent a hairball or whiskers. String is also able to be turned into wool blocks, which wool is sheep hair. Thus string as loot in the same chest as rotten flesh and bones most likely also represents hair.

      For the cat thing, there are many other questionable mob drops that don’t seem appropriate for a kids’ game, such as turtles dropping a bowl when struck by lightning or even just cows dropping leather. You don’t even need to tan it before using it. You just take their raw skin and make armor out of it!

    Theory: some of the fossils in the nether point towards the stronghold. The fossils are other ender dragons that invaded the nether and over world. They destroyed the parts of the nether fortress and parts of bastions where the ancient civilization lived. The dragons breath turned the crimson forest into warped forest. They were chased back to where they came from and some were killed. This left the fossils and explains why there isn’t more then one dragon yet the dragon still has an egg. This also explains how there is more then one dragon head.

      Maybe they all have the ability to lay an egg and then fertilize it, but there are only two of them because their life cycle is weirdly timed and they can only have one child in their life... Maybe each dragon has its own little realm, maybe the ancient builders hunted them to the brink of extinction...
      There could be many reasons why there is only one dragon and egg...

      If you look at the list of things iron golems attack, it includes many things that they don't see on the overworld. Including tons of other mobs. This enforced Matpat's theory that they have been made to protect the ancient people by the ancient peoples. This is because villagers don't come under attack from things like blazes so why would iron golems attack blazes if they haven't seen them. So what about creepers.
      Well if they have been created by the desert dwelling form of their people, maybe they were only successful with making the creeper after the programming of the iron golem which means it wouldn't see them as a threat whilst zombies, which we assume come from a virus that has been around for eons, are pre programmed as a threat.

    2. The only thing a creeper attacks is the player, unless a skeleton shoots it or something.
    3. Cats also hiss, like creepers
    I used to think creepers were blind. When a cat hisses, the creeper is scared because it thinks it’s another creeper, as it can’t see that it is indeed a cat.

    Theory: Illagers and the ancient civilizations had a war, making the ancient people have to evacuate to other dimensions which connect to your nether and end theories. They tried to build the Warden to stop the Illagers from following them. The Illagers, took their ideas of preserving life, and warshipping cats, as well as the ancient civilization's supplies for the experiments, and tried to continue them, knowing that their population was limited. This also explains why the creepers are hostile to you, even though you are a descendant of the ancient civilization. MatPat it would be so much if you could see this comment :)

    i have an theory how the creepers appeared CH1: so there was a war between ancient players they were fighting until one of them got exploded they lost both of their arms and almost lost their legs but olny squares were left and his rib cage was open so a tnt fell inside. CH2: As everything was burning the dust covered the guys body and he slowly started to sink underground. But... there was a totem next to him rusted and missing an eye. and it was so close to the guys body until... it touched him. CH3: After it touched him he turned into a creature after 10 minecraft years he was covered in moss. CH4: One night Steve was fighting mobs, as he was fighting he encountered a mob he has never seen before he used his shield and then the mob.... KABOOM it exploded there were particles that looked like the creeper. And when they fell more of them started to appear. And thats how i think creepers appeared (Note: Sorry i didn't add some stuff)

    Another point id like to make, building on to the illigers copying the ancient peoples actions is the totem of undying. In ancient Egyptian culture there would be dolls and idols quite commonly used and worshiped, similar to the totem of undying. Either the totem is made by the illigers copying them, or the ancient people made totems and they were stolen from the illigers befor or after their extinction.

Ishtar also has a connection to death, disaster (landborn plague or worldwide flood if we're going with a minecraft lore), fire quenching (Nether reference perhaps)...and temples.

    The artificial creeper theory has to be correct and I have a theory of why the ancient builders did it. They may have wanted better security than a booby trap that destroys the valuables it's protecting when triggered, so they probably designed the creeper to be an extra set of protection but they managed to escape the deserts and explore the world. This means that for the builders the creepers ignored them but they attack us because they view us as hostile since they haven't been explicitly told that we are safe.

    Something i just remembered regarding the cat connection to ancient Egypt is that in earlier versions cats were just tamed Ocelots, Which are essentially the kind of cats that domesticated the ancient Egyptians.
    Only after more development they added cats and made them separate from Ocelots which coincidentally further tells the real world story of cats domesticating/enslaving humans.

    there is a slight problem with this as creepers try to kill us , when we seem to be descendants of the builders , but it could be that since they seem to be robot bombs , maybe the illagers could have broke something? so they would be kind to villagers and illagers as it still recognizes them as builder descendants , well maybe just villagers , BUT they would see other descendants like us as a threat and try to protect , or they just forgot how their masters looked like , and would mistake us as a threat , or their workings failed causing them to be slightly aggressive

      Totems are completely part of the lore in some way. They are made of gold and have emeralds for eyes. They are in a position like a cross. They look like baby villagers. There is something off about them. And I think MatPat should make a theory about gold, and it’s magical powers.

      @@jacklazer2301, on top of that, why is it that you can only get a totem from an evoker? One reason may be is that the evokers were experimenting with a *deactivated* totem of undying, as the totem doesn't save them from death, until the player kills the evoker.
      Now, why did the totem of undying activate after the death of the evoker? Simple, the evoker's soul.
      The totem of undying uses souls not to revive a player, rather to replace the spot of the dead user with that of another soul

    • @Doublemonk0506
      @Doublemonk0506 3 года назад +8

      Another suspicious thing is the name of this undying totem bringer, the evoker.
      Why is it called the evoker. Well, in the religious sense, to evoke is to call up a spirit or deity. And what deities known for doing, controlling life and death. Thus, the evoker is an abbot of the wooden mansion, working to find the answers to life and death
      To add, look at the evoker's robes. Those look awfully similar to the villager's clothing, no duh. But, there is speculation that the villagers' clothing is based off of men's clothing of ancient Hebrews.
      As Kronk would say, It's all coming together.
